I believe that after dictator Niyazov's death the country will slowly turn to at least basic liberties. Just by reading www.turkmenistan.ru - an official news Web site that used to promote Turkmenbashi's regime when he was alive - I could tell that positive changes are to come. First of all, interim President G. Berdymukhammedov announced that he will build a clean water factory in the country's northern city of Dashoguz, which has the saltiest water in the republic. The Web site said that "a need to build such a factory has been urgent long ago.." Nothing like this could have been said if Turkmenbashi had been alive. "The country is in perfect condition!" the news agency would report. The fact that interim president intends to introduce reforms in education, pension system, agriculture and health care systems is already a sign of future changes. We do have problems. In fact, many problems. Everybody knows it. I'm very hopeful that things will change for the better. I am a citizen of Turkmenistan, currently staying abroad due to several reasons.
