Why the US urgently needed a base in the Caspian
Persistent rumors arose about the opening of an American military base in Kazakhstan and the possible emergence of US Navy ships on the Caspian Sea. If this is true, then the Kazakh leadership will violate the agreements concluded between the participating countries of the Caspian Club.
The club includes five countries: Russia, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Iran and Azerbaijan. The entire Caspian coast belongs only to these countries. And, of course, they share among themselves and the entire water area of the sea.
Afghan trace in US-Kazakh accords
To the rumors about the possible appearance of American warships in the Caspian Sea with the assistance of Kazakhstan, this country reacted very quickly. Representatives of the Kazakh embassy in Moscow officially stated that this information is not true.
There are two reasons why the statement of Kazakhstan can be considered true. Firstly, there is an agreement between the Caspian countries that the armed forces of only the states of the Caspian Club can be present on the Caspian Sea, and their violation can cause serious trouble. And the second reason is that the Caspian Sea is not really a sea. The Caspian is simply a large lake that does not have a natural outlet to the oceans. This means that no American ship will sail there under its own power.
In fact, Kazakhstan provides the USA with commercial cargo transit services to Afghanistan, where the American military contingent is located. After deteriorating relations with Pakistan, the Americans began to look for other options for transport links with Kabul. With Russia, which also provided similar services earlier, the Americans today are not developing the best relations. Then the choice fell on transit through Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan.
Or is it all about Iran?
There is also a version that Afghan transit is a cover for other, hidden goals of the Americans. Some experts believe that the main goal of the United States is Iran, where they, together with the allies, are preparing an invasion.
Please note that talk about the appearance of the US military in Kazakhstan takes place in parallel with the new velvet revolution in Armenia, which is unknown how it will end. Perhaps the United States is "encircling" Iran on all sides, like wolves with red flags. And this ring includes the former Soviet republics, Kazakhstan and Armenia.
Most experts believe that the intensification of contacts between the US and Kazakhstan will not affect the agenda of negotiations between the countries of the Caspian Club. And in Kazakhstan, they should understand that America is far away, and Russia and Iran are very close.
