EurasiaNet Civil Society - Central Asia: Rethinking the Anti-Democratic Crackdown
EurasiaNet Civil Society - Central Asia: Rethinking the Anti-Democratic Crackdown: "n trying to justify their counter-attack against democratization, Central Asian leaders, using state-controlled media, have trumpeted the spurious charge that the revolutions in Georgia, Ukraine and Kyrgyzstan were instigated from outside, namely by the American government and/or foreign non-governmental organizations (NGOs). In connection with this, Central Asian leaders have either taken action, or are considering moves to restrict NGO activity. Uzbekistan has forced most foreign NGOs to cease operations in the country. [For background see the Eurasia Insight archive]. Pending legislation concerning philanthropy in Kazakhstan, meanwhile, would effectively enhance government oversight on NGO operations."
