http://www.itar-tass.com/en/c154/235830.html ASHGABAD, September 29 (Itar-Tass) — Trade turnover between Russia and Turkmenistan reached some two billion U.S. dollars in January-August 2011. The vice-president of the Russian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Alexander Rybakov, described it as a good result. However, he told a two-day economic forum that opened in the Turkmen capital on Wednesday that the figure still didn’t reflect the huge potential of Russian-Turkmen economic interaction. A business delegation from Russia, including entrepreneurs from Moscow, St. Petersburg, Omsk, Saratov, Chelyabinsk and other parts of Russia has brought cooperation proposals to Ashgabad. “Relations between Turkmenistan and Russia make the weather in the entire Central Asia. We fully share this assessment given by the presidents of Russia and Turkmenistan during their last meeting,” the head of the Russian delegation said at the forum. Alexander Rybakov, the vice-president of the Russian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, said that Russian companies were participating in more than 30 projects in Turkmenistan. Another twenty projects are ready to be launched in the sphere of hi-tech production. About a hundred proposals made by Turkmen agencies and entrepreneurs are in the process of development. Priority areas of cooperation as set forth by the sides include the power sector, textiles, the light industry, raw materials, building materials, education and tourism. “We are focused on innovative projects. The future of our relations lies with them,” Rybakov emphasized.
Moscow is quite likely to use the Karabakh trump card against British Petroleum to frustrate the Azerbaijan-Turkey natural gas pipeline deal, an Azerbaijani expert said. Speaking about Russia's plans on BP in an interview with the Azerbaijani news website SalamNews, political analyst Zardush Alizade said Moscow has no real lever to hamper the company's project. "But they have such a serious lever as Karabakh. They may push the button at any moment to create instability, suspending the project," he said, adding that Russia would not be disappointed in case Turkmenistan refuses to join the project. "Russia's main goal is to prevent Europe from accessing the Central Asian gas reserves. As for Azerbaijan, it is already connected with Europe thanks to its oil and natural gas. At the same time Azerbaijan wishes to increase its oil export to Europe via the Turkish territory," he said. It comes after recent reports that BP is planning to build a 1,300 km pipeline to make its natural gas accessible to Europe. The pipeline is expected to connect the Shah Deniz natural gas mine with Turkey and the West. Tert.am Russia's Hermitage cancels exposition in Japan over nuclear fearshttp://www.monstersandcritics.com/news/europe/news/article_1665768.php/Russia-s-Hermitage-cancels-exposition-in-Japan-over-nuclear-fears Sep 29, 2011, 7:50 GMT Moscow - Officials at Russia's national museum the Hermitage cancelled an art exposition planned in Japan because of fears of radioactivity from the damaged Fukushima nuclear power station, the Interfax news agency reported on Thursday. The traveling display of rare glass sculptures from Russia's Tsarist era was to have opened its doors in December in the city Takasaki, some 230 kilometres from Fukushima. The artworks had been on display in other Japanese cities including the capital Tokyo, some 20 kilometres more distant from Fukushima than Takasaki, the report said. The Hermitage's exhibition Glass Admired by the Russian Imperial Court contains 327 items from the 16th through the early 20th century. The display began touring Japan in July.
