Weekly: Staying In Russia Unprofitable For Tatarstan |
Weekly: Staying In Russia Unprofitable For Tatarstan
"Zvezda povolzhya" Editor in Chief Reshid Ekhmetov wrote in an
editorial published on 22 September that rising global oil prices make
it fiscally irresponsible for Tatarstan to remain in the Russian
Federation. Ekhmetov calculated that Tatarstan pays Russia $8 billion
of the $12 billion it earns each year from oil production, describing
the situation as "neocolonialism." Ekhmetov noted that the entire
five-year federal program on preparations for the Kazan millennium cost
$1 billion, and he speculated that if Tatarstan were to reduce its
annual payouts to Russia by that amount every year it could pump that
money into its infrastructure and new building and hold such
celebrations every year. Ekhmetov predicted that Moscow will seek to
take over Tatneft to deprive the republic of an economic basis for
sovereignty.
