TURKMENISTAN: TURKMEN OIL AND GAS SHOW OPENS WITH RUSSIAN FOCUS.(Oil and Gas of Turkmenistan 2004)(Brief Article)

IPR Strategic Business Information Database, November, 2004

The "Oil and Gas of Turkmenistan 2004" exhibition opened in Ashgabat on 15 November with a heavy Russian presence, ITAR-TASS reported, as state-run Russian gas monopolist Gazprom occupied half the display space. Turkmen President Saparmurat Niyazov hailed cooperation with Russia in remarks delivered at a Turkmen-Russian oil-and-gas conference in Ashgabat the same day, the Turkmen government's website reported. Niyazov said: "We have been and are still attaching great importance to developing cooperation with our Russian partners. A striking example of this, perhaps, is a long-term agreement with Gazprom on delivering Turkmen gas to Russia." This year marks the beginning of a 25-year Russian-Turkmen gas-export agreement. DK
