No tag for this post.

First of all, check the preliminary neweurasia site. Ollie has now installed a new CMS for the site that will go online in November. Quite a lot of things remain to do.

Quite a few things happening in the neweurasia blogosphere over the second half of the week:

uzbekistan.neweurasia.net
The leader of Sunshine Uzbekistan was arrested in Tashkent. Ali and Ben have the details.

Olesya gives sanctions against Uzbekistan a closer look. She says that the EU would only be true to its rhetorics if it imposed more sanctions on the Central Asian state. Nathan over at the Registan shows what falls under the current regulations.

turkmenistan.neweurasia.net
First off, welcome Peter to the team! He has started posting over last week’s Independence Day celebrations in Ashgabad. Moreover, he has a hilarious post about a recent visit to Ashgabad by Vladimir Zhirinovsky, enfant-terrible of Russia’s Duma, and provides an update on the Ukrainian-Turkmen gas row.

kyrgyzstan.neweurasia.net
Claire witnessed protests in the capital Bishkek and has photos. More of them are at her personal blog Mental Wanderlust.

kazakhstan.neweurasia.net
Ben posts about the political system in Kazakhstan. There is no change in sight: The parliament will remain weak and only an arena for possible successors of Nazarbayev. Who will it be?

Coming soon:
Check azerbaijan.neweurasia.net for the upcoming weekly update.

    Medications alone are not enough and most mental health providers don’t just rely on meds to fix problems. Mental health/illness should be treated like anything other problem. WBR LeoP
