Authoritarian administration in Turkmenistan

Jacob MacCarter

 Turkmenistan is a large desert country. This country have developed agricultural sphere, large natural gas and oil resources. The two important crops are cotton to export and wheat for domestic needs.

Turkmenistan’s horrible rights record decreased in 2015. This country has extremely repressive government and is factually closed to independent inspection. The administration of country bind strict restrictions on media and religious liberty and strain general control over access to data. Opposition encounter constant danger of government.

Authorities continue to bind informal and arbitrary bans to go on various groups, including students who want to study abroad, activists, and relatives of exiled dissidents. The authority continues to use jail and forbid to travel abroad as tools of retribution for political opposition.

Firstly,Turkmenistanian delegation was send to the annual Human Dimension Implementation Meeting of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) in 2015. The government of country continues to develop communication with foreign authorities and international organizations in 2015. Also, it did not lead to significant results for human rights legislation.

Despite the fact of international discussion, the government of President Gurbanguly Berdymukhammedov did not stop its repressive policies and practices, including the chase of religious minorities and political mavericks.

Last year in September, a coalition of some international civil community organizations released a report showing the diversity of physical and psychological pressure at the country’s scandal Ovadan Depe jail.

Contrary to the latest voting process for new political parties and the government’s commend of the 2013 elections, some international reports did not prove claims to original development. But new parties did not elect to the authority. And there also were registered violations during voting process. It is not also the secret that corruption is a usual feature for Turkmeniastanian economy and social departments.

Last elections of president of Turkmenistan  was held in 2012. Berdymukhammedov had promised that elections include opposition parties and candidates and process will follow international standards. Berdymukhammedov was chosen as a president to a second five-year term. He was elected by 97 percent of the vote and 96 percent turnout, according to the country’s election commission.

Despite plans for constitutional reform and the establishment of an ombudsman institution, President Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov and his associates enjoy unlimited power and total control over all aspects of public life in Turkmenistan.

 President of Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov and his colleagues planned to do constitutional reforms. But they continue to use unlimited power and totally control most spheres of public and private life of country. Often state government force citizens to gather for hours when the president take part in events.And these people cannot leave this place to go to the toilet.

Autority of Turkmenistan is autocratic. President Niyazov (1991-2006) and Berdimuhamedow (since 2007) have not developed reforms to improve economic, politic conditions in country.According to research of Freedom house press status in Turkmenistan is NOT FREE.

This country has the next results (data for 2015 year):
1. Freedom ratin – 7 (7 is the worst).
2. Civil liberties -7 (7 is the worst).
3. Political rights -7 (7 is the worst).
