Hello Turkmenistan

Turkmenistan is an interesting place.

If you plan to visit, make sure to shave first.

In the capital, Aşgabat many wonderful sights can be seen. Most of them seem to be of the president, Saparmurat Niyazov. They include:















Gold figure of saviour President Niyazov as a child held high by his mother, Mrs Niyazov, having thrust herself out of a despairing world on the back of a bull - in black granite.































Gold statue of a fully grown President Niyazov revolving 24 hours a day to face the sun.



































President Niyazov's portrait sits above the Turkmen Offices of Humanitarian Law.


There's apparently even a melon named after the great Turkmenbashi. Say hello to Turkmenistan, it's good to have their assistance in the war against tyranny and 'islamofacism'.
