Russia and China took a step forward in their negotiations to build a
pipeline that would carry natural gas from Russia to China, transecting the
sacred Ukok Plateau. This week the two countries' companies agreed on a

announcement by Gazprom Deputy CEO Alexander Medvedev. See the complete

pipeline route through the UNESCO World Heritage Site and the sacred lands
