Instead of renewing its aging flight of Soviet-era combat aircraft with Russian jets, Uzbekistan has reportedly turned to China. Bad news for Moscow.

It���s the end of August, and that can only mean one thing: the anniversary of the battle of Manzikert (1071), when the Seljuks under Alp Arslan defeated the Byzantines and captured emperor Romanos IV

The role of Ormon Khan and the Kyrgyz in Kenesary Khan’s death remains controversial. Earlier this year a Kyrgyz singer’s apology for the death of the last Kazakh khan cost him a fine. Now President Japarov criticised an obscure video on the topic

Very interesting and contains valuable historical background (as is usual from Blue Domes). Video of Kenesary Khan sparks controversy in Kyrgyzstan https://t.co/nLIgRjZNlh via @Blue_Domes

[Blue Domes @Blue_Domes]

An obscure video on Kenesary Khan, with a controversial account of his death at the hands of the Kyrgyz and their alleged collusion with the Russians, has prompted a response by Kyrgyzstan's president

トルクメニスタンの国家指導者の地域ツアー https://t.co/dO4vnglWhT

La visita del líder nacional turkmeno a Kazajstán, Kirguistán y Uzbekistán tres semanas después de la cumbre UE-Asia Central, a la que asistió su hijo y presidente, pone de manifiesto una vez más quién es el que toma las decisiones en el país

One of the highlights of the Turkmen leader’s regional tour was the visit of his daughter Oguljahan to Uzbekistan, where she was hosted by the Uzbek president’s own daughter Saida. Another step in Oguljahan’s recent sudden rise to prominence

The National Leader of Turkmenistan visited the grave of Islam Karimov during his trip to Samarkand today. The mausoleum is usually a must in the itinerary of foreign leaders visiting the city, highlighting Karimov’s role in today’s Uzbekistan

The fact that the Turkmen National Leader’s visit to Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan took place less than three weeks after the EU-Central Asia summit, attended my his son and president, highlights once again who is the country’s decision-maker

Armenia y Turkmenistán se encuentran negociando la venta de gas turkmeno. Ereván ya importó gas de Turkmenistán en los 90, pero esta vez sería mediante un intercambio a través de Irán. ¿Tendrán éxito las negociaciones?

[Blue Domes @Blue_Domes]

In 2017 the Armenian Prime Minister talked about the possibility of importing Turkmen gas via Iran. But back then the relations between Ashgabat and Teheran were hitting a new low. Things between Turkmenistan and Iran are very different now
