Pannier and Hillard’s Spotlight on Central Asia @ The Times of Central Asia – New Episode Now Available

As Managing Editor of The Times of Central Asia, I’m delighted that, in partnership with the Oxus Society for Central Asian Affairs, from October 19, we are the home of the Spotlight on Central Asia podcast. Chaired by seasoned broadcasters Bruce Pannier of RFE/RL’s long-running Majlis podcast and Michael Hillard of The Red Line, each fortnightly instalment will take you on a deep dive into the latest news, developments, security issues, and social trends across an increasingly pivotal region. In the new episode, available from Sunday, November 2, the team will take a deep dive into what is happening with Central Asian-Azerbaijani relations. In recent years, ties between the countries of Central Asia and Azerbaijan have grown much stronger. There are many good reasons for this and for believing this partnership will continue to expand. Join us to learn more.
