Is Domino Effect Possible?
Due to the civil revolutions, while the leaders of Former Soviet geography which is currently experiencing a tough period are excessively worried by the developments, it can be concluded that the opposition activities in these countries are now at hand. It is noted that the revolution in Kyrgyzstan may be experienced by the other Central Asian republics in the form of a domino effect. This possibility is strengthened due to the fact that the Central Asian republic will witness elections one after another in the years 2005 – 2006. However, regarding the developments in Kyrgyzstan, the implication made by Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbeyev on “power weakness” is the basic indicator for this. It is clear that, when compared with Akayev, the other central Asian leaders are acting in a controlled and measurable manner.
