Today Senate of Uzbekistan approved participation of this country in #EurasianEconomicUnion #EEU with observer status. Earlier lower chamber - Oliy Majlis did it. What is important, observer status is only courtesy gesture to Russia, which was insisting on full membership.#threat
The future of #Uzbekistan and #EEU has been widely commented during the whole process. On February I took the voice in this discussion, underlining why Uzbekistan is not going to join #EEU and what will happen next. Humbly reccommend this reading. pism.pl/publications/P…
Why?
* Mirziyoyev, who received Russian political support during his succession to power, then began to limit Russian influence
* Uzbekistan will not join the EEU because it views it as an instrument of Russian political influence that brings only little economic benefit

Ok, while everybody is talking about #China, #Russia or #Cuba in the context of #coronadiplomacy, let's take a closer look at #Turkey. Who received Turkey's help? What did it consist of? Thread.
So it seems, naturally, that China was the first one to receive Turkish help in February. It consisted of: medicines, medical mascs, googles and gloves. Also in February 🇹🇷 evacuated from 🇨🇳 - in addition to the Turks - citizens of 🇦🇿, 🇦🇱 and 🇬🇪.
Then, in the first half of March, 🇹🇷 sent help to Bulgaria. According to @DailySabah 🇧🇬 "bought 50,000 masks, 100,000 protective garments and 100,000 safety goggles from Turkey". According to @anadoluajansi, 🇹🇷, together with Turkic Council countries, sent aid also to Hungary.
