“Astana cesserà di essere rivale di Mosca e Kiev nell’export del grano nell’area del Mar Nero”
E’ quanto affermato di recente da Nurlan Tleubayev durante una videoconferenza “Astana-Moscow-Kyiv” sulla Sicurezza alimentare: previsioni, rischi, interessi.
Tleubayev ha affermato che la ferrovia Kazaka-Turkmena-Iraniana verrà a breve inaugurata e così anche la ferrovia che connette la Georgia alla Turchia: sono tutte vie che apriranno ancora di più le esportazioni di grano dal Kazakhstan.
“Noi ci rifiutiamo di transitare attraverso la Russia. Abbiamo un porto ad Aktau, i nostri mezzi attraverseranno il Mar Caspio, l’Azerbaijan, la Georgia e raggiungeranno la Turchia”, ha detto Tleubayev. Il quale ha anche aggiunto che una grande quantità di grano giungerà via treno in Cina ed in Iran.
