 Traducers
22.12.2009 During the days when the Turkmen Initiative for Human Rights celebrated its 5th anniversary, we received many letters with congratulations and warm greetings and, certainly remarks such as - how could we do without this service? – including appeals to put an end to the smearing of Turkmen relics from the «Great Renaissance» époque.

 Turkmenistan: Still Waiting for the Second Step
20.10.2009 Leading officials in Turkmenistan began a series of meetings this fall with leaders of democratic countries and international organizations, starting with the UN General Assembly in New York.
