Muslim Fighting
Boosts Aliyah

Jerusalem (JTA) — In-
creased ethnic tension in the
Muslim republics of the
former Soviet Union could
lead to a new surge in
aliyah, according to Jewish
Agency Chairman Simcha
Dinitz.
About 1,500 immigrants
from the region are expected
to arrive in Israel during the
month of September, and
Mr. Dinitz indicated that the
upward trend is likely to
continue, given the shaky
political and economic
climate in the republics.
One indication of the tense
situation is the fact that 95
percent of the 180,000 Jews
in these areas hold approved
family reunification re-
quests — the first step in the
aliyah process. During the
past two and a half years,
62,300 people have im-
migrated from the Muslim
republics.
Mr. Dinitz noted that Ta-
jikistan, home to 12,000
Jews, is on the verge of civil
war, while in Kyrgystan,
where 8,000 Jews live, a law
was recently enacted that
prohibits anyone not fluent
in the Kyrgiz language from
holding a public or civil ser-
vice post.
The president of Ta-
jikistan, Rakhman Nabiyev,
an old Communist leader,
was forced to resign follow-
ing a week of violent pro-
tests. The leader of the oppo-
sition Democratic Party,
Dost Mohammed Dost, said
the country could expect
more bloodshed in the
internecine fighting.
The country's woes are
further compounded by op-
position from the nascent
and increasingly powerful
Islamic Renewal Party.
In Azerbaijan, Jews have
suffered through the pro-
tracted war with the Arme-
nians, Mr. Dinitz said.
Direct flights have eased
the aliyah process, he said,
and noted that the agency is
pursuing ways to add more
routes using local airlines.
The agency just signed an
agreement with Uzbekistan
Airways, and the inaugural
flight, from Tashkent to Tel
Aviv, was to arrive early
Wednesday morning with 35
new immigrants, Mr. Dinitz
said.
While the situation seems
to be deteriorating in the
Muslim republics, there are
indications that at least
some of the republics seek
improved relations with
Israel.
In the first-ever state visit

to Israel by the head of a
Muslim republic,
Kazakhstan's prime min-
ister, Sergei Tereschenko,
pressed for cooperation bet-
ween the two countries.
During his brief visit this
week, Mr. Tereschenko said
that Kazakhstan could
benefit from Israeli know-
how in the agricultural and
technological sectors, but
noted that his country had
many things to teach Israel
about desalination tech---
niques.
Mr. Tereschenko vowed
that his country would not
sell any of the nuclear hard-
ware it inherited when the
Soviet Union collapsed.
"Nuclear weapons will not .
be sold, not to Iran or any
other country. Kazakhstan
is peace-loving. Israel has
nothing to worry about," the
prime minister said.

Jews Urge

No Plane Sale

New York (JTA) — The
organized American Jewish
community is strongly urg -
ing President Bush not to
allow Saudi Arabia to buy as
many as 72 sophisticated
F-15 fighter aircraft.
But the community has _
not decided what course of
action to take if the presi-
dent decides to go ahead
with the sale, valued at $5
billion.
The president is legally
required to give Congress 30
days' notice of an arms sale
and the chance to vote it
down. Sources say formal
notification of the sale could
come within the next week.
In a statement the Con- •
ference of Presidents of
Major American Jewish
Organizations warned that
such a sale "would erode
Israel's qualitative edge,
upset the military balance in
the region and necessarily
intensify the Middle East
arms race."
The prospective sale was
also opposed by the National
Jewish Community Rela-
tions Advisory Council. Its
chair, Maynard Wishner of
Chicago, urged Bush in a
letter to delay its submission
to Congress and to "work in-
stead to implement the
guidelines that you yourself
proposed requiring restraint
in the production and supply
of arms to the Middle East."
Both groups also asked
Democratic presidential
nominee Bill Clinton to op-
pose such a sale.
