| Tiivistelmä: | A new version of Central Asia's 19th-century Great Game is being fought over oil and gas. Russia and America are sparring, while energy-hungry Asia looks on. The newly built marble palace of Turkmenistan's President Suparmurat Niyasov stands proud in the centre of Ashkhabad. But all around it are poverty , urban decay and squalor. Just behind the high walls of the $60 million extravagance - it's the President's fourth palace - Turkmen women hawk secondhand shoes, tomato paste and family heirlooms, just to make ends meet. |
