SUBJECT: TURKMENISTAN'S SUPREME COUNCIL FOR SCIENCE AND

REF: A. ASHGABAT 269
B. ASHGABAT 270
Classified By: Charge Richard Miles, reasons 1.4 (B) and (D).
1. (U) Sensitive but unclassified. Not for public Internet.
2. (SBU) Deputy Chairman of the Supreme Council for Science
and Technology, Akjeren Allanurova, said in a meeting on May
12 that her organization is interested in collaboration with
the following U.S. agencies under the Embassy Science Fellow
Program (ESFP) (Ref. A):
-- National Science Foundation, because its mission is
similar to that of the Supreme Council for Science and
Technology, especially in the areas of computers and
information sciences, economic sciences, financing research,
and preparation of scientists;
-- U.S. Geological Survey, especially in monitoring and
mitigation of earthquakes, general geological matters,
hydrotechnology and in the oil and gas field; and
-- U.S. Department of Agriculture, as the Supreme Council
works jointly with the Agriculture University (Ref. B) on
agriculture projects and research.
3. (SBU) COMMENT: Post has reported in the past that the
Supreme Council for Science and Technology has expressed the
desire for U.S. experts to visit Turkmenistan in order that
more Turkmen can benefit from the interaction, since only
limited numbers of Turkmen can participate in U.S. programs
abroad at any given time. Akjeren has mentioned many times
in the past that she is also interested in exploring the
issue of renewable energy resources. Post would welcome a
Fellow from any of the U.S. agencies listed above to work
with the Supreme Council next year, and welcomes questions
that would assist OES in determining a good fit for the
program for the 2010 session of the Program. END COMMENT.
