Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is exuding hubris following a Central Asian tour that featured the opening of a second natural gas pipeline connecting Turkmenistan and Iran.
Ahmadinejad’s January 4-6 trip took him first to Tajikistan and then to Turkmenistan. Upon his return to Tehran, Ahmadinejad noted that both Central Asian nations were "determined" to increase cooperation with Iran.
"[Our] three countries and the three governments are determined to further enhance their ties in different spheres," the Fars news agency quoted Ahmadinejad as saying. "During the visit and talks with the Tajik president [Imomali Rahmon] we agreed on carrying out new projects, 150 Iranian companies are carrying out numerous engineering projects in Tajikistan and they are using Iranian technology and equipment."
