Kok Zhailyau ski resort \u2013 a project of President\u2019s daughter Dinara Kulibaeva.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As is known Kok Zhailyau ski resort construction is going to start in the first quarter of 2014 in\u00a0Kok Zhailyau area near Almaty. The public is strongly opposed to this construction, and Almaty akimat is for it. If you hit the high points in the publications on the topics, you may have a false impression that Almaty administration stands for Kok Zhailyau project implementation, because it is akimat all ecologists and public appeal to, and Esimov and his people readily draw the fire upon themselves.<\/p>\n

In reality,\u00a0Akim Akhmedzhan \u00a0Esimov works in this case rather as a distracting scarecrow running before annoyed people waiving his hands, while an oil princess, Dinara Kulibaeva, is going straight to her goal \u2013 implementation of a multimillion \u00a0project, which will destroy the \u201clungs of Almaty\u201d –\u00a0 Kok Zhailyau area, but will strengthen the shaky image of Kulibaeva in Switzerland.<\/p>\n

In January of this year Dinara Kulibaeva\u00a0(in the photo on the right) brought to Astana a group of Swiss project developers for them to meet her father. After negotiations Nursultan Nazarbaev approved the resort construction and even had time to figure out the benefit for the family budget:\u00a0\u201cA tourist attracted to a ski resort brings 6 times more income, than the one visiting warm countries and seas\u201d,<\/i>\u00a0Nazarbaev said after the meeting.<\/p>\n

In spite of the fact that Dinara Kulibaeva gave herself away by coming to the meeting, few people paid attention to that, including ecologist Mels Eleusizov who without due cause laid the blame on disgraced ex-Akim of Almaty Viktor Khrapunov instead of President\u2019s daughter by saying literally the following: \u201cIt\u2019s a pure scam. The project was cooked up by Khrapunov\u201d. Eleusizov has been long playing the dummy\u2019s role at Nazarbaev\u2019s court, and this time everything went as scripted. Mass media, including those of Kulibaev, stack to the phrase like glue, replicated it, and the main initiator of the project,\u00a0Dinara, remained kind of innocent.<\/p>\n

The biggest irony is that my husband Viktor Khrapunov, when he occupied the position of Akim of Almaty stood against the Nazarbaevs\u2019 craving to seize lands for development in picturesque mountain areas. I think everyone remember the campaign initiated in 2004 by Imangali Tasmagambetov trying to accuse Khrapunov of alleged land sale. This Tasmagambetov\u2019s initiative quickly came to nothing. After making some noise for journalists, the president\u2019s product quickly stopped his revelatory activity. Why? Because as a result he could take a mask away both from himself and the entire president\u2019s family. I witnessed the events and would like to share some facts.<\/p>\n

So, when Viktor Khrapunov was Akim of Almaty he wrote a personal appeal to President asking to establish a single 20-km area of urban management around the city.\u00a0It meant that\u00a0Almaty region administration<\/strong>\u00a0had no right to authorize any development without consent of Almaty and without consideration of the city development prospects.<\/p>\n

He did it after it turned out that earlier\u00a0Akim of Almaty region\u00a0<\/strong>had authorized development by high officials and their relatives, including a relative of Imangali Tasmagambetov, of territories to the east of Dulati street and to the south of Al-Farabi avenue. \u00a0Khrapunov\u2019s team withdrew the land, and a garden was planted in the area of 78 hectares.<\/p>\n

Then the gardens of Central Asian Military District (CAMD) sanatorium were cut off at the personal order of President Nazarbaev. The land passed into the ownership of his younger daughter Aliya for construction of LUXOR complex.<\/p>\n

A fruiting apple orchard in Al-Farabi avenue was passed to Mr. Abykaev, where he opened a golf club for his first wife \u2013 Rimma Filippovna.<\/p>\n

At the personal order of N. Nazarbaev a fruiting apple orchard in the south-east of Almaty was passed by Akim of Almaty region to Kurdastar association\u00a0 \u2013 Nazarbaev\u2019s classmates.<\/p>\n

There was an interesting story with the garden of \u0421hildhood and Maternity Center located in Dostyk avenue. The matter was handled by then Prime-Minister Kasymzhomart Tokaev. He offered Akim Khrapunov to pass the Center\u2019s garden to president\u2019s middle son-in-law Timur Kulibaev. Khrapunov refused, and then Tokaev politely, but insistently offered to consider the issue again. After considering the question, Chief Architect of the city proposed to pass a part of the garden burnt during a fire. In this territory Kulibaev built a high-rise apartment house in Dostyk avenue, in front of Kazakhstan sanatorium, and a residential house for his father\u2013 Askar Kulibaev. At present the whole garden (about 4 hectares) is owned by President Nazarbaev\u2019s middle son-in-law.<\/p>\n
