| 16.06.2006 Torugart turned into a trap. To the president of the Kyrgyz Republic Bakiev K. S To the prime minister of Kyrgyz Republic Kulov F. Sh The open letter Since relations with the China were established, during 14-15 years we work carrying a different cargo to China. Nobody excites how we exist in China and how we are oppressed by Chinese. Moving border we stop on the Chinese post, under the name «Eski Torugart», collecting till 50-60 machines, one soldier examines the forward machine, the second back. They specially leave other machines on a post for that hotels taking place there and dining rooms had work. If you start to rebel, you will be assess with penalties, your passport will be taken away, in general they do not consider us as a people. Machines taking place in column have no right to stop autocratically, if you will stop because of breakages - impose the penalty. They have asphalted road about 25-30 kms up to site "Topo". If on this piece you will break the trunk, you put a jack to change a wheel, they impose the penalty that has ostensibly spoiled asphalt. Having remained without wheels and not working machine, having paid the penalty you remain on the road. If on asphalt will drip a a little oil, we pay the penalty up to 500 dollars. On site "Topo" they start on warehouses together with a cargo. Under the order of the soldier you must spend a night in hotel in which he will tell, it is forbidden to sleep in machines. In the winter when you stand in a court yard, a warehouse do not allow to start and warm up the machine. If suddenly they will see that, impose the penalty, sometimes beat and lock drivers which have dared something to object. If there is a road accident, they impose the penalty from 3000 up to 10000 dollars that have spoiled a surface of road, in general they do what they want. Whether we are afraid? Or officials come in authority are guilty? Or to blame the former government? Why: 1. Russia and Kazakhstan do not start up the Chinese machines; 2. While the Chinese machines easy go even to our capital. Transport inspection, employees of SAI cannot impose on them the penalty, they cannot stop their machine at all because protectors of them are officials having authority, those who owns the markets; 3. Chinese Automobile go without obstacles on all territory of Kyrgyzstan; 4. Lorries following to our country on a piece from Urumchi up to site Topo have no right to load the machine more than on 25 tons. To protect the roads have put balance. After you pass last balance, after site Topo, knowing that machine goes to Kyrgyzstan, load from above 25-30 more tons. While in warehouses of Topo there is no control, load machines as much it is necessary and send to Kyrgyzstan.
Speak that during time Akaev, "Kolshelek" and minister of transport K. Zhumaliev pursuing their interests let the Chinese lorries, and from each machine took the duty of 3000-3500 dollars. Speak «If speaks people, it means the truth ». They were obliged to pay in customs house as the duty 80000 - 120000 soms. After revolution when Akaev, "Koshelek" and many others have escaped, money that were paid from each machine of 3500 dollars + 100000-120000 soms, began to receipt to customs house as the duty, vice prime-minister Usenov D. T and the heads of customs house in fact steel is proud of it, a pier well we work. It was not so, Chinese businessmen as paid during time of Akaev for each machine, continue to pay. Earlier customs officers took the same money and transferred officials. Who will answer for it? The same customs officers are working still. Let customs officers do not take offence, not having a choice it was necessary to them to work both on a top, and on simple people. Because, since the Chinese machines began to come to Kyrgyzstan, we have remained without work. Our quantity is 700-1000. Drivers, their families, native and close people have remained without means of subsistence, observing for the Chinese machines, we hope that we shall be heard by the president, the prime minister, that infringements will be eliminated, we will be enable to work, lifting a level of the state economy. If our machines leave China they bring a cargo of 25-35 tons, and the Chinese machines bring 50-60 tons of a cargo. Since on customs house Torugart there has come the new chief, following becoming tradition behind the Chinese bus, machines «for hand luggage» with a body of long 7-8 meters without the hook-on machine, was 2-4 earlier and from them the duty did not undertake, and got in pockets of customs officers, today quantity of such machines has reached 15-20 in a week. The duty does not undertake, and if that undertakes very low, each machine takes out about 20 tons of a cargo. To this one example, the red lorry from Kashkar with state Number 013176, the trailer 0490, recently, has taken out a cargo of 50-60 tons in quality of "hand luggage" and has unloaded it in market "Madina". Recently, even without the bus, they come to Torugart as to own home, paying in the necessary sum to customs officers, and SNS. On the entrance of market "Madina" there is a registration in which the quantity of all arrived machines, when they arrived is specified, and how much they paid specified and in customs house such registration is not present. Affairs in the rank of customs house Erkeshtam are even worse than on Torugarts. The piece between China and Kyrgyzstan - 7 kms is served with our machines, from Chine to our post, in one machine take a cargo of 90-100 tons, the duty of 4000 dollars undertakes each machine, at our customs house distribute a cargo on 4-5 lorries and take away to Osh city. Owing to prosperity of smuggling, the volume of an imported cargo to Kyrgyzstan on this post has sharply increased. Kurmanbek Salievich, Felix Sharshenbaevich, consider how many will leave smuggling even during time after revolution? Roads taking place through villages Karabulun, Karasuu of Atbashinski area, Ottuk of Naryn area, are not designed for lorries owing to what the ground is shaked, walls of houses burst. Floor houses in Naryn taking place at roads, do not know rest and silence, homes fall literally. There is a speak «look all over again at an entrance and then pass on a place of honour», the road which is an input entrance for China, from Torugart demands repair, is in an emergency condition. Dear Kurmanbek Salievich, Felix Sharshebaevich! Always supporting you, simple citizens of Kyrgyzstan and the drivers, being in a heavy position, suffering infringements of the rights ask you about the following: 1. We think, that if on all posts of entrance to Kyrgyzstan to put balance, to weigh a cargo of each machine, and as earlier under the decision of the government for 1 kg. to take 0,27 or 0,15 cents, smuggling will be reduced. 2. To not let the Chinese lorries on territory of Kyrgyzstan more than 50-80 kms (to create customs warehouses, bases). 3. To keep stayed to us from ancestors the Great Silk way. If now to sate smugglers, to enrich the Chinese businessmen, in a consequence for each km it will be necessary for us 1,0 million dollars. And it means the charge 600 million dollars. 4. If shortly, you will not arrange matters concerning the Chinese lorries, we will not have any choice other than to join inhabitants of Naryn, Atbashy and to partition off road Torugart-Bishkek to stop the Chinese aggressors. Dear Kurmanbek Slaievich, Felix Sharshenbaevich! Hoping for you, with deep respect: K.Tentimishov, T.Zheenbaev, D.Ismailov, K.Shamsutdinov, A.Bajgoroev and the signature of 140 people. |
