A Potemkin Village For The Turkmen President 

American children address their president as 'Mr President' and you have the nerve to laugh at the Turkmens.

@@euan7166 Yes! So much parking!

@@euan7166 Americans' ability to call Joe Biden a demented old man and not be in jail for that is already enough said.

😂

Agreed!

Both North Korea and turkmenistan r great countries , both countries r self reliant and have very peaceful politics , the living expenses of citizens r highly subsidised and most people support the govt without any coercion.

@@surendramumgai631 go outside touch some grass

@@lihwak9181 no u, believing that democracy means freedom

Russia and Belarus are not same like Turkmenistan you should compare it with north Korea not Russia

Please do not insult Russia like that. I know it’s not perfect but you don’t see that when Putin visits a certain city or place

Russia should do better controling their puppet state

​@@JF-bv6vc No, he just commits genocide against Ukrainians. 🙄

Sure does!

very fast to judge. he's a great leader. way more better than western leaders

Yes! He is a narcissistic dictator!

99% corruption

you don't say

Why is turkmenistan being criticised for doing things just for show ??? The whole western world is an even greater fake where hypocrisy reigns supreme and nothing is as it appears to be.

@@surendramumgai631 Sorry, I bet to differ. Please differentiate between what the politicians say and do and what people say and do. Politicians are hypocrites, not for everything, but some. Politicians are voted and are required to what people ask them to. Of course, states have their own interests as well, so governments have to please both, well they have to please everyone. Turkmenistan does not work that way, especially understanding that foreign books are prohibited to be on sale, the country is under a state of totalitarianism and authoritarianism ruled by a dictator who does not wish well to his people other than his own riches. The West does not live under a fake hypocrisy; the media certainly wants everyone else to believe this. I, as a Westerner, have basic rights, such as freedom of speech, freedom of movement, access to affordable public health services, access to a home, free education, access to the internet, the right to defend my self in court, freedom to criticize the government or the people in power, freedom to vote whomever I want, freedom to express my judgement, access to a market of demand and supply for which I determine the demand, supply and price, access to water, access to quality services from organizations and many more. Millions of people do not have access to many of those and are blinded by propaganda to believe that ONE person wishes to take care of them. If people are happy with no freedoms, let it be. But Afghan women are quickly trying to flee their own countries because they understand that the idea being sold to them is to stay pure and blindly follow their culture as an excuse to be misused and treated by others as slaves and objects. Sorry, but when my presidents lifts a golden barbell, we do not congratulate or applaud him; we publicly claim what an arse he is and he knows well to commit to his job because we have the freedom to elect another one. and if he is found guilty of corruption, we sent him to court and punish him with jailtime.

@@emiliospowerballer1441 Turkmenistan citizens also have most of the rights that western democracies give to their citizens and life isn't bad for them as u seem to think. However just as in the west there r people in turkmenistan also who r dissatisfied with the state of affairs and r eager for change. However such people r in a minority and the vast majority supports the govt. Plz note that it's not for outsiders to decide what's good or bad for a country and it's the right of the people of that country to decide their fate without outside interference.

It is all done to make him look great but in reality he is just a stupid dictator who cares only about himself!

Yup

Yeah....and pigs will fly...

Yeah! Funny!

Yes!

Türkmenistan people lead a very rich life which European media never sees!

Yes we live a great life, full of fresh foods, beautiful homes, and our leader is one of the greatest men in the universe. He is the strongest, smartest, richest, bravest, and best warrior on this planet. He invented things like the Internet, the car, space travel, all medicines, he invented the process that turns oil into gas, he can turn rocks into gold, water into wine, and his mother became pregnant without intercourse. He can also speak to all animals, especially horses. He has saved over 8 billion lives. He can lift 10,000 kilos with a single hand, he once wrestled a bear, tiger, lion, hippo, and 15 MMA fighters all at once, and all the animals died from single punches, and the MMA fighters tapped out in 2 seconds. His urine can cure any cancer, his spit is said to be the most flavorful liquid on earth. He is our king and will take this planet over so we all can be protected by him. Praise be to our President.

@@trust1952 U r right , Turkmenistan is fortunate to have such a leader , just look at post soviet ukraine and u will see how foolish pro western puppet leaders have destroyed the peace and prosperity of a once flourishing land.

@@trust1952 Haha! Funny! Your stupid president is a dictator!

And you think that he is so great!
