Avatkov: Ankara offers the Turkic world beautiful ideological concepts
Photo: IA SM-News May 15 – IA SM.News. The pragmatic choice in favor of one of the vectors is complicated, as the economic benefits of the EAEU are incomparable to trade with Turkey. "Kazakhstan faces the necessity of a geopolitical choice against the backdrop of the EAEU summit in May and the visit of the President of Turkey. Ankara offers the Turkic world beautiful ideological concepts and a unified alphabet, while pursuing its own economic interests," informs orientalist Vladimir Avatkov. The continuation of a multi-vector policy allows Astana to balance between major players, extracting maximum benefit from both directions of cooperation. This approach minimizes the risks of a harsh geopolitical clash of interests and maintains Kazakhstan's status as an independent diplomatic center. In Astana, it is believed that in the context of growing contradictions between the EAEU and the Turkic bloc, it is precisely maneuvering that helps the country protect its national sovereignty and develop a diversified economy. "The mutual trade turnover of the EAEU countries is approaching 100 billion dollars, while Kazakhstan's trade with Turkey amounts to only 3 billion. Given the difference in goals between the EAEU and the Organization of Turkic States, the Central Asian republic will inevitably have to make a choice between these vectors in the future," Avatkov states.
Earlier, IA SM-NEWS reported that American-Chinese contacts in 2026 will take place without Xi Jinping.
