This is a very important and serious work!

I have a lot of material on  development of an effective program of cooperation in the future and the use of Tatar business sites in the countries of residence of our compatriots.

During his stay  R. Minnekhanov in the Czech Republic (Brno) at the extended meeting of the Alliance Tatar of Europe, I partially voiced.

The tremendous opportunities of the business sites of our compatriots in their countries of residence unfortunately are not sufficiently used for cooperation. True, this is not only a problem for the Tatars, but for all compatriots of the Russian Federation.

We have been raising this issue a long time ago, but unfortunately for 35 years of living in Slovakia and the Czech Republic, I did not notice the dynamics or at least the designations of forms of consolidation of the Tatars’ business in Europe. The problem is very large, without a strategic guide from the Government of Tatarstan, this issue cannot be raised.

Single pushing without a strategic program to consolidate Tatars abroad has not led to anything so far – each continue to describe their own trajectories of movement alone. And this could be combined into one strong vector, when the “guiding force” (Tatarstan) has all the components of business. Local performers – business sites are available in every European country (I know that). Everyone is at different levels of their own development. Many of us  have adapted in Europe, in our countries of residence are respected people and enjoy well-deserved authority. However, as soon as the question of expanding the “circle” of the actions of government programs is concerned, these ready-made “business sites” are not used. And the search for untested options, in an unknown environment, begins.

Consolidation of business opportunities abroad Tatars good or bad, it turns out only in those cases when you need a sponsor to support culture and language, when carrying out activities in the places of their organization.

However, it is necessary to emphasize that such “Sabantuis” cannot be the center of the Consolidation of the Tatars’ business abroad! To create a model of cooperation, Tatar business sites need topics related to projects of Tatarstan and the Russian Federation, which have a long and stable character.

In conclusion, I would like to thank our President Mr. R. Minnekhanov and Chairman  (Milli Schura) Mr. V. Shaikhraziev for starting, at least today, discussing this issue – finding out the opinion of the Tatar elite abroad and laying it into the program of cooperation with fellow countrymen in the future. We offer you ready-made business sites in Europe, you offer your projects for implementation, and there are a lot of them only even within Tatarstan. We are Tatars,  and  we able to do  in business, if not, so learn to unite for common goals – if the interests of all parties are taken into account in commercial terms. And politics today is already relevant in a number of businesses – this is not necessary to hide – all politics is big business. Many of us at these sites will have to be able to combine all these qualities.

Thus, I want to finish: you are offered ready-made business platforms of Tatars in Europe of high level – it’s up to you to use them or not. We make such an offer on your addressing   us.

On behalf of the Tatars-business elite of Europe,

Associate Professor, Ing. Talgat N. Izmailov CSc,
