Metaphors and Reality

"Islamic NATO" and Kazakhstan: Will the new center of power pose a challenge to multi-vector policy? Expert opinion.

Metaphors and Reality

Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan have announced the creation of a new defense format, which has already been dubbed "Islamic NATO." However, the comparison with the North Atlantic Alliance is currently more of a political metaphor. The details of the mutual assistance mechanism have not been made public, it is unclear which attacks should trigger a collective response, and the interests of the participants themselves do not always align. Eldaniz Guseinov, co-founder of the political foresight agency Nightingale Intelligence, discusses why this alliance is needed, what role do Iran, Israel, and India play in it, and how the new security architecture could impact Kazakhstan.
