Attendants of the Congress of Political Analysts of Almaty hailed the publication of 'Vestnik Kavkaza and Central Asia' yesterday. Andrey Kazantsev, Director of the analytical center of the Institute for International Studies of MGIMO, said that there was no media source to unite experts and political analysts of the Caucasus and Central Asia.
He noted that collapse of the USSR had been followed by political and economic disintegration and the separation of experts and political analysts. Specialists of Russia, the South Caucasus and Central Asia were parted. Kazantsev added that it was easier to meet Kazakh or Uzbek experts in Germany than Russia because no platforms on the post-Soviet space were formed.
Eduard Poletayev, a political analyst from Kazakhstan, called it “quite a good” idea. He added that a magazine called ‘Central Asia and the Caucasus’ was published even in Sweden. Poletayev admitted that contacts between regions, experts, journalists would help develop science and socio-political life. He believes that they need to know about the events beyond the Caspian Sea.
Alexander Skakov, coordinator of the working group of the Institute for Central Asia and the Caucasus of the Institute for Oriental Studies of the RAS, is positive about the formation of 'Vestnik Kavkaza and Central Asia'.
