Over at the Eurasian Transition Group Web site, Mr. Laubsch has translated into English and posted Rakhat Aliev's interview with Austria's Profil Magazine. In it, Mr. Aliev states that his nomination of Mr. Nazarbaev to King of Kazakhstan last year was an ironic statement, which I personally missed along with a bunch of others. Or.

Thanks Michael, for the efforts made, and on the P.D.Q., too!
Update: Another interview with Mr. Aliev by Nevasimayeta Gazeta and published by Ferghana.ru
