Growing influence in Central Asia seeks to establish 'Islamic regimes'

May 24, 2001 - According to The Voice of Russia World Service, the official broadcasting service of the Russian government, vigilance, and possible military action, will be required to keep a new Islamic group that "heralds bloody wars" and a "territorial free-for-all" from taking control of Central Asian countries. Central Asia is strategically important because it has oil fields that are comparable to the Saudi resources.

The U.S. and NATO have been involved in Central Asia since the collapse of the USSR, seeking to increase their influence with the former Soviet republics in the region. U.S. and European petroleum corporations are also active in the area.

Kazakhstan: Prosecutor Issues Illegal Ban on Baptist Church

May 16, 2001 - Kurmangazy Abdumuratov and Askhat Alimkhanov, two young men who lead a small Baptist church in the town of Kulsary, near the Caspian Sea, have been told to stop holding services since they have not yet been registered by the state. Officials could not site a law requiring registration.

Between five and 13 people attended the church's three meetings each week, but they only had six adults with all the documents needed to register. Abdumuratov and Alimkhanov explained that even with up to 30 members it is difficult to obtain the required 10 to sign the church statute because part of the registration process requires all who sign the application to be investigated by the country's political police, the KNB, in which their employer is notified. They claim many people fear signing the statute will cost them their job.
