11_2ecb.xml_23 | train | evt | 11_2ecb.xml | 0 | Turkmenistan voted Sunday in a parliamentary election meant to show that the energy-rich central Asian nation was shedding its autocratic past , but Western observers said nothing had changed . | 17 | 17 | 114 | 122 | shedding | 10000001074 | shed | ['turkmenistan', 'vote', 'sunday', 'parliamentary', 'election', 'mean', 'energy-rich', 'central', 'asian', 'nation', 'shed', 'autocratic', 'past', 'western', 'observer', 'say', 'change'] | Turkmenistan voted Sunday in a parliamentary election meant to show that the energy-rich central Asian nation was <m> shedding </m> its autocratic past , but Western observers said nothing had changed . | Turkmenistan voted Sunday in a parliamentary election meant to show that the energy-rich central Asian nation was <m> shedding </m> its autocratic past , but Western observers said nothing had changed .
Authorities said turnout reached 93.87 percent in the election for 288 candidates , all of whom support the policies of President Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov in the ex-Soviet republic .
Voting stations were festooned with Turkmen flags and pictures of Berdymukhamedov , the successor of eccentric dictator Saparmurat Niyazov , who ruled Turkmenistan for two decades until his death in 2006 .
Over 2.5 million people were eligible to vote in the election , held under the framework of a new constitution approved in September and intended to increase parliament 's powers and raise the number of seats from 65 to 125 .
`` I attach hopes for the better to these elections , especially for our children , '' Valentina Redzhepova , an official at one of Ashgabat 's voting precincts , told AFP .
`` We are waiting for borders to open even further so more guests can come to us and so we can visit them . ''
Voters , however , appeared reluctant to criticise the government .
In Gyami , a village outside the Turkmen capital , 25-year-old Guzel said she had come to the local polling station to vote and watch her daughter perform in a children 's folk-dance troupe .
`` I voted for our fellow village resident .
He is an experienced person and knows village life well , '' she said .
Pensioner Bayram-aga , a voter in Ashgabat , said:
`` I remember the elections from the Soviet days. ...
People were very active then , it was like a festival .
Now it 's much quieter . ''
Western observers say Niyazov still casts a shadow , despite promises of openness by Berdymukhamedov and some moves to dismantle the late dictator 's bizarre personality cult .
Niyazov 's gold statue still towers over the desert nation 's capital , rotating to face the sun .
`` The facade has changed but the foundations remain the same , '' said a Western diplomat , who requested anonymity .
`` Power rests entirely with the president .
His photo appears every day on the front of the papers .
He strictly controls the economy and the whole of the media , '' the diplomat added .
New York-based Human Rights Watch said in an assessment last month that Turkmenistan had made `` some progress '' but `` remains ... one of the most repressive and authoritarian states in the world . ''
The elections are unlikely to get a clean bill of health from the West , not least as all candidates have stressed support for the president while campaigning .
The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe sent eight experts to monitor the poll and draw up an `` internal report . ''
The group 's spokesman , Jens Hagen Eschenbecher , told AFP that the experts would not be making any public statements on their conclusions .
Ninety percent of the 288 candidates come from the Democratic Party set up by Niyazov in place of the Communist Party , with the other 10 percent coming from so-called `` initiative groups '' that have little clout .
All candidates are funded by the state , with a ban on other funding .
Western journalists have been refused permission to cover the vote .
Foreign election observers will mainly come from the Commonwealth of Independent States , a post-Soviet group with little credibility .
With its enormous natural gas reserves , Turkmenistan is central to European efforts to diversify gas supplies away from Russia .
Berdymukhamedov has voiced support for giving the West more access to Turkmen gas . |

The election comes two years after the death of idiosyncratic dictator Saparmurat Niyazov , which kindled hopes here and in the West that the Central Asian country would gradually roll back its oppressive political regime and introduce greater freedoms .
Niyazov 's successor , President Gurbanguli Berdymukhamedov , has revoked some of his more draconian decrees and vowed to pursue political reform .
But most of the parliamentary candidates are from the only permitted political party , and exiled opposition activists say the president has failed to live up to his promises .
`` Beyond all the pompous declarations , there will be no real change , '' Tadzhigul Begmedova , director of the Turkmenistan Helsinki Foundation for Human Rights , said by telephone from Varna , Bulgaria .
`` The hopes many people had that a new president would open up Turkmen society have been shattered . ''
On the surface , Turkmenistan 's political landscape is changing .
In September , the rubber-stamp People 's Council - a 2,507-member assembly of presidential appointees , town elders and others - voted to abolish itself and cede most of its powers to an expanded parliament .
But out of the 288 candidates running for the 125 seats Sunday , more than half are members of the pro-presidential Democratic Party of Turkmenistan - a political force created out of the ashes of the Soviet-era Turkmen Communist Party .
Non-party candidates have been drawn from state-controlled women 's and veterans ' organizations , trade unions and a youth group .
The only non-party candidate in the capital , Ashgabat , avidly supports Berdymukhamedov - undermining official claims the polls will offer a wide choice .
`` I will devote all my strengths to the honest and righteous support of our esteemed president 's domestic and foreign policy , '' the candidate , regional bureaucrat Resulberdy Mammedov , said in a campaign statement .
Niyazov isolated Turkmenistan from the international community and forged a pervasive personality cult .
He called himself Turkmenbashi , or father of all Turkmens , renamed months after himself and his mother , and made his self-penned spiritual tome mandatory reading for students and state employees .
With Berdymukhamedov decreasing the country 's isolation , government opponents claim the election is aimed to appease Western countries that are eager to win access to its vast natural-gas reserves but wary of its record on democracy and human rights .
The U.S. and European Union are seeking to lessen Russia 's control over exports of Turkmen gas .
`` This whole spectacle has been arranged for the international community , to show that Turkmenistan is following the path of democratization , '' said Begmedova .
While officials have extolled the vote as an exercise in democracy , there has been little campaigning and little coverage on state-run television , in contrast with the February 2007 presidential election that confirmed Berdymukhamedov 's role as head of state .
`` There are very few billboards around the city .
With just four days to go before the election , I still do n't know who I 'm supposed to vote for , '' said Maral , 45 , an Ashgabat resident who declined to give her surname for fear of official intimidation . |

The election comes two years after the death of idiosyncratic dictator Saparmurat Niyazov , which kindled hopes here and in the West that the Central Asian country would gradually roll back its oppressive political regime and introduce greater freedoms .
Niyazov 's successor , President Gurbanguli Berdymukhamedov , has revoked some of his more draconian decrees and vowed to pursue political reform .
But most of the parliamentary candidates are from the only permitted political party , and exiled opposition activists say the president has failed to live up to his promises .
`` Beyond all the pompous declarations , there will be no real change , '' Tadzhigul Begmedova , director of the Turkmenistan Helsinki Foundation for Human Rights , said by telephone from Varna , Bulgaria .
`` The hopes many people had that a new president would open up Turkmen society have been shattered . ''
On the surface , Turkmenistan 's political landscape is changing .
In September , the rubber-stamp People 's Council - a 2,507-member assembly of presidential appointees , town elders and others - voted to abolish itself and cede most of its powers to an expanded parliament .
But out of the 288 candidates running for the 125 seats Sunday , more than half are members of the pro-presidential Democratic Party of Turkmenistan - a political force created out of the ashes of the Soviet-era Turkmen Communist Party .
Non-party candidates have been drawn from state-controlled women 's and veterans ' organizations , trade unions and a youth group .
The only non-party candidate in the capital , Ashgabat , avidly supports Berdymukhamedov - undermining official claims the polls will offer a wide choice .
`` I will devote all my strengths to the honest and righteous support of our esteemed president 's domestic and foreign policy , '' the candidate , regional bureaucrat Resulberdy Mammedov , said in a campaign statement .
Niyazov isolated Turkmenistan from the international community and forged a pervasive personality cult .
He called himself Turkmenbashi , or father of all Turkmens , renamed months after himself and his mother , and made his self-penned spiritual tome mandatory reading for students and state employees .
With Berdymukhamedov decreasing the country 's isolation , government opponents claim the election is aimed to appease Western countries that are eager to win access to its vast natural-gas reserves but wary of its record on democracy and human rights .
The U.S. and European Union are seeking to lessen Russia 's control over exports of Turkmen gas .
`` This whole spectacle has been arranged for the international community , to show that Turkmenistan is following the path of democratization , '' said Begmedova .
While officials have extolled the vote as an exercise in democracy , there has been little campaigning and little coverage on state-run television , in contrast with the February 2007 presidential election that confirmed Berdymukhamedov 's role as head of state .
`` There are very few billboards around the city .

`` The hopes many people had that a new president would open up Turkmen society have been shattered . ''
On the surface , Turkmenistan 's political landscape is changing .
In September , the rubber-stamp People 's Council - a 2,507-member assembly of presidential appointees , town elders and others - voted to abolish itself and cede most of its powers to an expanded parliament .
But out of the 288 candidates running for the 125 seats Sunday , more than half are members of the pro-presidential Democratic Party of Turkmenistan - a political force created out of the ashes of the Soviet-era Turkmen Communist Party .
Non-party candidates have been drawn from state-controlled women 's and veterans ' organizations , trade unions and a youth group .
The only non-party candidate in the capital , Ashgabat , avidly supports Berdymukhamedov - undermining official claims the polls will offer a wide choice .
`` I will devote all my strengths to the honest and righteous support of our esteemed president 's domestic and foreign policy , '' the candidate , regional bureaucrat Resulberdy Mammedov , said in a campaign statement .
Niyazov isolated Turkmenistan from the international community and forged a pervasive personality cult .
He called himself Turkmenbashi , or father of all Turkmens , renamed months after himself and his mother , and made his self-penned spiritual tome mandatory reading for students and state employees .
With Berdymukhamedov decreasing the country 's isolation , government opponents claim the election is aimed to appease Western countries that are eager to win access to its vast natural-gas reserves but wary of its record on democracy and human rights .
The U.S. and European Union are seeking to lessen Russia 's control over exports of Turkmen gas .
`` This whole spectacle has been arranged for the international community , to show that Turkmenistan is following the path of democratization , '' said Begmedova .
While officials have extolled the vote as an exercise in democracy , there has been little campaigning and little coverage on state-run television , in contrast with the February 2007 presidential election that confirmed Berdymukhamedov 's role as head of state .
`` There are very few billboards around the city .
With just four days to go before the election , I still do n't know who I 'm supposed to vote for , '' said Maral , 45 , an Ashgabat resident who declined to give her surname for fear of official intimidation . |
