Central Asia is the core region of the Asian continent and stretches from the Caspian Sea in the west to China in the east and from Afghanistan in the south to Russia in the north. It is also sometimes referred to as Middle Asia, and, colloquially, "the 'stans" (as the six countries generally considered to be within the region all have names ending with the Persian suffix "-stan", meaning "land of") and is within the scope of the wider Eurasian continent.
In modern contexts, all definitions of Central Asia include these five republics of the former Soviet Union: Kazakhstan (pop. 17 million), Kyrgyzstan (5.7 million), Tajikistan (8.0 million), Turkmenistan (5.2 million), and Uzbekistan (30 million), for a total population of about 66 million as of 2013–2014. Afghanistan (pop. 31.1 million) is also sometimes included.
Various definitions of Central Asia's exact composition exist, and not one definition is universally accepted. Despite this uncertainty in defining borders, the region does have some important overall characteristics. For one, Central Asia has historically been closely tied to its nomadic peoples and the Silk Road. As a result, it has acted as a crossroads for the movement of people, goods, and ideas between Europe, Western Asia, South Asia, and East Asia.

Central Asia is full of lands whose names end in -stan. A certain powerful North American country has a related name. How? It's not your standard explanation.

We meet ethnic Kazakhs in China seeking to return to their homeland and displaced Chechens deciding whether to return to their war-torn homeland or stay where it is peaceful.

Launched in 1980, NHK's renowned Silk Road series was the first fo...

There is a single railroad following the Silk Road route, which linked Xian, China with the Roman Empire by way of Central Asia. Due to conflicting agendas, an international train route was never established. This documentary follows Ken Ogata on a journey to bring the Silk Road to life; starting in Turfan in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, he changes trains in the westernmost part of China, and proceeds on through Kazakhstan, Kyrgzstan, Turkmenistan, Iran, and finally Turkey.
Located between China and Kazakstan, unknown by most of the world, there's Kyrgyzstan.

Ketika Hari Pelanggan Nasional dicetuskan oleh Handi Irawan di tahun 2003, banyak pihak yang langsung mendukung ide ini. Melayani pelanggan barangkali sudah menjadi kewajiban di banyak perusahaan. Namun mencoba memahami pelanggan sebagai jiwa bagi perusahaan mungkin belum berhasil diwujudkan. Boleh jadi karena kedudukan perusahaan selalu ada di atas pelanggan. Bisa juga karena mereka tidak pernah bisa memahami pelanggan. Memahami pelanggan bukanlah pekerjaan semusim. Harapan pelanggan yang selalu meningkat membuat semua pelanggan tidak pernah sepakat untuk mengatakan bahwa mereka benar-benar terpuaskan. Oleh karena itu Hari Pelanggan Nasional dapat menjadi momen yang tepat untuk memompa semangat perusahaan dalam memuaskan pelanggan. Dan BCA atau Bank Central Asia adalah salah satu peserta...

Get your free audiobook or ebook: http://yazz.space/sabk/35/en/B01DPGMO5Y/info Throughout history, Central Asia has formed an important strategic link between the East and the West and been described as the great pivot in the early-twentieth century. This book looks at the relations between the Central Asian states and major external powers. It shows how these nations have kept the fragile geopolitics of the region free of the so-called new Great Game. The volume evaluates the roles of major powers such as Russia, United States, China, Iran, and Turkey, as well as India and its silk Road Strategy. It also compares the regional geopolitics of Central Asia with its neighbour Caucasus. The study indicates how, despite limited inter-state cooperation, the region has prevented conflicts and war...
