Politics/Saiasat What do Kazakhs think of us Uzbeks?
I've heard from almost all of my Kazakh colleagues that they think of Uzbekistan as an "underdeveloped country". It seemed like they meant "superior". When I asked why, they said they were taught that way at schools, and the media actually portrays it as such. Is that actually true? How do you guys see us politically? (Except for food and tourism).
How do you feel about an EU-like union either with Turkic speaking states or Central Asian states, if we talk hypothetically.
Edited: In Uzbekistan, Kazakhs are perceived as the closest allies and are often called "brother-nation".
