Tajik President’s interview to Al-Jazeera correspondent
President: Thank you. I welcome you to Tajikistan. Our independent country does not have sufficient oil and gas sources. Tajikistan's only wealth is hydropower and according to this indicator we rank eighth in the world. Tajikistan's resources and potential count over 580 billion kWh. With gaining independence on 9 September 1991, the major challenge we faced was the electricity supply to people and economy. In the first years, we had almost no access to electricity.
