Turkmenistan: Government restricts women`s appearance and individual freedoms. 2022. Website. www.loc.gov/item/global-legal-monitor/2022-06-16/turkmenistan-government-imposes-restrictions-on-womens-appearance-and-personal-freedoms/. The new Turkmen President Sear Berdymukhamedov has implemented several measures that restrict the few freedoms of citizens. Hopes for change following the father-son power shift earlier this year have been dashed by new laws focused on micromanaging people`s lives in Turkmenistan. What is true and what is the myth of the Turkmen city? Here is an overview of Turkmenistan`s laws and rules, based on our vision of the country. Turkmenbashi, smiling leader of Turkmenistan The Oguzkhan Presidential Palace is the president`s main residence/workplace and is located on Independence Square in Ashgabat. The various rooms of the palace are used to receive foreign leaders and sign presidential decrees. Former President Saparmurat Niyazov owned a private residence in an official residence in Arshabil, a city 28 kilometers from Ashgabat. [6] The signed documents contain the laws “on the introduction of amendments and additions to the Criminal Code of Turkmenistan and its approval in a new edition”, “on the ratification of the Treaty between Turkmenistan and the Republic of Kazakhstan on the establishment of the border between Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan and the delimitation of areas adjacent to fishing zones in the Caspian Sea”, “on the ratification of the Agreement between the Government of Turkmenistan and the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan on the regime of the border between Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan”.
Requirements for presidential candidates of Turkmenistan include:[5] The story goes that while attending a televised ceremony, Turkmenbashi saw a woman with gold teeth, thought it was inappropriate and told her publicly. He kindly sent her to his favorite dentist, the Minister of Health (now president), to have her gold teeth replaced with a set of white enamel. Although apparently not explicitly against the law, the golden teeth fell out of favor with the Turkmen elite during the Turkmen era. How are the preferences, we can not argue. If an imam refused to follow this order, the mosque was demolished, and since more than 90% of Turkmenistan`s population was Muslim, it was a rule that was hard to ignore. It is clear that the President of Turkmenistan had a very high opinion of himself. These laws will soon be published in the official Turkmen media. Turkmen laws now seem normal to the people who live there, but they are still a little strange to those of us who don`t. Here are some crazy Turkmen laws you probably don`t know about.
One of outgoing President Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov`s most bizarre laws is that you can`t have black cars in the capital, Ashgabat. Even dirty cars are not allowed. For this reason, there are also a number of car washes on the outskirts of the city so that people can have their cars cleaned before entering the city. You may be wondering if the Turkmen president is crazy? Some of the first strange laws that were introduced occurred under Turkmenistan`s first president, Saparmurat Niyazov. In the event of the death or resignation of the President, the President of the Assembly is legally appointed Acting President, with elections taking place no later than 60 days after the offence. That never happened; In 2006, when Turkmenistan`s only presidential vacancy occurred due to Niyazov`s death, the State Security Council of Turkmenistan transferred the right to serve as President on an ad hoc basis to the First Deputy Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers. The requirement that a President-in-Office does not have the right to stand for the Presidency has also been dropped. The President`s Security Service (Prezidentiniň howpsuzlyk gullugy) is responsible for the protection and security of the President.
It was established in November 1990 and is a direct reporting body of the President of Turkmenistan. In the early 1990s, the Presidential Security Service was removed from the National Security Committee and transformed into an independent body. In 2013, seven years after Niyazov`s death, Ruhnama was finally removed from public schools in Turkmenistan. The following year, in 2014, the current president of Turkmenistan, Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, declared that all Turkmen universities would no longer test their students for their knowledge of Ruhnama.It that the strange laws in Turkmenistan would end. Gulgeldy Annaniyazov, an opposition leader in the Niyazov government, was arrested in 1995 and released in 1999 following a presidential amnesty decree.
