Kyrgyzsstan to go the way of Bosnia, and the next proxy cold war
battle of FSU?
Karabekov also called for financial support for the study of Russian
because of its importance in the CIS, but said there is no need to
give Uzbek the status of an official language even though there are
about 800,000 ethnic Uzbeks living in Kyrgyzstan (out of a total
population of 5.4 million), because Uzbek is closely related to
Kyrgyz.
I wonder if this proposed statement of policy will alienate the
Uzbeks, who will use it to encourage Uzbekistan to support autonomy
all the way to incorporation into Greater Uzbekistan? And I wonder if
the US and Russia will stick thier fingers in this potential *****
storm? Karabekov would be Russia's man, and the US will probably back
a leader who supports the status quo. If things go out of hand, then I
think the US will back a pro Uzbek stance on the issue, to weaken the
position of the Russians.
And the IMU will be waiting for all the actors to weaken themselves so
they can establish their Pan Islamic entity in the Ferghana valley...
KYRGYZ PARLIAMENTARIAN SAYS DRAFT LANGUAGE LAW AIMED AGAINST
NORTHERNERS
Kabay Karabekov, chairman of the Kyrgyz lower house's Committee on
Public Associations and Information Policy, told a parliamentary
session on 8 January that the draft law on the state language
currently under debate is intended as an electioneering device to
please Kyrgyz speakers by pushing out of government inhabitants of the
northern part of the country who do not know Kyrgyz well, akipress.org
reported. The government draft requires that all officials have
sufficient command of Kyrgyz, the state language, to be able to
conduct business in it. Many ethnic Kyrgyz and Russians in the north
have only a limited command of Kyrgyz. Karabekov also called for
financial support for the study of Russian because of its importance
in the CIS, but said there is no need to give Uzbek the status of an
official language even though there are about 800,000 ethnic Uzbeks
living in Kyrgyzstan (out of a total population of 5.4 million),
because Uzbek is closely related to Kyrgyz. BB
