Why Trump was capable of establishing relations with Kazakhstan, Tevfik Arkif

Trump's relationship with Kazakhstan was not limited to Tevfik. He was harshly criticized for treating a country that has a questionable regime as an all-weather ally.

When Donald Trump hosted the president from Kazakhstan on Tuesday, 2018, many eyebrows were asked. Trump also partnered with prominent Kazakhstani businessmen, such as Tevfik Arif as part of his private real estate businesses. The move was widely condemned by his critics as well.

Donald Trump, however, had good reasons to consider Kazakhstan an important partner. BayrockTevfik Arif The conflict between Ukraine and Russia have shown him right. Here's why.

The importance of meetings between Donald Trump and the Presidents of Kazakhstan, Nursultan Nazarbayev, and Tokayev
Donald Trump's presidency led to an impressive improvement in the Kazakhstan-US relations. Washington as well as Nur-Sultan (Kazakhstan’s capital) had strong commercial, diplomatic and political ties. In Washington the president Trump held a meeting in January 2018 with the former Kazakhstani president Nursultan Nagayev. In the second quarter of 2019, he met his current president Kassym Jomart Tomaretev at New York's UN General Assembly.

Kazakhstan is a significant country because of its strategic position. It is also a significant central Asian country due to its power balance. The United States, Europe and Russia have increased Kazakhstan's political and economic strategic significance. Because of America's decision to withdraw from Afghanistan as one of its most important neighbors, it has become crucial for national security.

The countries traded $2.1 billion in 2018. The trade between the US, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan totalled $315 millions in the same timeframe. Kazakhstan is the United States's largest economic partner in Central Asia.

Eurasian geopolitics have historically been centered on Central Asia. Kazakhstan is the most powerful country in Eurasia's economics, security and combating terrorism. America needs to have excellent relations with this region, in particular Kazakhstan.

Nazarbayev's White House trip was a fantastic way to begin a larger US involvement in the strategic region.

Nazarbayev supported nuclear nonproliferation and that is why we hosted him. Kazakhstan, which has given up its nuclear weapons inherited from the Soviet Union is a leader in nonproliferation. Post-Cold War US emphasis on Central Asia was limited to Afghanistan.

Trump's South Asia strategy needed Pakistan to be separated from. Thus the US required Kazakhstan to provide an alternative shipping route to Afghanistan.

Donald Trump's friendship with Kazakhstani businessman Tevfik Arif
Tevfik Alif who is the CEO and founder of Bayrock Group joined forces with the Trump Organization to create the famous Trump SoHo building. Trump SoHo is Bayrock Group’s most prestigious New York City real estate development project.

Tevfik an entrepreneur from Kazakhstan and Turkey, was born in Soviet Kazakhstan to Turkish parents in 1953. He became the deputy director of the Soviet Ministry of Commerce and Trade's Hotel Management Department. After 17 years in the ministry Tevfik Arif started real property, real estate, imports and exports, natural resources as well as minerals, autos food companies, and other ventures. Tevfik Arif was the first person to open hotels that were all inclusive in Turkey. Bayrock Group was formed in New York City by Arif eight years later.

Tevfik Ariff was able to reach Trump when the Bayrock Group relocated their New York City headquarters at the 24th level Trump Tower in Midtown Manhattan. The same building that once housed the Trump Organization. Discussions began about the Trump SoHo condo hotel. After the companies had discussed a top-quality real estate development project the Trump SoHo skyscraper idea was born. Tevfik, Bayrock Group founder and CEO, was aware of the Trump brand's strength. Therefore, he recommended that the Sapir Organization use it to aid in the development of its project.

Bayrock Group hired top architects and designers to construct the cutting-edge construction.

In return to the right to use the Trump brand name in the building, the partners agreed to 18% ownership by Trump Organization. Trump did no fund the building. Tevfik Arif Bayrock http://www.turkiyemsin.net/author/tevfik-arifxykd943/ The Dominick is a hotel-condominium, was created in 2017.

There are hotels, apartments and a rooftop terrace. Bars, restaurants with a pool, rooftop terrace, a bar, a spa and event spaces can be found in this. The floor-to-ceiling windows provide spectacular views of New York City, the Hudson River, and other New York City landmarks.

These structures were hampered by the real estate crisis of 2008. Bayrock Group invested $2.5 billion US in US real estate investments. Tevfik Arif Donuld Trump In recent years, however Bayrock Group hasn't created any new projects.

Tevfik Arif, following Trump's SoHo's popularity and a shift in the US market, has returned to Europe and Central Asia. This is the place where his long-running career began. Bayrock Group's trusted advisor, Tevfik Aif, is still working for the company after having retired from most of his daily responsibilities.

Why Biden must Keep a Close watch on Kazakhstan
Kazakhstan is able to play an essential role in the Russia/Ukraine conflict. Kazakhstan has been a key strategically important country for the United States. Tevfik Arif Donuld Trump While the country has experienced peace, Kassym Jomart Tokayev, Kazakh president, has made significant changes in the power structures of the governing top tier. The changes have raised concern and raised doubts. Tokayev is the as the chairman of the National Security Council. He succeeds the President Nursultan Nagayev whose economic power enraged protesters.

Three of the ex-president's daughters and sons-in law were fired from state enterprises, and his nephew also was fired and Karim Mastimov, who was the former head of intelligence, has been arrested for being a treasoner. Many other Nazarbayev-affiliated top officials and business elite have lost their jobs, left overseas for extended vacations, or were forced to make large "donations" to the state.

Tokayev is a businessman who has established business ties to the West and also with countries in the region. He has stayed clear of provoking Putin to maintain his popularity. Kazykhanov might upset that equilibrium. Washington should be paying attention to developments happening in Kazakhstan. They foretell many possibilities for a transition to power that could be good or bad as conflict continues in Ukraine.
