Turkmenbashi's Reign of Terror

- President for Life (2005): President Saparmurat Niyazov of Turkmenistan was the dictator famous in the West for his crazy decrees and bizarre personality cult. But for his people, there was nothing comical about his rule. Subscribe to Journeyman here: www.youtube.com...
In Ashgabat, capital of Turkemenistan, the sun always shine on Turkmenbashi. Literally. His statues rotate to face the sun. His image is everywhere -- from the vodka bottles to the national airline. He's even renamed the days of the week after his dead mother. "He's clearly a paranoid leader with very strange sorts of behavioural patterns," states political analyst David Lewis. "He is brutal and violent."
Former foreign minister Avdy Kuliev agrees. "He's imprisoned many prominent people -- all of them subjected to tortures, horrendous tortures." Turkmenistan has one of the lowest life expectancy rates in region. Most of the people live in crushing poverty but an atmosphere of fear and intimidation prevents anyone speaking out.

I crossed Turkmenistan in a tour bus in 2008. Ashgabat is certainly one of the oddest cities I have visited in a lifetime of travel. Niyazov died in 2006 and was replaced by Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow, who has replaced the personality cult of Turkmenbashi with a personality cult of his own.
Do you still need a government "companion" to visit the country?
What things did you find most bizarre about the city? Did you get to get off the bus and explore the city at all? I wonder how quickly they replaced all the pictures everywhere to the new leader
I'm always fascinated by the Central Asian countries.. Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan. You just don't hear about them in the American media. Especially Turkmenistan, I didn't even know it existed until couple of years ago.
I live in the US and to be honest I think the reason we don’t hear about this nation is due to the US having diplomatic ties with them. It really contradicts the “save the people/world police “ bullshit that our media pushes. They’re no different from North Korea.
@@Ruder6163 exactly. It's like turkmenistan isn't as valuable or disobedient to USA as Syria or Afghanistan/Iraq is...so there's no need to humiliate/invade the country.
Afghanistan is also Central Asia
@@Ruder6163 Armchair geopolitics is so funny. Lol Turkmenistan declared its eternal neutral, meaning they're neither in the US, Russian, or Chinese orbits. If the US started missing with them its would open a new front with Russia and china. Both Russia And China see central Asia as there region of influence. Also China depends on Turkmenistans gas.
@@frenchcat2910 there are Americans military bases there
"The bird of happiness can sit on the head of the whole Turkmen people" wow, move over Shakespeare we got a poet here!
😂
"The bird of happiness can sit on the head of the whole Turkmen people..." And it can deposit it's royal poop upon their shoulders and the back of their necks where it can be seen by all as a symbol of generosity from your leader.
I think I could be a poet myself in that country!
An unabashably biased title and report on a country that mimics the propaganda stratagies of most other countries at least without "applying make up". Finger pointing, rather than thought provoking.
The bird can do whatever the hell it wants to
@emiliospowerballer1441

"Because, in fact, a violent overthrow of a regime is illegal in any society" …. "Iraq is obviously an exception to that rule" - Priceless!
Yes if there was only a hypocrisy meter, that we could just hook these scabs to.
The hypocrisy in that... How was the US founded? By nicely asking the British, French, Spanish and Indians to please leave?
Well look at what happened before and after in Iraq,Libya !!!which one is you like before or after??
Saddam killed millions of his own people. That's why it's the exception to the rule. amen

@Jesse Brennan it's almost like you don't understand the meaning of words. "reign of terror" does not imply anyone has died.

LOL
Borat should have been set here instead of Kazakhstan.
Sasha knew that Kazakhstan wouldn't physically harm him. He couldn't be so sure about Turkmenistan.
Kazakh government isn’t so different from this one believe me
All refugees should be sent there.
De Leonist kazakhstan is quite a lot freer than turkmenistan though.
@@tally1604 lol except Borat wasnt actually filmed in Kazakhstan bud. It was filmed in a Romanian Gypsy Village, but made it seem like it is Kazakhstan. So yes, he couldve made theovie in "Turkmenistan" if he really wanted to.
I'd like to see an update of Turkmenistan under Gurbanguly
Check Last Week Tonight with John Oliver - they did an excellent take.
@@ivario yeah ive seen that, it was good. love oliver wish he did more shows then once a week a few weeks out of the year.
supposedly there's a new religion there now. not islam. Turkmenbashyism.
@@genevieveshapiro6192 well there is certainly an abundance of idol worship there.
Ashgabat isn't Arabic actually, it's from the Persian Eshghabad.
at least they have the cleanest prostitutes in the region
Kazakhstan has those clean prostitutes 😒😒😒😒😒😒
"Except for, *Turkmenistan*"
Definitely not. There are high rates of HIV there. Use condoms.
@@omaralial-haire7386 That's a quote from borat movie.
lol
I visited Turkmenistan not too long ago (2013). I didnt really see any opression of anyone, but then again rumor has it all the opposition has already been dealt with.
The standout parts to me (outside of Darvaza) are the gorgeous marble buildings in their capital's downtown that are clearly empty, being built just for their beauty (or for the president). Their National museum was 1/3 dedicated to the president, with photoshopped pictures of him actually interacting with his people and doing various things like winning nascar-style races, riding horses, or playing sports. Poorly photoshopped photos, mind you.
Crazy place to visit.
Raman Sridharan He was dead by 2013 my man.
@@basedsouljah the new personality cult is for the current president gurbanguly berdimukhammedov, just like his predecessor niyazov
Putin must be his puppeteer.
You can't see in nort Korea as well...
Well our streets are empty, because no one is allowed to leave their home when president passes through them with his escort. Even though they are going to pass only 5 hours after police locks all people in their homes. Of course you won't see opression of anyone, did you really expect to see such things in capital? Especially tourists aren't allowed to be in places, in which they don't want them to be. Yeah i agree on part with museum. I remember the day when we went with our school to museum, i was (12y.o.?) and i actually remember that whole point of exisiting it was just to show how president poses. Actually we have his portrait at work, home (not mine, no way), school, on cover of our books in school, notebooks, basically everywhere xD

@@travelsofmunch1476 faaaaaarrrr more then that and if you want to consider failed attempts at toppling a government there are even more. Everyone is aware of Iraq and Afghanistan but the US also toppled Libya and Somalia. The US also had failed coups in Syria, Venezuela and Lebanon. This is all only in the last 2 decades and I’m probably missing some.
Sick of figuring out people live many lies believing all history books
@@Ruder6163 The thing is, we Americans are taught that we've never lost a war. If it's especially embarrassing like Vietnam, they say it was a non-war military operation and sweep it under the rug. In that example, it lead to the vilification of the U.S. soldiers who were forced to fight there. For a country that claims to love our armed forces, we sometimes treat them like trash when they come home damaged in body or mind.
@@CandyHatsuneWolff Trust me, I’m aware of all of this. I’m and American myself, first generation though. I feel like we children of immigrants have a different perspective though. But yeah, Americans are very easily talked into was.

Given the US has good relations with Turkmenistan, it appears you have easier opportunities than North Koreans.

Wow. Niyazov managed to turn Turkmenistan into a Tropico LARP.
man you stole my words XD
"So sad."

You mean a leader who creates big, clean, modern cities and has a healthy, well-fed population, doesn't care for the people?
And the leaders of India, whose population mostly lives in poverty, and has some of the dirtiest cities in the world (no offence but its true), with many people housed in slums, and lots of corruption, "care for the people"?
Read Turkmenbashi's book "Ruhnama" (available on PDF), and see if you think he was really a selfish egomaniac.
@@lovely7840 I read his book recently and was surprised at his philosophy on life, history, and politics. Definitely worth reading before judging him
Central Asian Countries are really beautiful. The people are gorgeous.

Turkmenistan is luckier than Uyghurstan...
+The Last of the Uyghurs i agree with you
how so?

Then, things can be moving to the right direction.
Li Feng Bravo 🇯🇵 Japan,they had very super slogan about you👍🏻

Turkmenistan, just think North Korea with Oil.
I am from Turkmenistan, you are very wrong my friend. Whenever I read about my country from outside observers it seems like I am being presented a completely different dramatic picture of pseudo country...is it because they want to inject a democracy pill to us or because they want to teach us how to live?
El Toro
Yes you do not want democracy. You have an absolute ruler who is almost worshipped as a God. And He had sometimes makes excentric laws.. So it is very much like North Korea.. But the differance is North Koreans live in poverty and sometimes suffer starvation. North Korea is a very poor country.Turkmen never have those problems and Turkmenistan is a rich country.. In this way they are very different.
El Toro The moment that megalomaniac nut job dies those 'ministers' will be fighting each other like cats in a sack to fill the vacancy.
+AdstarAPAD Turkmenbashy (means Head of Turkmens or Leader of Turkmens) died in 2006, so now Turkmenistan have democracy. People elects their leader. And no, Turkmenistan doesn't have much oil, but has 4rd largest Natural Gas reserves.

I quite like Turkmenbashi's "Reign of Terror".
Looks much better than Iraq today.
Maybe because it wasn't occupied by America?
+tapiwakay No, Turkmenistan is backed by Russia, and the Americans don't care on it.
+Slavic Chilean from Latin America That's True ...We have got agreement with Russia for the Oil and gas...tHEY BUY FROM US CHEAPEST PRİCE AND THEY SELL İT TO EUROPE FOR 3 TİMES PRİCE

+Slavic Chilean from Latin America You are from latin America, right? It's hard to say if American goverment backed us will be better than Russian back today? Cos American goverment's policy is exploit weak countries natural wealths like oil and gas, and make that country slaves to them you can see the results nowadays in Iraq and Afganistan!!!
I like how Turkmen are defending they country in the comment sections.
*their**
No one defends this shithole, trust me, since i am turkmen. Tbh you won't see any turkmen here, because:
1. CZcams is blocked in Turkmenistan
2. You can barely watch any video at 240p with turkmen internet connection
3. They are too afraid to even express themselves here
4. Language barrier, we hardly learn any English beyond basics at school
@@rimberse3405 I bet the ones who defend it here are government employees, am I right?
@@cksskc412 Kinda. They can be goverment employees and also brainwashed people, who really support dictatorship. However normal people don't have access to CZcams, since it's blocked in TM, so yeah it's rather goverment employees.
@@rimberse3405 Come on you cant call your country a shitehole it doesnt have nearly as much problems as my country (Iraq ) at least turkmestan looks good even small cities still look decent enough so be thankful .
@@rimberse3405do you guys have any social media in Turkmenistan? Like Facebook or Instagram? I assume you don't live there anymore since you have a CZcams account. How did you leave the country? I've heard it's very difficult for turkmen to leave their country
Beautiful architecture.
Blood diamonds are beautiful too
looks like arab disneyland.
many of the buildings are simply shells clad in white marble. As above, its more like disneyland than a city.
10mins drive outside the city is nothing but desert, rock and poverty.
Robert Kraamwinkel Well. It's actually not Arabic. It's Turkish. But maybe it looks like Arab disneyland. I don't know;).
Rex Brandsma
It's not Turkish. It's Turkmen. u could call it Turkic. Anatolian Turks (whom u know as Turks of Turkey) and Turkmens are from the same branch of the Turkic tribes: the Oghuz branch ;)
so we are kinda the same, but a bit different :)
"His image is everywhere" Not anymore. Gurbanguly Berdihamedov's (I think that's his name) face is everywhere now.
And now, it’s Serdar Berdimukhammedow that is everywhere.
Niyazov died in 2006.I have read that his successor had the "Arch of Neutrality" removed from where it was and to replace it ordered the construction of "a 95-metre (312 ft) tall "Monument to Neutrality" which is located in the suburbs.[2] The president appointed Turkish construction firm Polimeks to carry out the demolition of the arch and the construction of the new monument.[4] The removal of Niyazov's golden statue was completed on 26 August 2010,[5] although it then became part of the new Monument to Neutrality. The statue no longer rotates."In essence he had the arch dismantled and (quasi) re-built(same height) outside the town with a slight different name.I have seen pictures,the appearances are just facially different to what is yet visible in this documentary.
Perfect country for the next Olympic Games or a worldcup :(

They call him the "Great Turkmenbashi" which judging from his growing size seems quite appropriate. I look at the statues and the big picture posters and the real guy, and there's a disconnect. But, shhhh, don't mention it to him; it might be your last comment.

Ashgabat when translated from the Persian means City of Love; nothing to do with "the Arabic" if the production company can get this basic factoid wrong- something easily checked- then what else has been misconstrued?
Was thinking the same. Lost credibility right from the start. lol
well to be honest -ishq a similar world also means love in arabic
@@BlueSky-vd6qh the suffix _"abad"_ is fundamentally Persian. And BTW Southern Turkmenistan was and still is part of greater Iran, it's the ancestral homes of the Persians before they migrated to the Iranian plateau.

asghabad means long live love not city of love
Turkmenbashi is the real-life General Aladeen! AM I RIGHT?
No that was Gaddafi
It's great to have some documentries on countries that not everyone know about.
This clearly shows the impact media has on our lives. Main stream media has never once said anything about this regime or dictator. On the other hand most of the world knows N Korea and its leader. If UN and other organizations are really bothered about human right violation then it has to apply to the entire world.
It's very questionable if Turkmenbashi was as bad as they say. First they'd have to give some proof.
The UN bothered by human rightS violation? The UN is nothing more than another version of the League of Nations only less honest.
North Korea has nukes, so it's scarier.

The American ambassador needs to wipe the oil out of the corners of her mouth. Even she had a hard time keeping a straight face when attempting to explain the reasons why the US is willing to "overlook" the Turkmen government's attrocities. I think Washington would be willing to even give Pyongyang a bear-hug and a French kiss if they were sure to get some oil and gas out of the deal
Every coutary looks the other way when it us in it own interest. Not just the United States
*YOU SOUND SO SALTY!!!* 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

This is just like north korea. These dictatorships all have one thing in common- their populations are not very educated. If they were, they would never let such a person rule over them. The same reason despots and monarchs have ruled for so many centuries.
You can't blame them for not being educated, we don't have an education, we waste 75% of our time visiting the parades which president organizes, instead of studying at schools(be it math, literature or mechanical enginering). And no it is not voluntary, we are obliged to attend them.
@@rimberse3405 im sorry to hear that. I know it is very easy to type away on this screen and giving my insignificant opinion to you, and very, very hard to actually be experiencing that. But unfortunately that is the truth. We have a very bad government in India as well currently, but how are they ruling? Because 30% of India cant even read or write! To be able to make the right decisions, we need to be educated. Otherwise we have to let others decide for us. Its just how the world works, unfortunately...

I think some countries are better to be rule by dictatorship. Iraq under Saddam Hussein were a peaceful country, Libya under Gadafi were much safer. What do u expect?
All countries are better to ruled as a dictatorship, democracy leads to anarchy and poverty.

Wouldn't want to live there, but for some reason, I have a morbid curiosity about these types of nation/cults.
People interested in the cult of personality and who are researching repressive nations are quick to look at North Korea, completely overlooking Turkmenbashi and his clamp-down of Turkmenistan. This remains the best documentary made so far; thanks Journeyman Pictures.
But isnt this considered idolatry in islam? Arent they all technically infidels?
Pretty much.
The Turkmen people could practice a form of folk Islam, for all I know, but technically speaking, yes.
7:34 scary
Turkmenbasi's ego is the equivalent to a zeppelin; enormous, yet empty

I INVITE YOU TO COME AND OBSERVE TURKEY FOR A SIMILAR STORY. Ataturk (the first pres.) is also treated a similar way in Turkey and has more than 100.000 busts all over the country. There is an Ataturk corner(where you hang stuff about his life etc) in every school and it doesn't matter if it's a private school because they made it mandatory by law, there is ataturk bust inside and outside of every school, a portrait of his in every classroom and in every official building and office. his face is on every bill and coin. Many places, bridges, airports etc. were named after him and so on. There is a huge story here and Turkish people can't cover it as there is a law which can cause serious trouble for anyone criticizing Ataturk or these topics.

You do realize us muslims are hesitant to refer to central asians as muslims. Even if they are muslims, they probably are not very religious/they just call themselves muslims they arent really. These Soviet Style countries are not to be called by any religion.
Although the people are moslems, the government is secular, unlike most Islamic countries

If he was paranoid, it's likely he didn't have much happiness with all his wealth and power. This kind of person craves power and wealth and so takes over many countries in the world, unfortunately. But it's a kind of sickness.
