Alash, National Patriotic Party

The Alash - Party of National Independence was a radical nationalist Islamic party that existed in the states of Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan between 1990 and 1994.

History

As a result of the collapse of the Soviet Union joined on 14-15. April 1990 together on a founding congress in Almaty, Kazakhs and Kyrgyz nationalist to a Muslim national party. This founding congress had around 200 participants who came mainly from Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. The new party is now carried the name " Alash - Party of National Independence ", found himself in the " tradition of the old Alash Party " standing and called together all the inhabited by Kazakhs and Kyrgyz areas. Party organ was the newspaper " Alash ", which was published in May 1990.

This Alash Party was founded primarily as a response to the nationalist Russian party of Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. Chairman was the Kazakh Sarkytbek Imaschew.

This party had mainly four main objectives:

The Alash Party also worked closely with the founded in 1991, right-wing and ultra- Islamic " Turkestan Party " together. This would - like the new Alash Party - also a pan-Turkish and Muslim reflection of all the Turkic peoples of Central Asia and the " repatriation " of all non-Muslims from the inhabited by Turkic states of Central Asia.

So both organizations pursued the same nationalist goals.

Party ban

Already in December 1991, shortly after the party had begun to cooperate with the Turkestan - party, riots took place in Almaty. As a result, many members were arrested. The political leaders fled to the Turkish-speaking countries from where they operated on. Until 1992, had the Alash Party, which was not registered as such, around 3,000 members, of which about 30 were living in the city of Almaty. However, as of 1993, all political activities of the party in Kazakhstan have been set. After several members had insulted the Kazakh president several times, the Alash Party was banned in 1994 " fascist " by the Kazakh government. The members of the now banned end Alash Party joined other parties in Kazakhstan, where they now form the " militant right wing " of these parties in particular. In Kyrgyzstan, the Alash Party politically no longer plays a role.
