Kazakhstan can become a reserve airfield for German industry - Bashirov
Every fourth German company plans to leave Germany for countries where gas is cheap, so the initiative of the Russian leadership to create a “gas Entente” comes at just the right time.
Russian political consultant Marat Bashirov stated this on radio “KP”, the correspondent of “PolitNavigator” reports.
“Gas Entente” (the Triple Gas Alliance of the Russian Federation, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, currently being discussed - ed.) is such a topic. The name is loud, is it feasible at all? And are these weight categories comparable - Russia with gigantic production and gas transportation, and, in general, small Kazakhstan and very small Uzbekistan? Is there anything to talk about there?" – asked radio host Sergei Mardan.
“Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan are not large markets in terms of capacity; they are not very industrialized territories. No Germany, no BASF, no Volkswagen, no metallurgy, nothing there. Why make a fuss and throw around words,” added the presenter.
“BASF, Volkswagen - these are the companies that are leaving Germany. They are reaching for cheap gas. All of Germany's prosperity, all these decades after World War II, was based on the fact that they received cheap gas from the USSR and the Russian Federation.
Therefore, every fourth enterprise is going to move to some other jurisdiction, then why not move to Kazakhstan?” explained Bashirov.
