Hello! Can you tell me about the economy of Turkmenistan? 
 Sure. Turkmenia is in South-central Asia. Most of the economy comes from oil and a big part of the oil is produced in Turkmenistan is refined in Turkmenbashi and Seidi refineries.

 Do you have any information on the history of Turkmenistan? 
 Yes. The Turkmenia are inhabited by the Indo-Iranians. By the late 30's, the reorganization of agriculture destroyed what had remained of the nomadic lifestyle of the Turkmenistan and Moscow controlled political life. 
 Good to know. What other history can you share? 
 The Turkmenistan played its designated economic role within the Soviet Union and remained outside the course of major world events during the latter half of the century. 
 Are there any other facts about the country you think are worth sharing?
