The foreign ministries of Georgia and Kazakhstan held consultations in
Tbilisi. During the meeting the necessity to deepen bilateral
relations, namely in terms of intensification of economic relations,
was underscored. The Georgian MFA stated that during the meeting the
Kazakh side expressed support to the sovereignty and territorial
integrity of Georgia.
In fact, Kazakhstan has confirmed that it is not going to support the
membership of Abkhazia and South Ossetia to the Eurasian Union. Note
that the leadership of Abkhazia has appealed to Nazarbayev to
recognize its independence and join the Eurasian Union. Furthermore,
Kazakhstan is demonstratively establishing economic relations with
Georgia while Russia wants to repeal the free trade regime with
Georgia.
Recently Putin has "praised" Nazarbayev that he has created a Kazakh
state. Putin hinted that Kazakhstan has been allowed to set up a state
in the territory of the Russian imperial space, and "permission" may
be repealed at any moment. Yesterday Russia launched military training
at the border of Kazakhstan.
Today one of the Belorussian newspapers has published an article
entitled "When Lukashenko and Nazarbayev overcome Putin's dictate".
The article states that the Eurasian Union may collapse soon not
because of Putin's ambitions but also because Moscow wants to involve
Armenia in the Eurasian Union, i.e. Karabakh as well against which
Astana speaks, the newspaper wrote.
Kazakhstan which supports Georgia's territorial integrity will insist
on Azerbaijan's territorial integrity. This means that during the
EEU's summit on October 10 Astana may again block the membership of
Armenia, putting forth claims relating to Karabakh.
