American bone on the island of the ghosts

Zbigniew Brzezinski: In the beginning of the third millennium, Central Asia will become the second Balkans.

It is now already clear that bombardment of Americans in Afghanistan will not achieve the required targets. In the course of prolongation of the so-called «anti-terrorist operation», more and more are revealed the concealed objectives of the incendiaries of this war.

Three years back Zbigniew Brzezinski, former assistant to President Jimmy Carter on the national security in 1977-1981, one of leading Scholar of Soviet affairs, still then foretold end of the red empire, in the interview on Radio Liberty and said that in the beginning of the third millennium, Central Asia will become the second Balkans. But no one, including perhaps, himself Mr. Brzezinski, then did not think that initiator of this «Balkanization» will become USA itself.

And here, simultaneously with the escalation of military actions in Afghanistan, USA threw the bone of discord between two Central-Asian countries: for its newly created strategic ally Uzbekistan, USA allocated 6 millions for performing of disinfections work on the island of Revival in the Aral Sea.

All is nothing: this island actually needs sterilization, since it is the dump of fatal bacteria, including downright of the spores of anthrax frightened USA - in the Soviet times, here worked the polygon on testing of bacteriological weaponry. But the fact is that the island of Revival, softly saying, never belonged to Uzbekistan.

USA proceeds from the fact that Kazakhstan manifests a certain weakness in its foreign policy, provoking the presentation of various territorial claims to it. Thus, for example, in 1998 Kazakhstan handed over about 500 square kilometers of its territory to China, thus after creating the precedent of the readiness of the concessions «of questionable territories» under the pressure of force. The present authorities of Uzbekistan try to use this weakness and arbitrarily are placed boundary signs in the territory of Kazakhstan. So in the near-boundary of Saryagach region of Kazakhstan - Kazakh settlement Of Bagys was about to go away to Uzbekistan. Dispute in relation with this populated area is not yet finished. There were even injured from the bullets of Uzbek frontier-guards.

The same policy follows the regime of Islam Karimov with respect to Kyrgyzstan also.

USA, certainly, knows that the island of Revival belongs to Kazakhstan. But they know also that near this island is located the promising   petroleum deposit, whose reserves compose ten, if not hundreds of millions of tons of oil. And, therefore, they isolated money to Uzbekistan, even without having calculated by necessary to place in the reputation about this the government of Kazakhstan.

Calculation is simple as the color of the American dollar: if Kazakhstan silently swallows this offence, as there was the matter concerning China, then American petroleum companies will begin to work on this island; but it can become so that the Kazakhs without the battle will not step back themselves from their island, on which ferment the specters of their innocently ruined ancestors. And then USA, after scouring between them these states, will assume the role of the arbitrator and will attempt to impose their orders by force. Large oil was and remains rate in this large game.

However, so that is the island revival, which with the aid of USA does become now the apple of discord?

Immediately after the end of the Second World War, the Soviet regime   carried out on this five-kopeck coin the terrifying experiments above the living people, about which was told recently by almost single survival among living witness of those days - former nurse Raushan Zhalgasov.

Speaking in one of the broadcasting of Kazakh TV, she described about the fact that in 1946, she, 19 years old nurse was called from Almata, and she was compelled to work on that ill-fated island. Subscription about the nondisclosure of state mystery was taken from her. Mystery consisted in the fact that she on the order of doctors from Moscow, injected the spores of bacteria to experimental people, and they died. Then anatomical pathologists revealed corpses and determined the reasons for death.

I give medicines or do injection, she tells viewers, and I in the morning see that they all are dead. And the dead were adult men, woman and children.

Her voice shakes. The old man, who stands near her, he indicates that the families of Aral fishermen- Kazakhs were the victims. The television operators show evidence and mark, which the Moscow servicemen awarded her for that terrible work.

When we say that conflicts in the Balkans, in comparison with the war in Central Asia, they can seem children's games, we imply following aspect: extensive territory to the south of Aral sea on the delta of Amu-Darya belong exactly not to Uzbeks, but to the Karakalpaks, who enter into the composition of Uzbekistan as Karakalpak autonomous republic. This small nation in the ethnic plan is almost identical to Kazakhs. It was established at the dawn of the Soviet regime between Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan and its boundaries were determined by exceptionally subjective voluntary methods. From the moment of formation in 1920 of Kazakh ASSR, administrative boundaries of the republic repeatedly were again cut due to connection and disconnection of its territories. Karakalpakiya hardly did not enter then into the composition of Kazakhstan.

At present in Karakalpakia is predominating anti-Tashkent regime. Karakalpaks want to leave the composition of Karimov Uzbekistan. To this contribute both totalitarian pressing of the dictatorial authority of Islam Karimov and recently proven rich petroleum reserving of Aral lowland. It suffices someone to fan these relations and then Uzbekistan can obtain its own Chechnya. And it is necessary for a long time to forget about the stability in Central Asia.

Uzbeks, Kazakhs and Karakalpaks since ancient times live in the proximity and actually could solve their problems without the wars. But this, in all likelihood, it does not enter into the plans of the strong of the world. And here already USA, which rigidly criticized until recently Uzbek authorities for the pursuit of their own citizens, suddenly concludes union with this frankly anti-democratic on the form and terrorist in the essence of regime.

However, they practice of the dual standard of USA since old times, and to be surprised at this is not necessary. The authorities of USA simply pragmatically follow their interests. After taking upon itself responsibility for war in Afghanistan, USA de facto demonstrated their unwillingness to consider UN the volitional solution of USA crossed the prevailing political realities. But Bush's slogan: Who is not with us, he is against us, demonstrated to the entire world, that the so-called democratic values act only to that moment, until they serve the interests strictly of those states, which under the cover of this slogan attain their completely specific interests.
