The Turkmen President Saparmurat Niyazov suggested the UN to view the possibility of implementing the project of trans-Afghan gas pipeline in Pakistan as an effective mean of settling ordinary life in Afghanistan. This idea was voiced at his meeting with deputy of the UN Secretary General Kenzo Oshima. Governmental sources informed CNA that the Turkmen head suggests that implementation of this large-scale project will not only provide delivering energy carriers to Pakistan, and in perspective to India, but also allow to stabilize situation in Afghanistan and return the people of this country to ordinary life.
