Condoleezza Rice's current visit to Central Asia is connected with the fact that the USA has been losing its positions in the region

The US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has started her debut tour of Central Asian states. The program of the tour includes official visits to Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and Afghanistan. Ms. Rice may also visit Pakistan to express sympathies on behalf of the USA in connection with the recent devastating earthquake.

Condoleezza Rice arrived in the republic of Kyrgyzstan yesterday. "It is important for Kyrgyzstan to maintain friendly relations with its neighbors, there are no reasons for the republic to choose between Russia and the USA," the US Secretary of State said at the briefing in Kyrgyz capital Bishkek. Russian politicians had a similar reaction to the visit of the top US official. The Russian Minister for Foreign Affairs, Sergei Lavrov, stated during his visit to Paris that there was no opposition between Russia and the USA in Central Asia, although there were certain legal interests in the region, the minister added.

Pravda.Ru interviewed the chairman of the department for Central Asia of the CIS Institute, Andrey Grozin, regarding USA's plans in Central Asia.

"Condoleezza Rice's current visit to Central Asia is connected with the fact that the USA has been losing its positions in the region, which the US administration won after 2001. The situation has been changing to Washington's detriment lately: it became especially clear after Uzbekistan's wish to get rid of the US military presence on its territory. The USA hoped that Islam Karimov (the Uzbek president) would change his mind on the matter, although it was revealed later that Uzbekistan was not willing to do so.

"Furthermore, the USA wishes to create a certain group, which would include Central Asian states and Afghanistan, without the participation of Russia, China ands Iran. The pro-American Afghanistan will thus control the political and economic direction in Central Asian states. This concept is also connected with the USA's plan to build the so-called Big Middle East, although they prefer not to touch upon the issue because of the ongoing war in Iraq.
