Aliyev Discussion

Category: In The Media,KazakhstanChrisM @ 2:20 am

I mentioned a while ago about the situation with Nazabayev’s (the President of Kazakhstan) son-in-law Rakhat Aliev (also spelt Aloyev). Thanks to this post at KZBlog, I have now read a good couple of posts that summarize the situation well. Two hours ago the links worked fine, now I can not access them.
The most likely explanation is simply that the server for that site is having problems, though other issues, such as a block being placed by Kazakh authorities are possible. Hopefully not too likely, but something to consider… Anyway, the 1st (and newer) post details the issues surrounding Aliyev’s extradition, and the second was written a little earlier, and is a more general summary of what has been allegedly going on with Aliyev and accusations of kidnapping.

Thanks to KZBlog once again for the heads up on those two posts.

    hmmm, well the two posts still don’t work, same error as if I just try to go to the root of the site – “”The server at centralasia.foreignpolicyblogs.com is taking too long to respond.””

    Does anyone else get this error?
