Tishchenko noted that 'a change in the region's leaders' is just around the corner. 'It is quite possible that this process will not be peaceful, all the more so since Central Asian countries already find themselves in a conflict over the Fergana Valley, which is the region's only bread basket,' he explained, adding that 'the Afghan conflict could also spread to Central Asia.'"
