     3.  Present global situation

     After 9-11 events the situation in the world has changed drastically. The balance of power and influence of Russia and China in Central Asia has changed, and control in this region has shifted to America and the Western countries. America and Western countries pursued not only objectives of fighting global terrorism but reaching economic domination in this region as well.

     The main reason is that Central Asia is rich in oil, natural gas, mineral resources and raw materials, so America, Russia and China compete severely over control in this region. The political influence of Russia in this region is still in existence, the economic and political role of China in the region is also increasing steadily, and America and its Western allies also do everything possible to penetrate into this region. Creation of the ‘Shanghai Organization for Cooperation”, close relations between China and Pakistan with its nuclear weapons, and other similar factors worry greatly the US and its Western allies.

     America was trying hard over many years to establish its control in the region, but it failed so far to reach considerable success. However, the 9-11 events created new opportunities for the USA.
The US military presence in Afghanistan mixed up all plans of Russia and China in the Central Asian region, and the “Shanghai Cooperation Organization” got out of control of the whole situation.
The US is now present in Afghanistan, Pakistan turned out from China, and the Turkic states of Central Asia started to slowly drift towards America,
The 9-11 events demonstrated us clearly that the world political situation is influenced not by the UN or other international organizations but solely by America and its Western allies.
The most important thing is that we need to understand fully the Western and American policies.
