Travelling to Ashgabat the capital of Turkmenistan, Day 1

A hotel in Ashgabat city

Web: Our Nomadic Life – We visited Ashgabat, Turkmenistan on a work trip. We hardly had any knowledge about this country (did not know even the name of the capital and where it is located), We managed to get some information via the web but it got us a bit worried as the country seems to be known as the North Korea of Central Asia!!!

This was an extremely rare opportunity for us to visit the country and fortunately our organization could issue us two invitation letters, as it is very difficult to enter Turkmenistan. In all, we stayed 5 nights in Ashgabat.

We flew from Jakarta to Ashgabat via Dubai. Ashgabat airport was really clean and shiny like a 5 star-hotel. But we hardly saw anyone there. Surprisingly, almost 30% of the passengers in our flight were Japanese and they seemed to be traveling on an organized tour. We wondered why they have chosen Turkmenistan for their holiday destination but we did not have a courage to ask them…

An Introduction to Turkmen’s Bibliography (AST)

Almaz_Yazberdiev-Director of Library AST

 While many of the ethnolinguistic groups of the former Soviet sphere find themselves separated from a number of their coethnics by new or old international borders, perhaps none are so divided as the Turkmen, with substantial and long-standing populations in Turkmenistan, Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan, and smaller populations in Pakistan, Turkey, the North Caucasus region (the Trukhmens) and, according to some ethnographers, in China (the Salars). With this in mind, some attempt may be made in the future to cover Turkmen-related publications from beyond Turkmenistan’s current borders, using sources such as the Turkish State Archives’ Irak Türkleri bibliyografyasi = A bibliography of Iraqi Turks (Ankara, 1994), the “bibliographic summary” on the Trukhmens included in A. P. Potseluevskii’s Dialekty turkmenskogo iazyka (Ashkhabad, 1936) and Araz Mohammad Sarly’s 2-volume bibliography of the Turkmen-inhabited Golestan/Gulistan region of Iran (Gorgan, 1377-1379, i.e., 1998-2000). A few dozen such publications (mostly Iraqi and Iranian books from the 1960s and 1970s) are listed on pages 218-230 of Arap grafikasynda neshir edilen tu̇rkmenche kitaplar.

Turkmenistan considers 12-year education plan

Central Asia Online:

ASHGABAT – Turkmenistan’s Education Ministry is considering a 12-year compulsory education system to replace its present-day 10-year system, a plan that has both strengths and weaknesses, observers say.

President Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov mentioned the initiative at a conference with educators in August, saying that the new system could take effect as early as the 2013-2014 school year.

This is not the first education reform initiative proposed in the past few years, political scientist Orazmamet Kaparov told Central Asia Online. In 2007, the nine-year schooling system introduced under former President Saparmurat Niyazov returned to the Soviet norm of 10 years and the two-year system of higher education Niyazov had enacted reverted to four years.

“If the Turkmen president sees his plans through now and succeeds in replacing the 10-year schooling system with a 12-year one, he will have every chance to be recognised as a serious reformer,” Kaparov said.

The plans also call for changes in what the students study. For example, they will focus more on science, math, languages and history and give less attention to the Rukhnama, a book of collected wisdom and philosophy put together by Niyazov.

Turkmenistan: Doing Away with Dual Citizenship?

Dual Citizenship

EURASIANT:

Russian President Vladimir Putin is a judo black belt who likes to shoot a dagger-eyed stare at underlings who vex him. But it seems that the Kremlin’s resident tough guy is in the process of getting drilled by a certain dentist from Turkmenistan.

On March 11, Putin huddled on the phone with Turkmenistan’s leader, Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov to examine the general state of bilateral relations. According to the Russian presidential website, Putin paid “special attention … to the situation concerning people with dual-citizenship [in Turkmenistan].”

As Turkmenophiles well know, tens of thousands of Turkmen citizens also hold Russian passports thanks to a 1993 dual-citizenship agreement. So it’s no surprise that Putin is interested in the issue. Turkmenistan over the years has made life difficult for its Russian “dual” citizens, and Turkmen officials have periodically made attempts to terminate the practice, including a major push a decade ago.
