Asia 360°
Asia 360°
What do you know about Central Asia? International media often describe it as just an underdeveloped former part of the Soviet Union that is a breeding ground for Islamic radicalism, but the truth goes much deeper. From the religious diversity of Kyrgyzstan’s “Switzerland,” the small mountain town of Karakol, to Kazakhstan’s happening metropolis, Almaty, this series dispels common myths about Central Asia and introduces you to the variety of people, issues, cultures, and cuisines that define this fascinating, complex region. Hosted by Radio Azattyq TV producer Adilet Bektursunov.
