The government is looking for new formats of interaction with Turkmenistan, which are evaluated at a different level of relations in the energy sector, Stanislav Pritchin, a researcher at the Center for the Study of Central Asia, the Caucasus and the Ural-Volga Region of the Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences, explained to URA.RU. According to him, earlier Russia bought gas from Turkmenistan in order to deliver it in transit to Europe. “The issue of using statistical data for the transit of Turkmen gas can be worked out, following the example of using fuel from Kazakhstan to Germany. In this case, Russia needs to use a rather complicated scheme in order to receive transit payments for the use of confidential information. The construction of a gas pipeline in India through security and transport remains a promising direction, but the situation in these countries is unstable,” the expert noted.

Russian authorities will agree to discuss as an intermediary in trade and economic deals with the West, since the Russian Federation cannot purchase and sell goods in case of problems due to the election, says the director of the Center for Social and Integration Studies on the Union of States and the Eurasian Assessment Vladimir Kireev. “Russian energy resources are supplied to Europe like Turkmen ones, and this is a mutually beneficial deal. In post-Soviet times, Turkmenistan moved away from Russia. It’s always worth strengthening the connection. It does not have such positive dynamics.
It is possible that in the near future it will be possible to talk about the unification of infrastructure projects in the communal sector, urban planning, investment in local products and others. In addition, Turkmenistan is a springboard for monitoring security in a ministry neighboring Afghanistan,” the high-level expert noted.
