Moreover, the Russian Ministry was broadly considered a dumping ground for incompetent or disgraced diplomats. Russia's declaration of sovereignty in June 1990 and the subsequent appointment of Andrei Kozyrev as minister did not change much in the traditional relationship between the Union and the republic MFAs. However, with the dissolution of the Union, interrepublic talks abruptly assumed a new guise as negotiations between the sovereign states and the role of the Russian MFA accordingly increased dramatically.
However, with the decline of the Soviet-Russian empire and the ensuing anarchy, these conflicts floated back to the surface. Thus, Tajikistan has substantial territorial claims on Samarkand and Bukhara, which are currently part of Uzbekistan, there are disagreements about the division of water resources between Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan is apprehensive of Kazakhstan's territorial ambitions and so on. The territorial disputes in Caucasus are much more serious. The conflicts in Georgia (Abkhazia) and between Armenia and Azerbaijan (Nagorno-Karabak) have only cooled (relatively) down because of Russian intervention (Russia has intervened militarily in Georgia and has supported Azerbaijan's 'new' political regime).

This soft power provides Turkey a significant influence. However, cultural ties between Turkey and Central Asia are not the only explanation for their particular relationship. These cultural ties have been used by Turkey for its own economic expansion into Central Asia.
