One funny news I’ve found at 24.kg news agency. That is our MPs will be taught how to work with new labtops by European Union’s and UNDP’ parliament program.

So, there is planning to be a little modernization in the Jogorku Kengesh (Kyrgyz Parliament). Project experts are sure that labtops will improve voting procedure and avoid voting errors, as it was before. There will be a network of law database and MPs can easily find any legal and reference help :).

The ceremony of handing the equipment will be held in September, after the start of renewed parliament session.

Time for analyzing the results of the held Shanghai Cooperation Organization’s Summit in Bishkek has already come. Most of the people believe that the Summit was organized well and Kyrgyzstan has attained a lot of positive results. Other experts articulate the country, after the SCO summit, has got a negative image for the Western World.

Reading the Western Newspapers I have realized that people there think about the SCO as a strong alternative to the NATO. I also thought and still think so. And today I have been giving an interview for RFE/RL radio in Bishkek on this issue.

There were three persons came to the roundtable [interview with three people]: Adil Turdukulov, Young Politicians Forum’s member, someone from the pro-Government Party of Labor and Unity and the third one was me.

That guy from the party was telling that Kyrgyzstan attracted the attention of a lot of people abroad. And one of the main achievements from the Summit is the publicly announced, by PRC Chairman Hu Jintao, information about building a new road for Train which would unite Kyrgyzstan and China.

Adil’s ideas about the Summit were not clear for me. For instance he commented that It’s held very well and we need closely to colloborate with neighboring countries in the framework of SCO. “We have to refuse from Great Liberal Ideas and give a priority to short-term economic interests”, he added. In fact, that means, i think, the country could turn over the way of Democracy if either China or Russia would suggest any help.

I was telling that SCO reminds me the Warsaw Treaty Group wxisted during the time of Cold War opposed to NATO. So, it seems much more as a Military Block than a real economic cooperation union. Everything, in fact, including the Charter accepted in Bishkek was saying this organization is Anti-Nato, Anti-American.

Another thing I mentioned was about the Taiwan Issue, what about I was telling you last time. I had informed you that Kyrgyzstan has recognized Taiwan as inseparable part of China. It has happened after Uzbekistan has done the same supporting Beijing centred One-China Policy of the PRC. I think this is one of the signals Kyrgyzstan did to West, saying “we give more priority to China and Russia than you…”.

I also commented the argument of some guys about positive results of holding the Summit. I was opposing to this thesis as I see the country couldn’t even lobby it’s own ideas, as Hydro-Energy Cooperation. There is supported another idea of creating Energy Club under the SCO, which covers just oil and gas what Kyrgyzstan does not have. This means that Kyrgyzstan and tajikistan, both are rich of hyrdo-energy potential, are too week to lobby their own visions at the Great Shanghai Organization.

Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit will be held after 3 days. There are different expectations from this summit. People, who believe in democratic ideas here, are fear lest that this event will be historical, as mentioned Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in his speech.

We also notice there will be a lot of “big” guests, most of them represent authoritative countries, such as Russia, China, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Iran and etc.

Most of the people are looking for the raising of the issue of the U.S. airbase at the SCO summit. Actually SCO summit imagines the meeting of the anti-american ”big” people. 

The list of participants at SCO Bishkek Summit was published for public several days ago:

President of the Kazakh Republic Nursultan Abishevich Nazarbaev;

President of the People’s Republic of China Hu Jintao;

About agenda of the summit: The 1st point of the SCO summit agenda is strengthening of further cooperation between the member countries of the Shanhai Cooperation Organization.  The 2nd is opinion exchange on actual world and regional problems. The 3rd point is discussing the present SCO’s chair-country and possible time and place of the Organization’s summit next year. The 4th point is signing the papers.

Do you see any difference? It is nice, that there has been Clinton, who might be a “First Gentleman” of the USA, if Hillary wins :). And there were sitting Vaclav Havel and Vaclav Klauss.

Actually I do not publish a lot about myself. I do my focus on current kyrgyzstan issues. I am going to proceed that after my coming to Bishkek. Today is my flight to Istanbul, then the next day to my KG!!!
