 “Niyazov does not need anyone to witness the chaos he has caused in the country. He has isolated Turkmenistan from the rest of the world and is attempting to distract the international community with his meaningless pronouncements and empty promises. For the time being he has succeeded. But today, thanks in large part to the actions of the democratic opposition, the world has seen Niyazov’s true face”, says Nurmuhammed Khanamov, former Turkmen ambassador to Turkey and Israel, and now one of the leaders of the Turkmen Popular Democratic Movement (NDDT). In an interview with PRIMA’s correspondent Azgar Ishkildin, Mr. Khanamov, who is now living in the West, spoke about the arrested leader of the Turkmen opposition, Boris Shikhmuradov, the activities of opposition parties, and about the role of Niyazov’s regime in the drugs trade.

 Dear Mr. President,Before the bombs begin to fall, leaving us no time for calm reflections, it seems only natural to step back and try to assess the overall picture as it develops. No, we are not joining those who seek to dissuade you from taking a military action in Iraq. On the contrary, we think that this action is long overdue, and that Iraqi people were left to suffer from the evil regime of Saddam Hussein for too long.
