Geopolitical collision of CA: evolution of interests of foreign force and questions of regional security of the region
All countries of Central Asia—Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan—
inherited elements of the vast Soviet weapons of mass destruction (WMD) production
complex. Among the activities in which WMD facilities in Central Asia were engaged were
uranium mining, plutonium production, the fabrication and testing of biological and chemical
weapons, and the storage and testing of nuclear weapons. Early international efforts to address this
proliferation threat emphasized ensuring that the Russian Federation became the only legatee of
Soviet nuclear weapons; other proliferation risks posed by WMD materials, technology and expertise
received less attention.
Materials that currently pose WMD-related threats in Central Asia can be classified into three
main groups: nuclear weapon-related material, including fissile material (highly enriched uranium and
plutonium) and radioactive material ("orphan", or abandoned, sources); biological weapon-related
materials and technologies; and chemical weapon-related materials and technologies. The leading
WMD-related risk in Central Asia is the possibility of the theft of materials and their sale by smugglers
or through brokers to terrorist or proliferant states. Another risk is the leakage of expertise either
through the sale of critical information or through "brain drain". A related risk is the possibility that
Central Asian states could be used as a transit corridor for smuggling WMD-related materials and
expertise originating from outside of the region.
