Cycling Central Asia

Duration: 28:52
Updated: 02 Nov 2012

Sweaty, itchy beards. Pounding 45°C desert heat. Lung-implodingly high mountain passes. Cows in lime-green Ladas. More friendly kids than an extremely enthusiastic baseball coach could high-five in the busiest of baseball seasons, and so much more vodka than even the most serious Russian alcoholic could ever hope to consume. This film is the result of months of adventure whittled down to minutes of digital moving-image-magic for your armchair entertainment. Kick back with a nice cup of tea and enjoy some snippets of our bike ride through Central Asia. Huge thanks to our friends for the fun and adventure along the way, and of course for the amazing footage! Good luck with the rest of your adventures!

Traversing near fire blazing 45 degree deserts and gasping for oxygen along the unforgiving terrain of the highway many refer to as 'The Roof of the World' with only a small backpack and hybrid bicycle was one of the most memorable experiences of my life. I have created this short documentary film to share with everyone the emotional highs, lows and beautiful scenery along with providing a glimpse into the daily lives of some of the most hospitable people I have ever met. Enjoy! 혹독하게 45도 사막에다가 숨을 쉬기 힘든 파미르 고속도로까지 중앙아시어에서 서울에서 쓰는 중고 자전거와 간단한 배낭 가방을 매고 여행을 했습니다. 평군 4000미터 지구의 지붕라는 파미르 고속도로에서 자전거를 타는 것을 제 평생중에 매우 잊을 수 없는 체험이였습니다. 여러분은 정을 솟아있는 현지인 일상 생활, 장관같은 풍경 그리고 어려움을 껵고 있는 모습이 공유합니다. 즐겁게 봤으면 좋겠습니다.

Globe Trekker - Central Asia: Uzbekistan & Kyrgyzstan with Ian Wright

Duration: 45:22
Updated: 01 Jan 2015

Traveler Ian Wright's journey begins in the smallest of these oasis towns, Khiva. Khiva is a strange time capsule in the middle of the Kara-Kum Desert. The city grew up around one small well and the old inner town with its mud streets and squares has been perfectly preserved as a museum. Ian wanders the streets and attends an Uzbek wedding. Later that evening he takes part in a wrestling contest. Ian drives to Bukhara and swims in the sacred pool in the centre of town called Lyab-i-Haus. He visits a holy Imam at the tomb of Sheikh Bakhautdin just outside Bukhara and joins some old men discussing Islamic and Soviet history. Tashkent is Ian's next destination and he arrives in time for the Independence Day celebrations. From Tashkent he flies to Bishkek, the capital of the Republic of Kyrgyzstan. Kyrgyzstan is a mountain paradise surrounded by deserts and populated mostly by nomads who were never quite tamed by the Soviet regime. Ian makes his way into the Tian Shan mountains, where he meets an eagle trainer and watches his eagle hunt a badger. He climbs to a higher plateau where some local villagers have gathered to celebrate the festival for 'Manas', a mythical folk hero. Karakol serves as a base for horse trekking, climbing and skiing expeditions to the Tian Shan mountain range. Impossibly remote, they are seldom visited, with jagged peaks stretching to 7000 meters. From Karakol, Ian hitches a ride in an old Red Army helicopter and goes heli-skiing with them. Ian travels to the remote and stunning Arshane Valley in a bumpy wagon. He goes on a horse trek and meets nomadic shepherds who live in an oval-shaped tent called a 'yurt'. On special occasion they prepare a feast called a beshparmak, where they kill and cook a sheep. They have so few Western visitors that they prepare a feast especially for Ian. Ian has to plait the intestines and cook the sheep's head in the fire. He then shares a meal with the nomads and has to eat the sheep's eye, which is offered only to the honored guest and to refuse is an insult.

How do China's concerns over the Uyghurs of Xinjiang affect its strategy in Central Asia? Arguing that China's turn to land routes to the West arise from its desire to escape from US control of sea lanes, Ben Chang suggests ways in which China's approach to former Soviet parts of Central Asia may mirror its strategy in Xinjiang. This presentation will offer insights of importance to anyone following Central Asia, China, energy, development, and western strategies in Central Asia.

Regional Connectivity in South-Central Asia

Duration: 84:52
Updated: 18 Dec 2013

Regional Connectivity in South-Central Asia The South-Central Asian region has experienced important changes in the last decade, but anxieties related to the security of post-2014 Afghanistan have obscured how growing communication links, as well as road and rail infrastructures, are transforming the way regional countries connect with Afghanistan and with each other. The growth of Afghanistan's economy, fueled by international assistance and massive reconstruction, has also benefited the region. The web of multilateral and multi-level diplomatic engagement on energy exports, trade, and transportation has created important pathways for greater regional connectivity. However, tenuous political relations among countries in the region, adverse security environments, and poor infrastructure still remain key challenges to improving this connectivity. The absence of normalized relations between India and Pakistan is the single most important barrier. Regulatory issues and fraught politics have also prevented Pakistan and Afghanistan from exploiting their full trade potential. Besides negatively impacting bilateral trade, bottlenecks in Afghanistan-Pakistan have also prevented greater regional connectivity from occurring in South-Central Asia. So far, all of the notable initiatives focused on regional connectivity have remained limited to state-to-state cooperation under various multilateral platforms. While such public sector initiatives are important, they often suffer from bureaucratic inertia and can be held hostage by the political relationships among regional states. The New America Foundation is pleased to welcome Deputy Assistant Secretary Fatema Sumar for a discussion on ways to expand regional connectivity within South-Central Asia and to increase the participation of private-sector partners and businesses within the region. Participants Fatema Z. Sumar Deputy Assistant Secretary of State, Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs Simbal Khan Carnegie Fellow, New America Foundation CEO, Indus Global Initiative Senior Research Fellow, Islamabad Policy Research Institute Moderator Moeed Yusuf Director, South Asia Programs, U.S. Institute of Peace http://newamerica.net/events/2013/regional_connectivity_in_south_central_asia

European Geostrategy in Central Asia with Dr. Stephen J. Blank

Duration: 56:59
Updated: 09 Jan 2015

Europe has key economic and security interests at stake in Central Asia, particularly in Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. What does China and Russia’s increasingly important partnerships with Central Asian countries mean for Europe’s interests in the region? Are American and European energy, security and geopolitical interests in the region aligned? Is there a case for Europe to step up its strategic dialogue with States such as India on security and energy? What happens in the post-2014 scenario in Afghanistan and how will this affect Europe’s presence in the region? Dr. Stephen J. Blank is an internationally known expert on Russia and the former Soviet Union, who comes to American Foreign Policy Council from the US Army War College where he spent the last 24 years, 1989-2013 as a Professor of National Security Studies at the Strategic Studies Institute of the US Army War College in Carlisle Barracks, PA. Dr. Blank's expertise covers the entire Russian and post-Soviet region and has also written extensively on defense strategy, arms control, information warfare, energy issues, US foreign and defense policy, European, and Asian security. This was the ninth lecture of the IES Autumn Lecture Series 2014: "The Future of European Geostrategy" jointly organised by the Institute for European Studies-VUB and the Egmont – Royal Institute for International Relations.

Relaxing Classical Music: In the Steppes of Central Asia Calm music to relax, study, sleep, work or sooth a baby combined with videos of nature. The forest and the fog. In the Steppes of Central Asia (Russian: В средней Азии, V srednyeĭ Azii, literally In Central Asia) is the common English title for a "musical tableau" (or symphonic poem) by Alexander Borodin, composed in 1880. The work was originally intended to be presented as one of several tableaux vivants to celebrate the silver anniversary of the reign of Alexander II of Russia, who had done much to expand the Russian Empire eastward. The intended production never occurred, but the work itself became, and has remained, a concert favorite ever since its first concert performance, on 8 April 1880 (Old style) in St. Petersburg by the orchestra of the Russian Opera under the conductorship of Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. The work is dedicated to Franz Liszt. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_the_Steppes_of_Central_Asia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Borodin List of compositions: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_compositions_by_Alexander_Borodin Free sheet music: http://imslp.org/wiki/In_the_Steppes_of_Central_Asia_%28Borodin,_Aleksandr%29 Recording from European Archive, courtesy musopen.org.

We mean the Scythians (and Sarmats) who came from Central Asia in the seventh century B.C., crossed the Caucasus and appeared in northern Iran and Asia Minor. Scythians may not have been Indo-European, but a mixture of nations of Central Asia, including some Turkish and Altaic elements. Their language, though remaining Iranian, carried a lot of borrowed non-Indo-European features. At the same time, we have to note that if our idea of the Scythian origin of the word *marḱ- is right, we are then dealing only with indirect contacts, maybe via Galatians, because this word was well-rooted in Celtic before Romanization and before Scythian and Sarmatic tribes moved to Europe in the second to third century A.D."source: Tatyana A.

Ecological problems of one country directly influences environment of other states. For instance, smog in China threatens the entire world, scientists say. It intensifies storms in the Pacific ocean and leads to global climatic changes. As a result, the agricultural sector suffers damages, such as reduction in yields and life stock. Moreover, all that can even provoke fires. How does the world community solve ecological problems and what role has been given to international organizations?

Қозоқча демократия

Duration: 2:59
Updated: 29 Mar 2015

Қозоқча демократия Азаттык радиоси Франциянинг Ле-Ман шаҳрида жойлашган инсон ҳуқуқларини ҳимоя қилувчи Association for Human Rights in Central Asia номлик ташкилот берган маълумотга асосланиб хабар беришича, Қозоғистоннинг Караганда област Жезказган шаҳрида жойлашган қамоқхона махбуси, Ҳизб ут-Таҳрир аъзоси Рафис Галиуллин бу партия аъзолигидан чиқишга мажбурланиб, қийноққа солинмоқда. 1970 йилда туғилган, уч фарзанднинг отаси ва Остона шаҳридан Рафис Галиуллин Қозоғистонда ман қилинган Ҳизб ут-Таҳрир аъзоси эканини яширмайди. У 2009 йил октябр ойида қамоққа олинган ва етти йил қамоқ жазосига хукм қилинган. Ҳуқуқ ҳимоячилари берган маълумотга кўра, 2014 йил 6 дан 11 чи ноябр кунлари мобайнида, Рафис Галиуллин видео камера қаршисида Ҳизб ут-Таҳрир аъзолигидан чиқишни талаб қилиниб қаттиқ калтакланган. Ҳуқуқни ҳимоя қилувчи ташкилот Рафис Галиуллиннинг соғлиги ёмонлашганлиги юзасидан қаттиқ ташвиш билдирди. “У Жезказган турмасига ўтказилгач, бир ойда 10 килога озиб кетган. Унинг кўриш қобилияти пасайиб кетган. Тишлари тўкила бошлаган. Ошқозон оғриғи тинмай безовта қилаётганига қарамай, қамоқхона маъмурияти унга тиббий ёрдам кўрсатмаяпти ва яқинлари олиб келган дори дармонларни хам унга киритмаяпти. Рафис Галиуллиннинг аёли Наталья Войтенкова 2013 йил беш йилга озодликдан махрум этилган эди. Лекин жазо муддатини тўрт ой ўтаганидан сўнг, жамоатчиликнинг қаттиқ босими остида муддатидан аввал озод қилинган эди. Наталья Войтенкова берган маълумотга кўра, унинг эри ногирон бўлиб қолган. Бир кўзи деярли кўрмаяпти. Тишлари тўкилган. Панкреатит касаллигининг оғир формаси билан оғрияпти. Бўғимлар ва белида қаттиқ оғриқ безовта қиляпти ва жуда ҳам озиб-тўзиб кетган. Наталья Войтенкова президент Нурсултон Назарбоев, республика бош прокурори, ички ишлар министри, КНБ бошлиғи, КУИС раҳбари ва бошқа расмий органларга мурожаат қилиб, эрига нисбатан қўлланаётган қийноқлар юзасидан шикоят қилган. Президент Назарбоевдан эрини қийноққа солинаётганини текшириш учун комиссия тузишни ва эрини тиббий текширувдан ўтказиб, тегишли даволаниш тадбирлари кўрилишини сўраган. Диний кўз қарашлари туфайли қийноққа солиш энг катта зулмдир. Росулуллоҳ САВнинг бир неча ҳадисларида инсоннинг инсонга қилган зулмини Аллоҳ Таоло қиёмат куни кечирмаслиги, бундай золимга Аллоҳнинг лаънати бўлиши ва Аллоҳ албатта мазлумнинг қасосини олиб бериши айтилган. Аллоҳ Азза ва Жалла “Муҳаммад” сураси 34 оятида шундай дейди: إِنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا وَصَدُّوا عَن سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ مَاتُوا وَهُمْ كُفَّارٌ فَلَن يَغْفِرَ اللَّهُ لَهُمْ Албатта куфр келтирганлар ва Аллоҳнинг йўлидан тўсган, сўнгра кофир ҳолларида ўлганларни Аллоҳ ҳеч-ҳеч мағфират қилмас.
