Expert Opinion: "Karakalpakstan will not become a second Transnistria"

Oleg Golishnikov, an expert from Uzbekistan, commented for Caliber (https://caliber.az/ru/post/92960/) on the events in Karakalpakstan, where unrest occurred against the background of constitutional amendments in the country.

Karakalpakstan


According to the expert, external forces could have been involved in the events in Karakalpakstan, but even if they were, they failed. He stressed that it would be an oversimplification to consider Russia or the West responsible for provoking the unrest, since Uzbekistan and other Central Asian countries have their own internal dynamics. Golishnikov also said that he does not expect Karakalpakstan to turn into a second Transnistria or Abkhazia, that is, a zone of permanent conflict and history.


At the same time, there have been recent manifestations of protest potential in all Central Asian republics: "The recent events in Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan are not links in the same chain, but they once again draw the attention of the authorities of all Central Asian countries to the need to accelerate real reforms aimed at improving the well-being of citizens and ensuring their rights and freedoms.

Turkey to offer Russia and Ukraine "Hong Kong model" of peace

Turkey promotes the so-called "Hong Kong model" of reconciliation, under which Russia is offered to receive the territories of Donetsk, Luhansk and the Crimean peninsula for "long-term use". The Moscow-based Institute of the Middle East, which provides expert analytical services to Russian government agencies on Middle Eastern issues, writes about it. The reconstruction of Donetsk and Luhansk will be done at the expense of the Russian side. After a certain period of time (various periods of time are mentioned, on average 50 years), Russia will have to return these territories to Ukraine. As the Turkish side insists, this model is a win-win model for both sides of the conflict. ▪️ For Ukraine - because it will receive a Russian commitment, guaranteed by international observers, that it will get back the territories it considers its own and, as can be seen, no Ukrainian leadership will be able to retain its power by agreeing to the contrary. Thus, Ukraine wil...

Uzbekistan: Why do migrant workers need Russia when there is the West?

Experts from the Institute of Forecasting and Macroeconomic Research (IPMR) of Uzbekistan proposed organizing free English language courses. In this way, it would be easier to reorient Uzbeks to labor markets in English-speaking countries and reduce dependence on Russia, the Institute believes. "The high dependence of migrant workers' incomes on Russia (https://t.me/asian_states_in_ukrainian_crisis/801) increasingly aggravates the situation not only in the labor market, but also in the country as a whole. For these reasons, it is already necessary to consider new opportunities for labor exports," reads the publication (https://telp.cc/Kzz) on the website of the institute. Its authors point out that $5.6 billion or 70% of remittances received by Uzbekistan in 2021 came from Russia. That same year, the number of Uzbek migrant workers in Russia was 1,036,305 (according to the Ministry of Employment and Labor Relations).   The mos t attractive destinations for the promotion...
