In the conflict-ridden region of Central Asia, there is a rich country that has quietly developed for 25 years. For a long time, the Soviet Union and the United States fought for control of this land in the form of an arms race.
For the Soviet Union and Russia, control of the Middle East meant no U.S. troops in their own backyards. For the United States, control of the Middle East meant that artillery was moved to the doorstep of the Soviet Union and Russia, and that it could gain an important advantage in the great power struggle.
However, Turkmenistan chose to become a permanent neutral country amid a strategic dispute between the great powers. This country is very interesting, they only charge five cents for oil, they are free of water and electricity, they are immersed in hard work, they do not care about foreign affairs, and they tell the world with practical actions that they really have no intention of interfering in international affairs.
Turkmenistan's constitution as a permanently neutral state is not only in its own national interests, but also brings more stability to the Middle East. The United States and Russia fully supported Turkmenistan's bid for permanent neutrality on the voting agenda of the United Nations, making the country a symbol of peace in Asia, both in form and substance.
In general, Turkmenistan's choice of permanent neutrality satisfies both its own national aspirations and external demands for peace.
In the Middle East, the competition between the United States and Russia is fierce, yet they have unexpectedly excluded Turkmenistan from the strategic sphere, which raises doubts about whether the country has any strategic value.
However, this is not the case, the Middle East is a major producer of oil, and Turkmenistan is also rich in oil resources. In fact, according to the report published by Turkmenistan, this country has important strategic value in the energy sector.
During the early years of Soviet rule, experts conducted expeditions in Turkmenistan and discovered a large number of natural gas fields. Since 1991, Turkmenistan's oil and gas resources have been continuously discovered, demonstrating their strategic value.
In fact, Turkmenistan has historically been made up of a diverse ethnic group, which has undergone a complex blend of histories that culminated in the formation of the Turkmen ethnic group. Under the rule of the Soviet Union, Turkmenistan has undergone recent historical changes.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, Turkmenistan declared independence. Before the development of oil and gas resources, the regions of Turkmenistan were poor. After independence, Turkmenistan's rulers led the country in developing the oil and gas industry, promoting the development of the socialist economy, and vigorously improving urban transportation.
In 1995, Turkmenistan officially opened a new chapter in the country's development by including a permanently neutral state in its constitution. As a party-trained leader, Niyazov lived up to expectations, graduating from the Leningrad Polytechnic Institute and the Higher Party School of the CPSU with a doctorate in political science and economics, as well as a background as a dynamics engineer.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Niyazov served as the chairman of the Supreme Soviet of Turkmenistan and established an independent and sovereign Republic of Turkmenistan with the territory of Turkmenistan. Under his leadership, the country built the oil and gas industry in an all-round way, and in 1996 began to build a national railway to promote the rapid development of the country.
Oil and gas have energized the construction of cities across the country under the leadership of Niyazov. It is said that in the eyes of Niyazov, white is a symbol of nobility and purity, representing solemnity and generosity.
Although Niyazov lived in the Soviet Union, he was a staunch believer in Islam, and his life in the Red Army gave him a deep understanding of the importance of ideological education and ideological struggle.
After 1992, Niyazov ruled Turkmenistan in a comprehensive manner with his unique personal style. In order to control ideological education and ideological struggle, he demanded that the doctrinal content of Islam must be taught in schools; Strict control measures are taken against foreign journals to prevent the spread of ideas.
He was convinced that the nobility of beauty can also bring about the nobility of thought. During his tenure, Niyazov paid great attention to the aesthetics of the people of the country. He banned the use of non-dark billboards and carpets, banned national makeup, jewelry, dyed hair, beards and long hair, and even required college students to wear national costumes, banned gold teeth, and so on.
He also has narcissistic tendencies, and he has built 14,000 statues of himself across the country as an aesthetic decoration.
Turkmenistan's population has grown by more than 30 percent over the past 30 years to 6.72 million, but compared to China's pre-first-tier cities, which already has more than 8 million residents.
This small population size is mainly due to the limitations of its geographical environment. Turkmenistan's land is barren and cannot feed a large population. In addition, the 1948 9 10 class ** in the capital Ashgabat, which caused the death of 160,000 people and the total destruction of the city, also changed the mentality of the people of Turkmenistan.
In the book "The Spiritual World of the Turkmen Nation", we can see that the values of the Turkmen people are highly similar to those of our country and have a high degree of identification with socialist values.
With the advent of the era of independence, the Turkmen people were no longer impoverished, and their rich oil and mineral resources and small population allowed them to better share in the fruits of the country's development.
Driven by a socialist economy, 99 percent of Turkmen are employees of state-owned enterprises, and although salaries are not high, per capita income in Turkmenistan has increased from $3,000 in 2000 to $9,000 in 2016 over the past decade.
In addition, their prices are also very affordable, the ** of fruit and meat products is only 1 6 of the domestic **, and the natural gas ** is free ** households, and the water and electricity are comprehensive. Thanks to the abundant petroleum resources, fuel oil is even cheaper, and the lowest is even only 12 RMB per liter.
Turkmenistan's closed policy and abundant mineral resources have allowed the people of this country to live in peace. The legend of Turkmenistan's beauties, although exaggerated, is a testament to the country's unique charm.
In 2006, Nirtsov said goodbye. In February of the following year, Berdymukhamedov succeeded him and attached great importance to diplomatic relations with China. In fact, the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries will not only help Turkmenistan develop its resources, but also solve the problem of natural gas and oil resources in our country.
Permanent neutrals enjoy the right guaranteed by the United Nations not to allow any country to declare war on them or to engage in war-related incidents, and to fulfil their obligation not to carry out military activities.
For these rights-giving countries, it is natural to focus on the development of their own economies and not to be affected by external disturbances.
