2022 Kazakhstan violent unrest

@ Flaming python

".......The talks between Erdogan and Putin around 1st-2nd of January which were described as agreeing to 'reboot ties' do suggest that some deals were made over Central Asia.Also the Turkish FM and Lavrov talks about the events in Kazakhstan, on which there was no disagreement.Nazarbayev has accumulated a National Fund that's equivalent in size to about 2/5ths of Kazakhstan's economyQuite possible that Tokayev will release some of that money to Erdogan to help him out with his self-inflicted inflation problems, if it turns out that the Turks did indeed provide some helpful intelligence or gave up their assets in advance......"

well if the Turkish intelligence was not involved , then it makes sense to have good relations . Turkey , same as all other countries has legitimate interests in the region . But if they were involved , then helping them ( the security state in Turkey ) is rewarding bad behaviour . Same as any outside player , who may have had a part in this .  If as you say , Kazakhstan has reserves , then surely it is more important now to spend on reconstruction and development inside own country .

Good to see Russia say , they will withdraw forces once mission complete . It seems to me that the Russians brought a sledge hammer to crack a very small nut . Even if it is said that , this was an international nut . The lessons for me on advantages of such operation were ; critical infrastructure protected by rapid reaction against foreign insurgents attacks . The disadvantage was ; getting drawn into domestic politics by mission creep .

So in the future , greater guidelines and practical measures for CSTO to demarcate own forces from local forces . And deployment of smaller and less visible units to counter foreign insurgents .

This article from Haqqin (time) is an example of the turkish, basically crapping themselves because the great turan has died with il 76 landing all over it.


Translation: The chairman of the Turan party, Jahandar Bayoglu, called for the removal of all pro-Russian officials from power in Azerbaijan. According to him, the country should take this step in order to protect itself from external influences. The politician stressed that it is necessary to take control and remove from the leadership of all pro-Russian officials, deputies and heads of public organizations. The party chairman called on the head of state to dissolve the Milli Mejlis and start new socio-economic reforms. Bayoglu believes that if the country's leadership does not take these decisive steps, then the events that are taking place in Kazakhstan may repeat in Azerbaijan. He added that pro-Russian forces have infiltrated the structures of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the State Security Service and the Ministry of Defense. The politician also called for the completion of the transition of the Azerbaijani army to the model of the Turkish army as soon as possible.



The turks are reeling from this, The great Turan went poof 2 days ago

Iliev is crawling back to Moscow, he cant let pashinyan rub Putins back this much

You fail to mention the most important aspect for Russia after stopping the coup, the intended strategic impact and the timing.

The Russians reacted for the first time in the very public, in terms of PR coverage, way they did to make a very significant point to the rest of the World, but particularly the US/NATO defence establishments, about the current capabilities of the Russian Military. Giving themselves a status boost ahead of this weeks meetings.

It is possible that in the bowels of MoD buildings all round the World comments were uttered along the lines of ' we couldn't have done that'. This operation has changed perceptions about military balance.

It seems to be clear that there are Islamists still fighting to the death. It could go on for a while but at least the local forces no longer have to worry about the more mundane activities of asset protection and have pretty immediate access to specialist forces hardened in Syria.

You could be right of course , about the Bear showing it's Claws and Fangs , now and again . The least benefit , was that it was good exercise . A CSTO rapid reaction force . The kazakhs asked for a permanent base in Baikanour . I think this idea is good , if it is small and not obvious . And I think if they decide to have a permanent base that it's location should be secret , or known only to a few , so as not to be a target . This is perfectly possible , if the force is small , say 200 to 400 . Divided into a force of 50 , in four locations around troubled areas .  In this way , special troops do not have to travel on a plane for 4 hours to get into troubled areas . They are virtually next door . And local population , do not even sense their presence , or get too upset about " invasion" by giant planes . I think given the actual or potential numbers of foreign insurgents , that this low key approach is best . Since , as you said , this problem could be On going . Once special forces deployed though , just make sure , they are identified easily as CSTO . With very specific rules of engagement . To gain confidence of population .

Since it's Almaty that is the battleground, and the islamists are secluded at that, it is only matter of time theh are dealt with. So counter terrorism operation may last a while there but rest of Kazakhstan will probably return to normal soon.

Turkey could well be behind these recent spade of terrorist attacks in Kazaksthan because Turkey Youth Foundation (TUGVA) which is run by the family of Prez Erdogan is recruiting & training youths for “covert” missions in India and Russia.

Islamil Emanet, head of TUGVA & Bilal E. (Erdogan's son) are brains behind the foundation’s ops

What???

Kazakhstan denies military laboratory was seized by rioters

After Russia claimed a possible pathogen leak occurred at controversial facility, as country's health ministry says more than 160 have been killed during protests in the country. The US-funded laboratory was reported to have fallen into protestors' hands. However, officials have denied the claims, saying the biological lab is secure. At the secretive bio-lab, the outbreak of potentially deadly diseases is studied. Russian state media highlighted claims that a pathogen had escaped at the lab. There have been over 160 reported deaths since protests broke out last week.

Its one of those conspiracy theories that seem to turn into conspiracy facts that there are US funded bio labs spread widely through the ex Soviet countries that were set up when advanced viral and bio research was banned in the US, as we now know Fauci did in Wuhan.

The Kazakh one may be one of the most advanced. If so it is surprising that it is still standing, a testament for the speed and impact of the incoming Russian forces. What they found could well be a significant lever on the US. Or it might be an urban myth, we are unlikely to ever know which unless the US plays silly buggers.

This is extremely unsettling that the U.S government is financing bio labs in Kazaksthan (and perhaps in other parts of the world).

Already they are the ones behind COVID-19.

That one cocksucker had an Indian tourist Visa, of terrorists are getting Indian visas, than India is in for a shock.

A few extra eyes in the sky

ORLAN-10. Exactly what I wanted to see in Kazakhstan.
Excellent way to monitor the situation.

The colour coup attempt was transparent but f*cked up partly because the timeline was progressing too fast
and Tokaev did not act like Yanukovich.   The so-called "democracy protestors" consisting of "ordinary people"
quickly moved to vandalized WWII memorials (in particular the Pamfilov memorial).   Funny how a protest over
LPG goes to historical revisionism.  Also, Tokaev froze LPG prices so the alleged pretext for the demonstrations
went away, but they were not about LPG prices, that was just a trigger for the regime change operation.

None of the US and British assets in Kazakhastan was damaged.  This includes cars and windows.

It is also clear that the coup was also a palace coup attempt.   Nazarbaev was associated with all sorts of
vermin and promoted criminals from the USSR period (e.g. one scumbag who committed murder in 1986)
into "national heroes" naming streets and schools after them.   Nazarbaev knew about the training militants
on Kazakh soil but the security forces he controlled ignored them.   These were being prepared for a pro
NATzO coup where Nazarbaev would come back to power in full force.  

Tokaev started to clean house in the summer of 2021.  So the game was on.

This guy pretty much predicted everything back in 2020, when the pogrom against the village of Kaskabulak took place
In Russian only unfortunately. Starts at 1:46.

So the Russia-led "NATO" equivalent (CSTO) does exactly what its official brief states? That puts NATO to complete shame, who have devolved into a US-controlled mercenary group used as Imperial Auxiliaries for murkas foreign wars of aggression.

Gratz to Putin and Russia, and of course to Kazakh president Tokayev. This is exactly how mutual-defense organisations are supposed to operate.

Maybe its CSTO that needs to "expand without limit" to all nations that want membership?

Major butthurt and depression among the panturk Twitter and Youtube space

They are mad that their guys got fucking owned.

I'm starting to think turkey was directly involved and they decided to jump other direction when their men got wasted. Trying to make it sound like it wasn't their idea at all.

Fucking turkroaches.
