Poland of Asia: 'Kazakhstan'

After watching the events in Kazakhstan closely, one by one, I think it is much better understood how Turkey turned on the night of July 15, 2016. At that time, the series of motivated and injected events to which Turkey was exposed took place almost like a replica of the events in Kazakhstan. The biggest factor in the failure of the coup plotters in Turkey is the democracy experience of the Turkish people. Over time, the nation, which learned to have an individual and democracy from servitude, took to the streets as one heart and stood against the coup plotters. He saw it as a movement against popular sovereignty. Because the owner of sovereignty is unconditionally the nation itself. As a result of the coup attempt and the nation's democracy watch in the squares, democracy was further consolidated and consolidated.

While I was wandering in the geography of "Turkestan-i East", as my father said, where I went all the way to the downstream of the "Amuderya and Sirderya", in other words "Ceyhun-Seyhun" Rivers, in the spring of 2019, six months before the global epidemic, my attention was always on the plains of Turkistan, where horses and camels roamed. I said why? I could understand the conditions under which the Turks had migrated to the west, leaving behind these beautiful lands, due to the changing geographical conditions with the drying up of the "Issyk Sea", an inland sea. With the withdrawal of the Issyk-Kan, the migration to the west accelerated. Central Asia was no longer a place large enough to feed a large population in the heartland of the earth. But…
Actually, the question I should have asked was this. More recently, why did they feel the need to extend the reigns of Genghis Khan and Timur from the Pacific to the Atlantic? Timur's center of force and the place where his state was based was Transoxiana. This is the land between Amuderya and Sirderya (Ceyhun and Seyhun). (1)

The answer to the question was simple, to establish and maintain the reign of the world. It was nothing but oppressing and melting the enemies they marginalized and the centers that used or could use force in the future, regardless of religion or nationality, and by not shying away from all kinds of measures and orders to achieve their goals. In the meantime, we should not forget the spying and espionage of the Papacy against the Anatolian Turks who organized the Crusades and their skills in making them use them against the Turks. Another important finding is that the states they founded after them could not last long. For example, the Timurid State, which was founded in 1370, was destroyed in 1507. (2)

He only lived 137 years. However, the Ottoman Empire, which was one of the five most important empires that ruled for the longest period in history, continued its rule for more than 600 years, rather than the Abbasid Empire, which ruled the longest among the Islamic states.

The ancients continued to call Turkey 'Turkey' during their lifetime, just like 'Slovakia, Poland, Spain'. Why? Because they first perceived states as cultural unity. They looked at the suffix "-ya" at the end of these states as countries that completed cultural nationalism and established their unity. Political Scientist Prof. Dr. As Ernest Renan expressed in the famous Sorbonne Conference in 1881, it is an understanding that is independent of ethnicity, race, language, religion and accepts that people are only an individual of the society they feel they belong to. For Renan, the only criterion of being a nation is meeting on a common ground. What creates the nation is “to have suffered together, rejoiced and hoped together”. According to Renan, they thought of the nation as a unity of subjective values, as a community of people who have a common past and desire to live together in the future.

The ancients also disdained geographical unity in terms of cultural identity. While describing those geographies, they preferred to end the names of those countries with the suffix "-stan", even if their names were pronounced with "-ya" in the international community. As in our Turkish, such as India (India), Bulgaria (Bulgaria) and Armenia (Armenia). As artificial nation-states, they persistently presented these places as countries that could not establish their national unity yet. They also did not like Stalin, who created artificial states that were alienated from each other in the entire Turkestan geography in 1935, called Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan, who destroyed East Turkestan with artificial place names. The Russian population and the nomadic Turks, who immigrated to these republics, mostly Kazakhstan, could not digest their assimilation. I am a witness to this. Immigrants from East Turkestan, Crimea and Kazan were called Tatars without exception, in my country.

Since the Tsarist Russia, it has been brutally applied in these derelict geographies. The policy of forced Russification was a barbaric policy based on the oppression of the Muscovites in these republics. In fact, the legacy that the Russian Federation inherited from "Tsarist Russia" is to create a "nationless country" by eliminating the national consciousness in the lands it expanded. Later, it was to immigrate Russian cognates to that geography and to raise them to the status of a core state in the geographies they were in. The Russian language has been effective in the nomadic people who have not been able to fully establish their cultural identity under the pressure of Russian culture. It is regrettable to express that the Turkish language is a rural language among Kazakh Turks, while in the cities it has been a language of maganda. According to the belief of Kazakh Turks, Russia is everything to them. Speaking Russian is a sign of civilization. Knowing and speaking Russian is almost at the level of the spoken language in heaven. As it is known, the current representative of this policy is a typical Russian nationalist, the last 'Tsar Putin'. Let's also note that the word "tsar" has its meaning in almost all languages ​​as "tyrant" and "despot". Against the opposition he has shown to the movement, Putin has been highly critical of his namesake Vladimir Ilyich Lenin for his egalitarian side. Putin's main criticism of Lenin is because he established a federal state, defended the equality of all nations, and reserved the right to leave the federation for all nations. In fact, Putin went even further and took the beans out of his mouth at a panel held in Stavropol and said that Lenin had placed a time bomb under Russia. (3)

Let's open the curtain from this point of view, shall we? This perspective is directly Stalin's Great Russian Chauvinism. Lenin put up a great struggle against the prejudices of Russian chauvinism, unfortunately, even infiltrating the ranks of the Bolshevik Party. Even in the hospital bed. If, at the end of 1922, the Soviet State was founded as a workers' state, which did not bear the name of any nation ("Union of Soviet Socialist Republics", USSR), wholly in line with the requirements of the internationalist ideology of the proletariat, it was a product of Lenin's determined struggle from his sickbed against the Russian nationalists within the party. His struggle was against a state model that gave the name of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic, that is, the political unit that would only cover Russia in the USSR, to the entire Soviet state, thus elevating the Russian nation to the position of sovereign nation and placing it in a position superior to them. The representative of this view, which Lenin is fighting today, is Putin. It is Putin's concept of carrying this view to the future, who will stay in power alone until 2036, which makes this view fiercely dominant in the Caucasus, Crimea, Donbas and Central Asia.

Undoubtedly, among the Turkestan Republics, the state that was claimed to have suffered the most from assimilation policies was the Republic of Kazakhstan. As the ninth largest country in the world with an area of ​​2 million 724 thousand 900 square kilometers, Kazakhstan, which has huge lands, is a young republic with the largest land border between Russia and China, just like Poland between Germany and Russia. Just as Poland was divided between two expansionist states, Germany and Russia, and was forced to experience war, blood and tears unwillingly, there are concerns and concerns that Kazakhstan may face similar phenomena. Kazakhstan has a border of approximately 7 thousand kilometers with Russia. Considering the 711 km border between Turkey and Syria, it has 10 times the size. Kazakhstan, which has very important commercial relations with Russia, which has a significant border trade due to its long border, carries out a large part of its exports to abroad through Russia. It is also important to remember that Russia's Baikonur Cosmodrome is located in Kazakhstan. For this reason, I have to say that Russia will not leave the former Soviet country Kazakhstan blank.

After the EU (D) withdrawal from the region, which could not achieve the RF-Chinese cooperation through Afghanistan, it mobilized the predecessor elements in the region through Saudi Arabia and the UAE, through the CIA, in accordance with the "Green Belt Theory". For this reason, the demonstrations that were secretly organized by the CIA broke out in the regions where oil and natural gas reserves were located and gained intensity. The country's connection with the outside world was cut off in an instant. In fact, the next movements are to test the resistance reflex of the region in terms of creating a ground.

When Kazakhstan realized that it could not overcome these events with its own security forces, it applied to the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), which includes Russia, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Tajikistan and Armenia. The organization, which did not take into account the application of the former Kyrgyzstan and Armenia in the Karabakh War, interestingly decided to intervene in Kyrgyzstan during the time of its chairman, Armenian Prime Minister Pashinyan. Armenians from CSTO member states Russia and Kyrgyzstan have agreed to send physical troops to Kazakhstan. Prime Minister Pashinyan brought the Armenian armed forces to the fore and said with great pleasure, "We are going to Kazakhstan to defend it within the scope of the Collective Security Organization and as a peacekeeping force." In addition, Pashinyan stated that threats to Kazakhstan's national security and sovereignty, including foreign intervention, were taken into consideration, and said, "In accordance with Article 4 of the CSTO's Collective Security Agreement, the CSTO's collective peacekeeping force is limited in order to normalize and stabilize the situation in Kazakhstan. decided to send him to this country for a while.” used expressions. (4)

The Russian Armed Forces, commanded by the world-famous strategist Gerasimov, Chief of the General Staff, is the continuation of the Red Army. For this reason, the name of the Russian Army in Central Asia is the 'Red Army'. In an environment where other countries have just established their armies and they do not have enough experience, Russia has been and is actively involved due to the CSTO agreement. In such cases, for some reason, Russia always intervenes. What Russia did in Eastern Europe during the Cold War, it now continues to do as a summoned force in Central Asia.
Another question that comes to mind is whether Turkey can take a role in Kazakhstan. Let's not forget that the RF has been giving the signal to intervene in Kazakhstan, especially for the last two years, by talking about the size of Kazakhstan's land and the Russian population it contains. In the meantime, he declared on every occasion that the RF was uncomfortable with the newly announced organization of "Turkish States Organization", which is a belated effort organization.

Another question is, can the Organization of Turkish States be a solution to this situation? I think no it can't be. In the context of the Organization of the Turkish States, Turkey had to show that it could do nothing but advise Kazakhstan with restraint and, as a non-governmental organization, advise its cognates to act with their teens. The fact that the first statement of Aksakallar President Binali Yıldırım in the Organization of Turkish States is "natural members of the Organization of Turkish States in China and Russia" confirms our argument. Let's not forget, the distance between Kazakhstan and Turkey, which is located very far from Turkey in terms of geography. It is about four thousand kilometers long. Undoubtedly, it is considered necessary to provide a strong will, independent, strong and institutional, with a strong infrastructure, strong economy and market, security organizations, rather than such recommendations. and there is nothing it can do according to international law with its systematic and international law. According to international law, it is thought that it can be taken into account when the "Organization" and Turkey have a card with a value. In the Turkish World, the word "Organization" does not mean much like the word "Republic". When I say 'Republic of Turkey' after the Union's disintegration, they are Russia. They were going to correct me by saying "State of Turkey" like their son. However, when all the events in Kazakhstan are evaluated in its entirety, it must be expressed with regret that it has created a historical breaking point for the Turkish world. All these experiences, in order to test Kazakhstan's reflex of resistance in a sense, caused this organization to suffer a great blow during its establishment.

As a result, the intervention of the RF, which is skilled in reading the events correctly, in Kazakhstan within the scope of the CSTO should be seen as a move against the EU(D) move in Ukraine. In other words, just like in the cold war period, it should be considered as a counter move of the RF towards the activities of the EU (D) to surround Russia in Kazakhstan and other Turkic Republics through NATO and Turkey. In this case, as an inference, it is our wish, dear readers, that the "Organization of Turkish States" will evolve into a "Union of Turkish States" while being reorganized as a strong structure.
