Black Gold - Turkmenistan

Video Title :	Black Gold - Turkmenistan
Description :	July 1995 Turkmenistan's massive oil and gas reserves are as yet untapped. Credited with the potential to become another Kuwait there is one main stumbling block on Turkmenistan's road to instant wealth; it can't sell its oil to the rest of the world. International sanctions prevent the building of a pipeline through Iran and into Turkey. The USA Ambassador backs up claims that the country has a huge unrealised oil potential. Otherwise Turkmenistan's main exports are camels and pedigree race horses - often given as gifts to visiting dignitaries. One man already exploiting Turkmenistan's oil potential is former communist leader and self-styled President Saparmurat Niyazov Turkmenbashi. His personality cult and photograph appear everywhere; even at a folk music competition. He rejects a multi-party democracy as too unstable. We interview Turkmenistan's Vice Premier and look inside a country shaking off its communist isolation.

Hey my uncle is a Turkmen Doctor in a rural Lebap region! He performs surgeries everyday. Of course it was quit tough with medicatons, but it is getting better. Please don't try to generalize (hasty generalization as I was taught in Critical Skills class lol)

Please do not refer to Turkmenistan as a craphole.

Doctors make mistakes too. I have had so many bad experiences with the Doctors here in the US. I am so not lying.

I said what i had to say and u said what u had to say. And im just gonna leave it right here as it is. Because we can go on and on about it. Everybody sees a country in their own point of view. I just think u'r exaggerating... ur obviously really bitter at something. I've had so many good experiences and I just dont see it the way u do.

Glad we agree to disagree. Btw, I'd just like to say, I love Turkmenistan. People are awesome, food is great, but there things to fix everywhere. Bolya!

loooooooool.... ok now we've gotten somewhere.... jk

The only reason theres no nominal corruption is because theres pretty much only 1 person in power, although again, somethings have gotten better under Berdi. And all those worthless stupid white houses, that nobody lives in, and thats wasting millions of dollars that could be going into helping ordinary people??? Now, there are good things, well, these things are getting worse under Berdi. There used to be cheap food prices, etc.

"its only Russian trained doctors that can do anything." Thats what Russians think.
