I would like to learn about Tajikistan. 
 Sure. Tajikistan is in Central Asia. It used to be part of the Soviet Union. Would you like information on it's history? 
 That would be great! 
 Ok. Bobojon Ghafurov (interesting name!), Tajikistan's 1st Secretary of the Communist Party from 1946-1956 was the only politician of significance outside of the country during the Soviet Era. As a consequence of the conflict and Soviet policies, Tajikistan suffered a famine and many people died because of that. 
 Great information! I did not know that. What cam you tell me about the politics there? 
 The only information that I have about their politics right now is that Russia backed the pro-government faction and had troops deployed from the Commonwealth of Independent States to guard the Tajikistan-Afghan border. 
 That's ok. Can you tell me anything about transportation? 
 In 2012, the presidents of Tajikistan, Afghanistan and Iran signed an agreement to make roads and railways as well as oil, gas and water pipelines to connect the 3 countries. 
 Anything else you can tell me? 
 Sure. During WW 2, between 4% and 8% of Tajikistan's 1.5 million citizens were killed. The GPD of Tajikistan increased at a rate of 9.6% over the period of 2000-2007 according to the World Bank data. 
 Thank you for all the great information! 
 You are welcome. Have a great day!
