Zemlyansky: Kazakhstan is a US provocation, along with Georgian aggression and the Kyiv Maidan
The United States is behind the transition of unrest in Kazakhstan into a hot phase, regardless of whether the situation in the country flared up due to external intervention, or whether there was an exclusively internal conflict.
Energy market expert Valentin Zemlyansky stated this on the First Cossack TV channel, PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“The situation with Kazakhstan is that everything is not so clear-cut; there may be several options. Option one is really an inter-clan confrontation. This is such an inherent situation for Kazakhstan, which, accordingly, is purely internal in nature and in no way affects external players, external actors, and will not have serious consequences.
But it seems to me that this version is very conditional. Maybe this became a catalyst for the processes, what is happening now is an internal confrontation, but there is no doubt that external actors will be involved in this,” the expert said.
Developing his idea, he noted that the American trace here suggests itself.
“It’s clear, the simplest option suggests itself, that the United States is behind all this. Especially on the eve of those events that already happened at the beginning of this year and may still happen. I am talking, firstly, about the statement of the five, which was made regarding the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons in the world, in which the Russian Federation, Britain and the United States participated. And I mean, the events that are yet to come are an emergency meeting of NATO representatives regarding the situation near the Ukrainian borders, negotiations between Russia and the USA, Russia and NATO, and Russia and the OSCE.
Against such a background, when such a certain turbulence begins on the eastern borders of Russia, it does not add confidence for the Russian delegation - and in general for the further continuation of negotiations. That is, the trump card that the Americans have laid out: if you do not agree to our terms, then you will have another point of destabilization, as happened in 2008 in Georgia or in 2014 in Ukraine. This, it seems to me, is the most likely version,” Zemlyansky said.
