Berdymukhammedov is an autocrat and thief, looking constantly to fatten his pocket. In this sense he is like Niyazov, although without the cult of personality, yet. I was amazed by the naivete of the RFERL article on the satellite dishes - authors, politicians, and critics need to have relevant expectations regarding Turkmenistan. Its not exactly a place where liberals are bred. Good stuff here, you did hit the nail right on the head.
