...In terms of Central Asian integration, the period of Soviet Union power in this territory is extremely important. The Soviet administration was the most important governing body for more than 70 years (1918-1991). The boundaries of modern independent states was clearly identified in this period. The composition of the economic regions of the USSR changed in line with the objectives of improving the management and planning of the economy in order to accelerate and improve the efficiency of social production. It means that the economy of one particular division was narrow directed. For instance, Uzbekistan became the main supplier of cotton in the region. It leaded to the reformation of the irrigation system of Central Asia and great expansion of irrigation canals. As a consequence of short-sighted politics in relations of water, the Aral Sea had experienced numbers of serious problems that are not resolved even till now . Kazakhstan also became a victim of politically repressive Soviet regime with its flour specialization. The economies was severely affected by the collapse of the Soviet Union and the resulting loss of their vast market. However, the Soviet period has also some advantages in the life of Central Asian countries. The realization of the road and railway infrastructure project started its existence when five states were the parts of the USSR. In spite of the fact that the ethnic diversity was disregarded during the Soviet period, the education had big importance...

...Sjdddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd Hizb-ut-Tahrir first appeared in Kazakhstan in the south in the 1990s. Beibut Saparaly, a cleric at the Astana-based Kaganat religious education center, said in March 2005 that the "idea to create a caliphate is supported by many youth. Some years ago, we heard that [Hizb ut-Tahrir] had support in Shymkent and in Pavlodar. But lately, particularly after Qurban-Ayt, we learned that [Hizb ut-Tahrir] leaflets had been distributed in all mosques in the southern capital of Almaty."[7] Kazakh police have arrested HuT members in southern Kazakhstan for several years, but the first arrests of members in northern Kazakhstan were in 2004.[14] Novoye Pokoleniye has attributed the popularity of Hizb-ut-Tahrir to the social and economic conditions of the populace. One journalist wrote that illiteracy, poverty, and the "proximity of trouble spots allow various types of 'teachers' to act very freely there." Additionally, as "one head cell is cut off," it is "replaced by several new ones."[17] The Kazakh government found the first Hizb-ut-Tahrir cell in Kentai in 2000. The HuT presence in Kazakhstan then spread in the country, primarily in southern Kazakhstan.[18] Rashid Tusupbekov, the Prosecutor General, asked the Supreme Court to add Hizb ut-Tahrir to the list of banned terrorist organizations on 17 March 2005, citing its ties to Al-Qaeda and the Taliban.[19] Police arrested Kuanysh Bekzhanov, a 20-year...

In this work apart from the general integral summery of each of the sectors needed to study, also the history and specific features of the relationship between the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Republic of Uzbekistan are presented to fully understand the competitive advantages and to adequately assess the risks of doing business in the Republic of Uzbekistan. As of today, the relationships between the Republics are legally regulated. The main document regulating the relations between the two states is the Treaty on Eternal Friendship between the Republic of Uzbekistan and the Republic of Kazakhstan dated 31 October 1998.Juridical base of cooperation between the two countries is composed by 116 interstate, intergovernmental and interdepartmental documents, which cover almost all spheres of life. Only in trade and economic cooperation 68 documents are signed, including agreements of free trade, promotion and reciprocal protection of investments, avoidance of double taxation, etc. Economics Despite a significant decline in the share of agriculture in GDP - from 37% in 1991 to about 18% in 2009, this sector continues to play...

...The Aral Sea is actually not a sea at all. It is an immense lake, a body of fresh water, although that particular description of its contents might now be more a figure of speech than practical fact. In the last 30 years, more than 60 percent of the lake has disappeared. The sequence of images above, acquired by Landsat satellites, shows the dramatic changes to the Aral Sea between 1973 and 2000. Beginning in the 1960s, farmers and state offices in Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, and Central Asian states opened significant diversions from the rivers that supply water to the lake, thus siphoning off millions of gallons to irrigate cotton fields and rice paddies. As recently as 1965, the Aral Sea received about 50 cubic kilometers of fresh water per year—a number that fell to zero by the early 1980s. Consequently, concentrations of salts and minerals began to rise in the shrinking body of water. That change in chemistry has led to staggering alterations in the lake's ecology, causing precipitous drops in the Aral Sea’s fish population. The Aral Sea supported a thriving commercial fishing industry employing roughly 60,000 people in the early 1960s. By 1977, the fish harvest was reduced by 75 percent, and by the early 1980s the commercial fishing industry had been eliminated. The shrinking Aral Sea has also had a noticeable affect on the region's climate. The growing season there is now shorter, causing many farmers to switch from cotton to rice, which demands even more diverted water. ...

...Taking Away the Nation’s Existence (Ahiska-Meskhetian Turks) Ahiska Turks are Meskhetians from Southwestern Georgia. The village they lived in was called Ahiska. In 1944, Ahiskans were deported to different places by Joseph Stalin. Stalin took away the Ahiskan nation’s existence by sending, “Soviet troops [who] descended on Ahiska, Georgia along the border with Turkey on Nov. 14, 1944” as Khalil Chakhalidze remembers (Doug Page). Even though the Ahiskans were transported to many different places before they came to America, many settled in Dayton, Ohio. In my research Problem/Solution Paper, I will educate my reader about the refugee-status, the challenges Ahiskans had in finding a new home, while at the same time parents and their elders desire to move back to their original homeland, which was taken from them, perhaps never to be seen again. The primary focus of my paper will be on a solution, pertaining to the reasons the nation’s existence has been taken from Ahiska (Meskhetian) Turks. This created a major relocation problem, because of much discrimination against them. Opponents, people who come out against immigrants think that they are a drag on the economy, the community, etc. “But it’s been proven time and again that they help the economy. More people working means more jobs and a stronger economy. Which means more jobs for everybody,” said City Commissioner Matt Joseph (Page). Land Originally, Ahiska Turks were Meskhetians from Southwestern Georgia, formally...

...nutrition for centuries. But since the time when Uzbekistan was under the control of the Russian government – the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, also known as USSR and the Soviet Union – the region has experienced many difficulties. The Aral Sea was once the fourth largest lake in the world, but it has shrunk in tremendous proportions causing many effects such as pollution, temperature fluctuations, and disease. In this paper, six of the nine thematic concepts of geography are examined in Uzbekistan, and specifically in the region around the Aral Sea, Karakalpakstan. The topics covered are society, politics, environment, economy, culture, and history. History The history and story of Uzbekistan is an essential part of Central Asian development. Until the mid-1920s, the region of Uzbekistan and its neighboring countries was called Turkestan. After the campaigns of Alexander the Great during the 330-320s BC, Uzbekistan (then Turkestan) became a major trade center because of its location and the emergence of the Silk Road. In the 900s, Turkestan became deeply rooted in the Muslim religion. In the second half of the 19th century the Russian empire had conquered much of the region. Cotton became a major crop in both rural and urbanized areas. But many people were dissatisfied with the Russian rule and revolted. By 1916,rebellions – both large and small – began, scattered across the region. The modern country of Uzbekistan was born in 1924, mainly to divide the countries...

...country that evolved from all three of these. As a former nation of the Soviet Union, and being a neighbor to Russia, there is a large makeup of Russian people within Kazakhstan. In fact over two million people living in Kazakhstan are originally from Russia. This, of course, makes sense. As the collapse of the Soviet Union left people without jobs and income, they had to go elsewhere in order to try to make a living and with Kazakhstan, a nation that would now be developing, being so close it made sense for them to emigrate from Russia into Kazakhstan. Even though Russian is the largest demographic of immigrants in Kazakhstan, the country has a wide variety immigrants from other countries as well. Countries such as Germany, Ukraine and Uzbekistan make up three of the largest demographics in Kazakhstan (World Migration, 2015). Kazakhstan, even with its vast demographic is still well unpopulated. As seen in a 2009 census, the population was only at 16.4 million (Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor, 2010). Considering that Kazakhstan is roughly over one million square feet, this does prove to be a slight issue. Could there, however, be a reason for this? Could the Kazakh government be to blame? According to minority rights, people...

...Although it is true they reside in the same continent, the Uzbeks and Tajiks have very different, yet in some ways similar styles of marriage and culture. I am writing an essay about the Uzbeks and Tajiks, of the former Soviet Union. We will take a look at these two cultures and compare the difference as well as similarities of these tribes of people. The comparison these two culture have in common is they were both part of the Soviet Union until it collapsed in 1991. The Tajiks are an Indo- European people who family settled near the Amu River which is now present-day Uzbekistan. During the end of the nineteenth century, the Tajiks were divided. The Majority of the population occupied what would become the republic of Tajikistan in the former Soviet Union. The rest are living as the large minority in Afghanistan which is to the south of Uzbekistan. The Uzbek homeland is situated on the site of the ancient Bactrian and Sogdian civilizations is where most Uzbeks have been settled for more than three hundred years to the region in which they live. Although these two culture are not part of the Soviet Union there have been drastic changes to all aspects of Central Asian societies. The Uzbekistan's landscape consists of deserts, dry plains, and fertile oases near rivers with the Aral Sea being a vital resource of their water resources to their agriculture need. The Aral Sea has lost up to sixty present of its water due to the agriculture usage. The Tajikistan landscape consist of...

After his graduation, I invited him to work for the department of Foreign Investment of Chamber of commerce and industry of Uzbekistan which I managed in that period. As a specialist Mr. Mirzaev could show himself a very talented individual, promising young leader with strong analytical skills and leadership potential. Especially, working in the sphere of business development, export promotion and investment attraction has enabled him to become a good specialist in these spheres. In the process of his job I regularly read the analytical reports prepared by him and I should mention that no matter what he prepared (reports, statements, feedbacks, etc.) he always completed assignments with great responsibility and they appeared to be logically arranged, coherent and easy to follow. The same concerns were with his public speaking skills where he impressed people with his assertiveness and resourcefulness. To sum up, once again I would like to reiterate my strong support for Mr. Shakhzod Mirzaev’s candidacy and urge you to support it. Should you have any questions, please contact.
