The Kazakhstani parliament ratified the Central Asian Nuclear-Weapon-Free-Zone treaty today, according to “press reports ^ru^”:http://www.gazeta.kz/art.asp?aid=122933. As I “noted last week”:http://www.totalwonkerr.net/1600/only-one-ratification-left-for-canwfz, Kazakhstan was the last remaining state out of the CANWFZ five (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan) that needed to ratify.
