Due to economic crisis the importance of Central Asian energy resources dramatically increased in the world. There are a lot of big players like Russia, China, the USA and European states which are still interested in Central Asia, weaving new strategies. So, confrontations between above-mentioned powers around Central Asian energy resources potential still exist and become more extensive.
