This latest edition of OCA magazine, prepared in the shadows of the book forum. We cover Uzbek politics, compare Oscar Wilde and Chingiz Aitmatov and other things. Despite the political turmoil we are seeing in the West, Central Asia, for once, seems to be enjoying a period of relative stability which is enabling a stealthy continuation of progress that is pleasing to see. As people keep reminding me, the only certainty we have in these turbulent times is uncertainty but I do hope that where others are indecisive, Central Asia will march through and take advantage.
Enjoy the issue.
