Registan.net covers Eurasian politics and news, seeking to draw more attention to issues and news rarely covered in much depth, if at all, by Western media. Our focus is primarily on the former Soviet Republics of Central Asia and the Caucasus, with an eye to domestic politics, relations with with rest of the world, and foreign policy as well as the occasional report on pop culture. Registan.net was launched in 2003 in order to offer analysis and context to current events from the region as well as to offer original reporting. More » (Source: Registan.net)
