Newspaper The Times of Central Asia

The Times of Central Asia (TCA) is an English-language newspaper based in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. In 1999, TCA launched its Internet edition and is currently the only site offering extensive and constantly updated coverage of news in Central Asia. The site--www.times.kg--is an essential resource for international, English-speaking professionals who have an interest in the region.

Variety defines Central Asia but is often an obstacle when searching for news on the Internet. TCA Online defines Central Asia as the five Central Asian republics of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan, as well as Afghanistan, China, India, Iran, Nepal, Pakistan, Russia, and to a certain extent, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Turkey.

At TCA, our philosophy is that Central Asia is a global region undergoing parallel changes, sharing many common problems, and facing similar challenges. We do, of course, acknowledge the specificity of each country but aim to put those identities in perspective for the sake of a deeper understanding of Central Asia.
