Президент запретил, премьер-министр разрешил? Знаменитый Норман Фостер приложил руки к Кок-Жайлау

The discussion revolves around a controversial, even scandalous, issue: the construction of a ski resort in the Kok-Zhailau ravine above Almaty. This dispute has been ongoing for over 10 years. Seven years ago, President Tokayev categorically declared that such construction would not take place. However, a month ago, the issue flared up again, this time with the balance seemingly in favor of building a ski complex at Kok-Zhailau. Recently, Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov chaired a meeting of the board of directors of the Kazakh Tourism company and ordered the Almaty Superski project, which involves construction at Kok-Zhailau. And what happened? President Tokayev banned the construction, and seven years later, Prime Minister Bektenov is allowing it. Therefore, opponents of the construction have not yet lost hope of preserving this popular mountain route for nature lovers, which they want to transform into an urbanized resort for those seeking a more technologically advanced and comfortable vacation. Both sides have taken an irreconcilable stance. Each side has its own compelling and compelling arguments. Several public hearings have been held during this time, some very heated and uncompromising. This Elmedia episode is planned as a dialogue between representatives of both sides, to hear their respective perspectives. However, those invited from the opposing side declined to participate, so we spoke with Mukhtar Taizhan, a public figure and chairman of the Ile-Alatau Park Coordination Council. Who designed the planned complex at Kok-Zhailau? What is the project's cost? What capacity will be involved in its implementation? Are there any environmental, technological, or other risks? Comparisons with other countries where mountain clusters are rapidly developing are discussed in this conversation with Mukhtar Taizhan. #Kok-Zhailau #President_Tokayev #Premier_Bektenov #Norman_Foster #Kazakh_Tourism #Almaty_Superski #Azhar_Dzhandosova #Sergey_Kuratov #Tatyana_Bendz #Elena_Erzakovich #Dana_Meirbekova #Mukhtar_Taijan #Gulzhan_Ergalieva #Elmedia #elmedia 00:00 - Start 00:26 - Kok-Zhailau as an arena of political conflict 03:36 - Why are they in such a hurry with construction on Kok-Zhailau? 04:56 - Gondola lifts are more environmentally friendly than hiking 06:15 - Kok-Zhailau has been seriously polluted in 7 years 07:17 - There's no rush around Kok-Zhailau 08:12 - Criticism has improved the Kok-Zhailau project 10:13 - A mountain cluster without law or status 11:28 - Why split a single project into parts? 12:36 - Why did they return to developing Kok-Zhailau after Tokayev's ban? 16:47 - The Almaty Superski project is moving into the implementation phase 19:03 - Has Tokayev approved the Kok-Zhailau development project? 20:24 - Could an artificial mountain lake flood the city? 28:00 - How much does the construction threaten the unique mountain environment? 32:11 - Who is responsible for the name of the Almaty Superski project? 34:02 - Our mountain resort should be more expensive than Courchevel 37:27 - Why a new resort instead of modernizing the old ones? 44:10 - Almaty lacks recreational infrastructure 46:55 - Taizhan targets global tourism 48:39 - Foreign resorts shocked by our refusal to develop 50:24 - A Kazakhstani invested $1 million in developing mountain trails 53:08 - More than €1 billion to finance the project? 55:18 - Foreigners leave up to $5,000 at a time in Shymbulak 1:00:27 - Conclusion We are an independent opposition media resource covering current news in Kazakhstan and conveying the truth about Kazakhstan's politics, economics, and international relations, featuring interviews with key political figures and experts.
