A statue of the late Turkmenbasher

A true advancement in engineering!

#3 .... late dictator Saparmurat Niyazov, .... but acting president Gurbanguly Berdymukhammedov appeared certain to win.

We appear to have discovered where Murat has been hiding. Think of all the fun we will have with a guy named Gurbanguly...it's a wonder he made it through school.
