A meeting on the sidelines of an IAEA gathering signaled a new push to tie energy projects to broader economic normalization between Yerevan and Ankara. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Infrastructure Minister Davit Khudatyan met March 10 with Turkish Energy Minister Alparslan Bayraktar to review possible cooperation on electricity, nuclear matters and natural gas, Turkish officials said in social media updates. The encounter — the most senior exchange since Pashin

Russia’s once-reliable stream of export power projects across Central Asia is showing signs of drying up, with buyers increasingly turning to Chinese and European suppliers after Moscow-linked companies hit funding snags. Kazakh authorities recently handed the next phase of work at the Ekibastuz GRES-2 station to Harbin Electric International after a Russian financing package collapsed. The Chinese firm agreed to finish the unit for less than two-thirds of the price that had

Central Asia’s five republics register noticeably lighter internet limits than surrounding Eurasian powers, with Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan standing out as the region’s least restricted. A report released this week by the research outfit Cloudwards ranked 171 countries on digital access and controls, using a 0–100 scoring system. The assessment evaluated five areas: peer-to-peer file sharing, availability of adult websites, access to social networking services, the breadth of

A high‑profile trip by Gurbanguly Berdymuhamedov to the United States and Germany has been followed by abrupt changes in Turkmenistan’s diplomatic roster, with little official explanation offered. Former president Berdymuhamedov, who now heads the country’s People’s Council, travelled to the U.S. in mid‑February, according to state outlets that covered the itinerary but left many outcomes vague. Within days of his return, President Serdar Berdymuhamedov, his son, removed the

Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev told reporters he intends to maintain his country's support for the international "Board of Peace" project, arguing the initiative offers a practical way to help civilians caught up in Middle East fighting. The comments came as Tokayev answered questions during a public session tied to Kazakhstan's national referendum. Tokayev spoke with Bojan Brkic, Euronews’ Astana bureau chief, who asked whether the plan still made sense given recent

Kazakhstan’s labor authorities told lawmakers this week that the number of people working outside formal channels is far greater than published figures suggest, raising fresh concerns about pension funding and tax revenue. Labor and Social Protection Minister Askarbek Yertaev told senators that ministry estimates indicate the informal workforce may be close to three times the size reflected in statistical reports. The ministry laid out its assessment during a session on regio

Iran’s rising tensions risk more than turmoil in the Middle East; they could widen openings for militants, smugglers and recruiters to push north into Central Asia, regional officials say. With existing pressures from Afghanistan already straining borders, even a gradual weakening of Tehran’s control in its frontier provinces could magnify routes for illegal arms and drugs and give armed groups room to operate in border communities. Central Asia’s memory of spillover is vivid

Kazakhstan plans to begin officially exporting saiga horns next year, with an initial consignment of about 20 tonnes slated for Asian markets. Officials argue the move could recoup part of the cost of the species' protection and generate significant income, but conservationists and local farmers warn that opening a legal channel may revive demand and feed illegal hunting networks. The country's wildlife authorities say the stockpile — accumulated from controlled culls and con

Central Asian governments and private carriers are directing more attention — and money — to the Middle Corridor's South Caucasus leg, known as the TRIPP route, viewing it as an alternative gateway to Europe that could cut costs, shorten shipment times and reduce dependence on northern tracks. Leaders and logistics firms in Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan say the appeal is practical: the route runs from Caspian ports through Azerbaijan and Georgia to Black Sea outlets

A new cultural institution in Uzbekistan’s capital opened this week, promising to gather historical artifacts, advance academic work and strengthen a shared sense of national past. The center, sited in central Tashkent, launches as a museum, research hub and event space tied to the study of Muslim cultural history across Central Asia. Officials say its galleries will display manuscripts, art and objects connected to centuries of religious and intellectual activity, while semi

A majority of Kazakhstan’s voters approved a proposed constitution in a nationwide referendum, the government announced Monday, with roughly 73 out of every 100 eligible citizens casting ballots. The authorities reported 9,127,192 people took part; 7,954,667 cast ballots in favor—about 87 out of 100 of those who voted—while 898,099 opposed the measure and 146,558 ballots were invalidated. The draft charter would overhaul several pillars of the state. It replaces the two‑chamb

Kazakh officials said voters approved a wide-ranging rewrite of the constitution in a March 15 referendum, and leaders from the region and beyond began offering congratulations; the item was updated March 17 to include remarks from France and Pakistan. About three-quarters of registered voters took part in the nationwide ballot, and roughly seven of every eight participants backed the proposed revisions, officials reported. The measures would reorganize the country's politica
