"АФПАК и трансоксианская пятерка: станет ли эта Центральная Азия большой"

The "трансоксианская пятерка" seems to be the five Soviet Central Asian countries of the former Soviet Union. But I'm not aware of any English term equivalent to "трансоксианский."

Anyone?

Transoxiana Found it -- it comes from the Latin. See here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transoxiana. Somebody suggest it and I'll put it in the glossary.

Note from asker:
"Transocean" was my first thought, but that brings "Transoceania" to mind -- and that's in a different part of the world.

James, you're free to add whatever you think useful, but if the context covers more than the last century history, then "Trans-Oxus region" will fit
Note from asker:
That's actually what I did in the title, but I think it's a good thing to have in the glossary for future reference. Also, the author has a paragraph where he compares the Latin and Arabic names for the region, so I had to address it in the body of the text.
Peer comment(s):

agree Natalie : Transoxania (Transoxiana) is the Central Asia historical region including 5 of the former... - smth like that

Central Asia

Maybe I don't catch enough what do you want but why don't you want to use C.A.?
