Tuesday, December 18, 2007 Central Asia: Russian Group Storms Onto Kazakh, Uzbek TV Scenes By Gulnoza Saidazimova Kazakhstan -- Man watches TV news in Almaty hair salon, 23Jun2006 A man watches TV at a hair salon in Almaty (RFE/RL) A Russian media conglomerate's recent expansion into Central Asia has sparked considerable discussion in the region.

The pipeline will skirt the Caspian Sea from Turkmenistan to southern Russia via Kazakhstan and will be built by the end of 2010. The trilateral agreement was signed in Moscow in the presence of President Vladimir Putin of Russia and President Nursultan Nazarbayev of Kazakhstan. EU disappointment The agreement will likely disappoint the US and the EU, which have been lobbying for a rival pipeline to be built under the Caspian Sea, analysts said.
