Hi Steve,
How important is Uzbekistan relative to EU/West efforts of getting gas from Turkmenistan?

Welcome back Orta, Uzbekistan wouldn't be a prime supplier, but can supply "bonus" gas, that is natural gas that would add to the volumes. Its participation would also extend the linkage of the region to the East-West axis that leads to Turkey. One hears that Uzbekistan's Karimov is interested. Thanks for the latest note and best, Steve
