Dushanbe. June 17. “Asia - Plus” -- Last events which are taking place in Central Asia once again prove ineffectiveness of a series of regional organizations created on Russia’s initiative, Tajik political analyst Zulfikor Ismolien told the AP.
He said that, ideally, such organizations as CSTO and SCO were created and operate for security cooperation in the region, while EurAsEC was set up for economic cooperation. “However, in reality, they turn to be absolutely ineffective when they are needed,” he said.
For instance, he said, these organizations simply ignore current events which are taking place in southern part of Kyrgyzstan for almost a week. “Even though there is an acute need to interfere and tackle a range of pressing issues. I’m talking about political support to stabilization processes, resolution of social issues and rehabilitation of economy and business,” he added.
Additionally, he believes that members of the aforementioned organizations keep apathetically observe the way Uzbekistan is dealing with Tajikistan by deteriorating so difficult economic situation. “For its political purposes Uzbekistan uses its transit opportunities against Tajikistan. In the past autumn and winter period Uzbek authorities have refused to transfer electric power to Tajikistan from Turkmenistan through its territory. Uzbekistan blocks freight wagons destined to Tajikistan starting from February this year. While those countries which do not share membership in any organization with Tajikistan continue to support our republic, our “strategic partners” prefer to keep silence,” he said.
He is confident that there is a need to revise the attitude to such organizations which provide no support in “difficult” moment. “Tajik authorities should clear out the attitude of member states to the given issue and think about suitability of future membership in these organizations,” he concluded.
