Abstract
Nowadays, Central Asia can be considered as the "Heartland", that is to say the center of geopolitical positioning, given the abundance of natural resources in the region. Indeed this area, particularly Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan, benefits from oil and natural gas reserves among the largest in the world, which explains the timorous attitude of Western countries toward Central Asian leaders. As we will study later on, the perspectives of human rights in the region are not as promising as those of the economy. From the tsarist conquest to the setting up of the Soviet regime, Central Asian people have submitted to strong powers. Gorbatchev's perestroika and then the collapse of the Soviet Union which led to the independence of the five former Soviet Republics gave big hopes to the population of this region.
