Less than 1% Internet access? According to wikipedia its more than 20% and I doubt it changed that fast over 1 year. Maybe its unlimited access or access to western internet but it seems like another fake information in your videos only put to match your narrative. Do your research properly, please.

My two favourite stories about the old dictator of Turkmenistan: He banned smoking in the entire country because he wanted to quit & he handpicked his successor to be Gurbanguly Berdimuhammedow (definitely spelt wrong) who was his dentist as he didn’t think his son was qualified enough to take over.

Funny fact: Turkmenistan, alongside North Korea, has not declared one single case of Covid-19. Needless to speculate why North Korea hasn't reported anything of the like, but Turkmenistan might have also not reported any single cases for the very same reason: its dictatorship. President Gurbanguly Berdimuhammedow has officially prohibited the use of the Turkmen world for "coronavirus". Can one really believe that there are no Covid-19 cases in that lockdown shady country?

I’m from Ashgabad now living in US. So cool to see you visit there! I moved when I was 10 but I don’t remember all the white however I do remember the golden statues. The president also wrote some book that we were supposed to memorize like a bible. I never did. I also never learned the language since we all spoke Russian. From my experience though the people were wonderful and our neighborhood was like a family. Oh and we all came out at night because it was so damn hot during the day. I almost got a heatstroke a couple of times. Over 100+degrees in the summer

I was in Turkmenistan for two weeks in 2010 as a tourist. The whole city of Ashkabad seemed like a monument to the president. What I also remember was the change in scenery whilst leaving the city, from opulence to broken roads, and significantly poorer buildings and scenery as soon as you cross the edge of the city. I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Turkmenistan, especially visiting the ancient sites.

Hi, native Turkmen here! Can I clarify some mistakes, please? a. We have the internet access since the beginning of the century and right now almost 99% of the youth has mobiles with internet access. - what we don't have an access is: KZbin, Facebook, Twitter I don't know, the massively used American apps (but we use VPN to get there!). We're not too positive about USA having that much influence upon us - speaking politically, otherwise, you're always welcome guys! I guess we use Indian applications, generally. And limited internet does not mean we're cut off, guys! We all know Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, Selena Gomez aaand J Bieber! or whatever. Internet is not the "world", you know? b. 03:31 Saparmurat (the 1st president) was not a dictator. Not he, the parliament, or whoever had the authority, named those months because they had to keep control of the state the way the Soviets had taught us. So civilians would fear it, respect it, obey it. c. 02:22 "Streets are empty." - of course they are. The city is, or the country is, too big for 5.8 (approx.) million people scattered across the land. It's like, LA's population had a country the size of the state of California (a near approximation)! And during day it's too hot to go out :) d. 02:00 Those statues aren't creepy, haha. They're our ancestral heroes. Almost entire Turkic world respects, and loves those personages! Those heroes shaped our spirits. (well, till Russians reshaped it.) e. 02:38 That wedding hall, let me say, is almost as costy as your trip to our land! And it has endless weddings in it given people in capital are too rich. f. Yes, we're really closed towards foreign countries. But yes again, people are utterly, if not the most, hospitable you can find. g. People in the comments, Please even do not start "girls shaking hands with a boy, talking to a stranger" stuff. 90% of population has no idea what Islamic rules are (they drink alcohol, eat pork etc.) Although 100% seems to be Muslims. Well, they do believe in Allah, but the culture is a bit off what you expect to be Arabic. We have NOTHING to do with Arabs! h. 02:57 "Spasibo" is in Russian my friend. "Sag bol" would be in Turkmen (which is the only official language in TM) :) ALLOW ME SOME EDITING HERE: We have nothing to do with Arabs: I don't like it when I'm asked if we speak Arabic in our country (by westerners mostly), and personally, 80% of Arabs (from differing countries) I met are uncivilised. That's why I abhor being compared to them. Not that us Turkmen are a paragon of civilisation, but at least we're more considerate. By generalising maybe I'm being racist. Although I have Palestinian, Jordanian friends whom I love with all my heart. But after many experiences, my first impulse is to avoid Arabs. Turkmen eat pork etc: I am not saying it's a good thing by Islamic perspective. I don't and won't ever drink alcohol or eat pork because I love and follow my religion. I merely justify that Islam is utterly an individual religion, and only a heart of one, not what he eventually eats or drinks can determine it. If you don't know, it's said so in the Book. Am I a government propoganda😂? ....What if?

The city is actually very unstable seismically, with micro earthquakes happening almost every day. All those buildings you saw are built with that in mind.

@Rick Can't Trade i think you shouldn't say that. Even tho we have internet its really crappy, its only 3G prolly even less. And all the social media apps are banned we use vpn to access them for which we pay certain amount of money because government ban working vpns too. And internet/wifi is really expensive for us. Like average school teacher earn 100$ bucks and the worst home internet/wifi costs at least 5$

I'm from Kyrgyzstan, one of Turkmenistan's neighbours. And what surprises me the most is just how completely different those five Post-Soviet states in Central Asia actually developed and turned out! 30 years ago they were all just regions of the USSR and fairly similar, fast forward to the thirty years since the USSR dissolved and they are all so completely different to each other. Today I find it so hard to wrap my head around the fact they were all part of one country for so many years.

Ashgabat represents just as much Turkmenistan as Disney World represents America. The real Turkmenistan is found in the smaller cities, towns amd villages. Great people, a very corrupt government.
