Niyazov of Arabia
The laying of the foundation stone for Saudi Arabia’s expansive new embassy complex in Ashgabat on Tuesday offers a glimpse into the current direction of Turkmenistan’s engagement with the international community. As NewsCentralAsia reported, the new grounds of the embassy will cover an area of 15,000 square metres and built in the centre of the city, suggesting that the mission will be a high-profile one. The ceremony was attended by a prominent Turkmen delegation and accompanied by the standard saluations that mark such events:
“Ovezgeldy Atayev, chairman of the Turkmen parliament, Reshit Meredov, foreign minister of Turkmenistan, and Orazmurat Esenov, governor of Ashgabat, participated in the ceremony, illustrating strong support of the Turkmen government for the project.
Senior diplomats from the foreign office of Saudi Arabia were also present on the occasion. They would make frequent trips to Turkmenistan to oversee the progress of the project.< ...>
Reshit Meredov, foreign minister of Turkmenistan, said that President Niyazov had sent his personal good wishes for the successful implementation of the embassy complex project.
Meredov said that the embassy complex would be a permanent symbol of the eternal friendship of the people of both the countries. He also praised the efforts of Ambassador Abdul Aziz Al-Ghadeer in strengthening the relations between the two countries.”
Turkmenistan’s Islamic identity has invariably affected relations with the Gulf kingdom, although this relationship has been marked as much by diffidence as shared values. In this respect, dealings with Turkey have proved far more fruitful, and notably work on the Saudi embassy will be carried out by the Ankara-based Bozdemir Construction Company, which also has offices in Ashgabat.
To date, visible Saudi diplomacy has tended to take the form of aid and assistance, such as when a senior delegation from the the Saudi royal family visited in 2003 and donated $100,000 to a Turkmen charity, to reinforce “friendly relations” as it was then reported. More recently, in November 2005, Saudi Ambassador Abdul Aziz Ibrahim Al-Ghadeer invited President Saparmurat Niyazov to an extraordinary summit of the Organization of the Islamic Conference.
If, to date, detecting the course of Turkmen economic diplomacy has depended largely on observing the country’s unpredictable negotiation over the export of gas and the signing of exploration deals with Western firms, the larger picture has not been so clear. Evidently, it has become clear that the sense of international legitimacy which Ashgabat craves will most likely be found in the community of Islamic states with which it has beejn enjoying deepened relations. As the OIC’s charter itself states, the purpose of the organisation is to “promote solidarity among all member states” and “safeguard their dignity, independence and national rights”. Such moderation between mutual solidarity and inherent respect for sovereignty suits the elite of the culturally Muslim state of Turkmenistan down to the ground at this stage of its national development. In this respect, the enthusiastically supported building of a Saudi embassy in Ashgabat signifies Turkmenistan’s bid
