  1. Not just Azerbaijan, another big Caspian natural gas country is Turkmenistan. Turkmenistan is so rich in natural gas, that for a long period of time, gas, electricity, and water were all free of charge. They also used that wealth from all the natural gas to build tons of marble structures in the capital city Ashgabat (they actually have a Guinness World Record for it). Under late leader Saparmurat Niyazov aka Turkmenbashi, he built a marble monument honoring the country's neutrality with a spinning golden statue of him at the top. It spun so that it would always be facing the Sun, symbolizing that his era was the golden era. Like Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan has pipelines connecting its natural gas to neighboring countries like the Trans-Afghan pipeline connecting Turkmenistan through Afghanistan and Pakistan to India and the Central Asia-China pipeline connecting Turkmenistan to Xinjiang (they also have pipelines to Iran). As part of the pipeline from Baku through Turkey at 6:00, a subsea pipeline has been proposed to connect Azerbaijan to Turkmenistan. Because of the natural gas, Western leaders aren't so keen on criticizing the Turkmen and Azerbaijani leaders when compared to criticizing me. Why? Because we're not rich in the specific resources (oil) they want Back in the 70s when the country was still a Soviet republic, the Soviets were drilling in the northern portion of the country looking for an oil field. When they found a natural gas pocket, the drill suddenly collapsed into a crater. Because of the concern of poisonous gases being released, they decided to set it on fire....that fire is still burning to this day. And the problem of poisonous gases being released is still an issue, thus in addition to saving the environment it's been decided to seal the crater. As cool as the crater nicknamed the Door to Hell is, it's not so cool when you have health issues because of it like the locals

  2.  @deliriumsd142  But not much oil. Yes we have lots of resources, but the US wants a very specific one. And we're not dropping the nuclear program as its our way of protecting ourselves from the imperialists next door
