Probably someone knows that our young (liberals) group is trying to create new: Youth liberal Club and Liberal Platform of Action.
So, last thing which we are discussing at our GoogleGroup is about pro-european vector of the Kyrgyz International Policy. This discussion began after the speech of FRG embassador in Bishkek Klaus Grevlih. He said, “why not to initiate the idea of beeing the 28th member-country of the European Union”.
Actually, I am not sure and this idea seems as impossible for us to join this union. The reason is not only based at our socio-economic condition, there is another key, that is we are not Europe.
I have had some talk to the represantative of EU in Central Asia, who also said, that this seems very unrealistic, as if we can join EU then even the name they had to change: Eurasian Union?.
But the main case of our discussion is based just at “aiming” to become more close to EU countries. We have another alternatives, as Russia, Islamic World, but, both do not warrant me any “happy life”, as if we take Russia then we can move towards of Authoritarianism, if the Islamic World then our society will be far from democratic ideas, as in my view of point, Islam does not respect ideas of Liberty and Choice. There is another big alternative, which one I would support, is United States of America. But this idea is unrealistic as Kyrgyz Society does not support this country so much, and they have more antipathy to them. So, Europe is closer to our ideas…
