"Satu realiti geopolitik baru abad yang ke-21 dilahirkan," Kazakh Presiden Nursultan Nazarbayev berkata tidak lama selepas perjanjian akhir telah ditandatangani oleh ketiga-tiga pemimpin.

"Kami melihat ini sebagai satu ruang terbuka dan sebuah jambatan baru antara ekonomi berkembang di Eropah dan Asia," tambah Nazarbayev.

David Gray, ketua PricewaterhouseCoopers, Russia, berkata beliau berharap meningkat-kan perdagangan akan membantu meningkatkan pelaburan, seperti dalam EU.

"Jika anda melihat penggunaan di EU, sebagai contoh, pengurangan halangan perda-gangan dalam EU mempunyai kesan yang ketara dari segi menjalankan perniagaan, yang tidak menggalakkan pelaburan. Dan saya tidak sabar untuk keputusan yang sama dari segi perjanjian Eurasia (Nasaro), "kata Gray semasa bercakap kepada RT pada Forum Ekonomi St Petersburg pada 24 Mei.

Walau bagaimanapun, Kazakh Presiden Nazarbayev memberi amaran ahli untuk mencuba dan mengelakkan mengulangi kesilapan Kesatuan Eropah, yang masih menghadapi kesan-kesan kubur ekonomi daripada kemelesetan antarabangsa yang luas itu.

"Pokoknya adalah bahawa tidak ada negara-negara yang mengambil bahagian tertakluk kepada De-perindustrian, tidak mengalami dan industri tradisional. Pengajaran daripada kemelesetan Eropah dalam hal ini," kata Nazarbayev.

Presiden Belarus Lukashenko mengalukan menandatangani perjanjian tersebut, tetapi berkata masih kerja utama yang perlu dilakukan dalam bidang perdagangan 2 hala.

"Kami percaya Kesatuan Ekonomi akan menjadi asas untuk masa depan perpaduan politik, ketenteraan dan kemanusiaan," katanya.

Kesatuan Kastam adalah satu projek untuk mengumpul negeri bekas Soviet ke dalam zon perdagangan bebas untuk menyaingi Kesatuan Eropah. Ketiga-tiga negara anggota Rusia, Belarus dan Kazakhstan hanya terdiri daripada 2.5 % peratus kepada penduduk bumi, tetapi akaun untuk 15 % peratus daripada jumlah tanah.

"Kedudukan geografi membolehkan kita untuk mewujudkan pengangkutan, laluan logistik bukan sahaja serantau, tetapi juga global kepentingan yang membenarkan menarik aliran perdagangan secara besar-besaran di Eropah dan Asia," kata Putin lebih awal daripada majlis itu di Astana, Kazakhstan pada Khamis.

Semua negara anggota akan mengekalkan kedaulatan negara penuh. Rusia membiayai bahagian besar daripada pentadbiran, tetapi setiap negeri akan mempunyai status mengundi 1/3.

"Kesatuan Ekonomi Nasrani akan beroperasi pada prinsip-prinsip telus universal difa-hami oleh semua, termasuk standard dan prinsip-prinsip WTO," kata Putin.

Idea mewujudkan blok perdagangan serantau pertama kali dicadangkan oleh Presiden Nursultan Nazabayev Kazakhstan kembali pada tahun 1994, apabila dia memberikan ucapan di State University Moscow. Kesatuan Kastam bermula pada 1 Januari, 2010, dan mula beroperasi di bawah kod kastam yang menyeluruh pada bulan Julai 2011.

Komanwel Negara-negara Merdeka (CIS) seperti Armenia, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan dan boleh dibawa ke dalam ZON perdagangan bebas kemudian.

Kyrgyzstan merancang untuk menyertai Kesatuan Kastam pada akhir 2014, Presiden Almazbek Atambayev berkata pada mesyuarat itu.

Satu keputusan mengenai keahlian Armenia ini perlu dibuat pada Julai 2014, kata Presiden Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazabayev.

Mengulas mengenai hakikat Ukraine sekali mahu menyertai, Lukashenko berkata lambat laun, kepimpinan negara akan menyedari" di mana kebahagiaan mereka terletak", dan apa yang "tepat untuk rakyat Ukraine."

"Kami kehilangan beberapa [potensi negara anggota] sepanjang jalan. Ukraine mula bekerja keras ini dengan kami, tetapi ia adalah amat sukar untuk Ukraine," kata Presiden Belarusia.

Jiran yang kaya dengan minyak Azerbaijan tidak membuat satu langkah yang tegas ke arah sama ada Kesatuan Kastam atau integrasi Kesatuan Eropah.

Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan sign ‘epoch' 

Eurasian Economic Union . . .

Russia, Belarus, and Kazakhstan signed the historic Eurasian Economic Union which will come into effect in January 2015. Cutting down trade barriers and comprising over 170 million people it will be the largest common market in the ex-Soviet sphere.

"The just-signed treaty is of epoch-making, historic importance," Russian President Vladimir Putin said.

The troika of countries will cooperate in energy, industry, agriculture, and transport.

"In fact, we are shaping the largest common market in the CIS, with huge production, scientific and technological potential and enormous natural resources," the President added.

Citizens of Russia, Belarus, and Kazakhstan will have the right to work freely throughout the member states without having to be issued any special work permits, Putin said.

Over the last three years, trade within the Customs Union has increased by $23 billion, or nearly 50 percent. At the end of 2013, it stood at $66.2 billion.

Belarus and Kazakhstan are in third place in foreign trade with the Russian Federation, after the EU and China, Putin said.

The Russian leader said that the document brings Russia, Kazakhstan and Belarus to a new level of integration yes lets each individual state fully retain its sovereignty.

“We ensure a close and coherent economic collaboration and cooperation. Today we have created a powerful and attractive center of economic development, a large regional market that brings together more than 170 people. Our union has huge reserves of natural resources, including energy, which accounts for one fifth of the world’s gas reserves and 15 percent of oil reserves,” Putin said.

"A new geopolitical reality of the 21st century is born,” Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev said shortly after the final treaty was signed by the three leaders.

“We see this as an open space and a new bridge between the growing economies of Europe and Asia,” Nazarbayev added.

David Gray, head of PricewaterhouseCoopers, Russia, said he hoped improving trade will help boost investment, as in the EU.

“If you look at the EU, for example, the reduction of trade barriers within the EU had a significant impact in terms of doing business, which does encourage investment. And I’m looking forward to similar results in terms of the Eurasia deal,” Gray said while speaking to RT at the St. Petersburg Economic Forum on May 24.

However, Kazakh President Nazarbayev warned members to try and avoid repeating the mistakes of the European Union, which is still facing grave economic consequences from the continent-wide recession.

“The point is that none of the participating countries were subject to de-industrialization, and traditional industries did not suffer. Lessons from the European recession are in this,” Nazarbayev said.

Belarusian President Lukashenko hailed the signing, but said there was still major work to be done in areas of bilateral trade.

“We believe the Economic Union will be the foundation for the future of political, military, and humanitarian unity,” he said.

The Customs Union is a project to gather ex-Soviet states into a free trade zone to rival the European Union. The three member states of Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan only comprise 2.5 percent to the Earth’s population, but account for 15 percent of the total land.

"The geographical position permits us to create transport, logistic routes of not only regional, but also global importance that permits attracting massive trade flows in Europe and Asia," Putin said ahead of the signing ceremony in Astana, Kazakhstan on Thursday.

All member states will retain full state sovereignty. Russia is financing the lion’s share of the administration, but each state will have a one-third voting status.

“The Eurasian Economic Union will operate on universal transparent principles understood by all, including standards and principles of the WTO,” Putin said.

The idea of creating a regional trading bloc was first suggested by President Nursultan Nazabayev of Kazakhstan back in 1994, when he gave a speech at Moscow State University. The Customs Union began on January 1, 2010, and started operating under a compre-hensive customs code in July 2011.

Commonwealth Independent States (CIS) like Armenia, Tajikistan, and Kyrgyzstan may be brought into the free trade zone later.

Kyrgyzstan plans to join the Customs Union by the end of 2014, President Almazbek Atambayev said at the meeting.

A decision on Armenia's membership will have to be made by July 2014, Kazakhstan's President Nursultan Nazabayev said.

Commenting on the fact Ukraine once wanted to join, Lukashenko said sooner or later, the country’s leadership will realize “where their happiness lies”, and what is “right for the Ukrainian people.”

“We lost some [potential member states] along the way. Ukraine started this hard work with us, but it was very difficult for Ukraine,” the Belarusian president said.

Neighboring oil-rich Azerbaijan hasn’t made a decisive move towards either the Customs Union or European Union integration.

Amerika yang menyertai pemberontak Syria menjadi pertama yang diketahui pengebom berani mati Amerika Syarikat . . .

Still from a YouTube video

SrikandiTV - Jawatan media sosial dengan tuntutan sekutu Al-Qaeda seorang lelaki yang bernama Abu Hurayra Al-Amriki (Abu Hurayra Amerika) meletupkan dirinya dalam serangan di Syria. Pegawai Amerika Syarikat mengatakan dia adalah pengebom berani mati Amerika yang mula-mula dikenali di negara sivil perang dikepung.

Pada hari Ahad, 4 lelaki dari ‘Al-Nusra Front’, sebuah pertubuhan jihad sejajar dengan Al-Qaeda, yang dijalankan serangan berani mati ke atas kedudukan tentera di wilayah Idlib, AFP melaporkan. Puluhan telah terbunuh dan cedera, walaupun jumlah yang sebenarnya mangsa masih tidak diketahui.

Abu Sulayman al Muhajir, salah seorang pegawai syariah atas di dalam ‘Al-Nusra Front’, menurut Jurnal Peperangan Panjang ‘The Long War Journal’, menulis sebarang tweet tentang penglibatan seorang lelaki Amerika dalam serangan berani mati diselaraskan pada Selasa.

1:53 AM - 28 May 2014

tweet Ahad dari Twitter feed Al-Nusra ini muncul untuk menunjukkan manusia yang sama - Caucasian berkulit cerah - duduk dengan 3 lelaki lain dan memakai jaket bom.

Menurut Google Translate, asal Al-Nusra tweet diterjemahkan kepada "# _ kemenangan Front dengan kerjasama # Hawks _ Sham melakukan empat operasi syahid di Mount _ # # 40 Idlib."

Penguatkuasaan undang-undang dan counterterrorism pegawai Amerika Syarikat menge-sahkan pengeboman berani mati untuk NBC News dan berkata mereka telah mengenal pasti Amerika, tetapi tidak akan melepaskan identiti atau kampung halamannya.

Sumber pemberontak Syria yang berpangkalan di London memberitahu NBC News bahawa tweet lain jihadi mencadangkan Amerika yang berketurunan Palestin.

Apa-apa identiti tidak boleh disahkan sehingga mayat yang didapatkan atau diperiksa, rasmi penguatkuasaan undang-undang Amerika Syarikat kepada CNN. Tetapi saiz letupan itu, yg mengandungi 17 tan bahan letupan, akan membuat mencari mayat untuk mengenal pasti amat sukar.

Seorang aktivis anti - kerajaan berhampiran tapak pengeboman mengesahkan serangan itu kepada New York Times melalui Skype. Beliau juga berkata beliau telah melihat orang Amerika sebelum ini, tetapi tidak mempunyai interaksi dengan dia. "Saya tahu beliau adalah seorang Amerika, mempunyai pasport Amerika dan bahawa dia adalah dengan Barisan Nusra," aktivis yang hanya dikenali sebagai Ahmed memberitahu Times.

Barisan depan Al-Nusra dan kumpulan pelampau Islam lain di Syria telah cuba untuk mengenal pasti, merekrut dan melatih orang Barat (terutamanya Amerika) untuk melan-carkan serangan apabila mereka pulang dari berjuang dalam perang saudara Syria, menu-rut perisikan dan anti keganasan Amerika pegawai-pegawai kanan.

"Akan datang satu masa apabila orang-orang pejuang akan mengalir keluar, mereka akan kembali ke Eropah dan ke Amerika Syarikat - dan orang-orang kita yang ingat sejarah ingat yang mengalir keluar dari Afghanistan pada 1980-an oleh bapa-bapa al Qaeda.

Anda boleh menarik garis antara itu dan 9/11, "Pengarah FBI James Comey membe-ritahu ABC News dalam satu temubual Isnin lepas. "Kami tidak akan membenarkan garis untuk diambil daripada ini datang Syria diaspora untuk masa depan 9/11."

Laits Alkhouri, seorang penganalisis counterterrorism NBC News, memberi amaran bahawa media sosial, termasuk video serangan seperti di bawah, akan digunakan untuk merekrut lebih banyak membimbangkan. "Tidak syak lagi imej [yang ini orang Amerika] dan tindakan akan digunakan dalam bahan propaganda masa depan," katanya.

Khamis lalu, Jabatan Kehakiman diminta Stephen Ponticello, seorang pendakwa atas di Bahagian Keselamatan Negara, untuk menerajui usaha Amerika Syarikat yang bertujuan untuk berpunca aliran pejuang asing yang dilanda perang Syria, ABC News melaporkan. Kebanyakan rakyat Amerika telah menyertai pemberontak berjuang Presiden Bashar al-Assad.

Syria telah menjunam ke dalam perang saudara pada tahun 2011 apabila kebangkitan aman terhadap Assad turun ke keganasan. Lebih daripada 150,000 orang terbunuh dan berjuta-juta lagi telah digantikan dalam tempoh 3 tahun sejak mula berperang. Para pem-berontak terdiri daripada gabungan longgar kumpulan pembangkang, sesetengah dari-pada mereka - seperti Al-Nusra Front - secara terbuka bergabung dengan Al-Qaeda.

American who joined Syrian rebels becomes 

first known US suicide bomber . . .

Social media posts by an Al-Qaeda affiliate claim a man named Abu Hurayra Al-Amriki (Abu Hurayra the American) blew himself up in an attack in Syria. US officials say he is the first-known American suicide bomber in the civil-war besieged country.

On Sunday, four men from the Al-Nusra Front, a jihadist organization aligned with Al-Qaeda, carried out suicide bombings on army positions in Idlib province, AFP reported. Dozens were killed or wounded, though exact numbers of casualties are still unknown.

Abu Sulayman al Muhajir, one of the top sharia officials in the Al-Nusra Front, according to The Long War Journal, tweeted about the involvement of an American man in the coordinated suicide attacks on Tuesday.

A Sunday tweet from Al-Nusra’s Twitter feed appears to show the same man - a light-skinned Caucasian - sitting with three other men and wearing a bomb vest.

According to Google Translate, the original Al-Nusra tweet translates to "# _ Front victory in cooperation with the # Hawks _ Sham performs four martyrdom operations in Mount _ # # forty Idlib."

US law enforcement and counterterrorism officials confirmed the suicide bombing to NBC News and said they have identified the American, but would not release his identity or hometown.

Syrian rebel sources based in London told NBC News that other jihadi tweets suggest the American was of Palestinian descent.

Any identity can't be confirmed until remains are recovered or examined, a US law enforcement official told CNN. But the size of the blast, which contained 17 tons of explosives, would make finding remains for identification difficult.

An anti-government activist near the bombing site confirmed the attack to the New York Times via Skype. He also said he had seen the American previously, but had no interaction with him. “I know he was an American, had an American passport and that he was with the Nusra Front,” the activist identified only as Ahmed told the Times.

Al-Nusra Front and other Islamic extremist groups in Syria have been trying to identify, recruit and train Westerners (especially Americans) to carry out attacks when they return home from fighting in the Syrian civil war, according to senior American intelligence and counterterrorism officials.

“There will come a time when those fighters are going to flow out, they're going to come back to Europe and to the United States -- and those of us who remember history remember the flowing out of Afghanistan in the 1980s by the fathers of al Qaeda.

You can draw a line between that and 9/11,” FBI Director James Comey told ABC News in an interview last Monday. “We are not going to allow a line to be drawn from this coming Syria diaspora to a future 9/11."

Laith Alkhouri, an NBC News counterterrorism analyst, warned that the social media, including videos of the attack like the one below, will be used to recruit more jihadists. “There is no doubt [the American’s] image and action will be used in future propaganda material,”he said.

Last Thursday, the Justice Department asked Stephen Ponticello, a top prosecutor in its National Security Division, to lead US efforts aimed at stemming the flow of foreign fighters to war-torn Syria, ABC News reported. Most Americans have joined the rebels battling President Bashar al-Assad.

Syria was plunged into civil war in 2011 when peaceful uprisings against Assad descended into violence. More than 150,000 people have been killed and millions more have been displaced in the three years since fighting began. The rebels are made up of a very loose coalition of opposition groups, some of whom - like Al-Nusra Front - have openly affiliated with Al-Qaeda.
