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 bluedomes.net/2025/05/02/tou…

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 bluedomes.net/2025/04/27/tur…

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? bluedomes.net/2025/03/31/gas…

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 bluedomes.net/2025/03/28/the…

Το #Ερεβάν διαφοροποιεί τις πηγές ενέργειας του και μειώνει την εξάρτησή του από το ρωσικό #αέριο #Αρμενια #Ρωσια #Τουρκμενιστάν

Turkmen natural gas reaching Armenia is a win-win for both countries: Ashgabat finds another much-needed export route while Yerevan diversifies its energy sources and decreases dependency on Russian gas. But the deal is far from sealed bluedomes.net/2025/03/28/the…

The Armenian authorities have a renewed interest in purchasing gas from Turkmenistan to reduce its dependency from Russia. It is not the first time such possibility has been mentioned in the last decade, but will it be different this time? bluedomes.net/2025/03/28/the…
