Some points:
*That’s what, manies are not aware/sure of what they are writing and create problems. Esp. reporters, media,etc.
*You didn’t mention that you were ‘just not sure about it and ask myself a question.’ in your article. You spoke as if you were 100% sure.
*My answer to you is he decides everything.Everything comes out of his hands only.
*You can’t fit a democratic system which used in some another country in one another country. You’ll have to develop a democratic system, taking into consideration the culture, people, etc. of particular country. And that’s what is being done in Turkmenistan. You can’t or let’s say don’t have to use dem. system of US because their culture is different than Turkmeistan’s.

to Gurban:
I agree with you that every leader has many advisers who help him curry out his duties. The difference between Turkmenistan and democratic countries is that in a democracy various areas of state policy are divided between appriopriate state organs, advisors, etc. They know their duties as does the public opinion. In a totalitarian state like Turkmenistan president is FORMALLY the only person who makes almost all decisions (and in this respect you are right - it is him who rules Turkmenistan). But the problem is that the whole political system of Turkmenistan is completely untransparent. So how do you know that it is Berdymukhammedov and not people around him who make all the decisions? Do you think so just because they show him on TV all the time like Brezhniev in USSR? I don’t say that Berdymukhammedov doesn’t rule Turkmenistan, I’m just not sure about it and ask myself a question.

Understanding that the world society is unpower in Turkmenistan bedlam, I think, one of the corestone reasons is the links between the oil resourses of this country and the world’s leaders’ life prosperety.

This is ridiculous.Of course he has the advisors which is crucial for each and every leader in the world. Do you think that all other presidents act on their own, never. They have their advisors. The true leader is not the who does everything himself alone but who makes others do and controls them. So no need to discuss about Who Rules Turkmenistan? The answer is simple Gurbanguly Berdimuhammedow does.
