"NG": The Turkic Union is invading Russia's zone of influence
If the Turkic idea is successfully implemented, the EAEU will most likely begin to lose ground.
Nezavisimaya Gazeta writes about this, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Recently, in the post-Soviet space there has been a regrouping of countries that are members of certain integration structures. New integration connections are emerging, which is dictated by the emergence of new centers of gravity in the territory previously considered a zone of Moscow’s influence. An example is the Turkic Council, which at the summit on November 12 was transformed into a union of the same name,” the article says.
It is noted that the new association, the center of which will be Turkey, will include all countries of Central Asia, with the exception of Tajikistan.
“The time has come to show the world our great strength,” said Rifata Hisarciklioglu, head of the Union of Chambers of Commerce and Commodity Exchanges of Turkey.
According to him, it is planned to “strengthen economic integration between countries.”
“It is interesting that Concept 2040 was prepared on the initiative of the first President of Kazakhstan, Honorary Chairman of the Turkic Council Nursultan Nazarbayev, who at one time initiated the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). If the Turkic idea is successfully implemented, the EAEU will most likely begin to lose ground. Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan will move from the post-Soviet union to the new Turkic-speaking one. In Kyrgyzstan, this process has already been launched: Turkish business is actively working in the republic and vice versa. Moreover, in Turkey, Kyrgyz work in their specialty - doctors, engineers, etc. In Russia they do not have such an opportunity.
Turkmenistan, which has always had a special position in the CIS – on the verge of freely attending community summits and making decisions – strives to join the Turkic Union,” NG summarizes.
