It's simple, you don't get into Turkmenistan!
Poor Turkmenbashi, he was a very interesting dictator, even more than my friend Lukashenko! :P Deceased Prepaids: CZ: Oskar, Eurotel; SK: Orange; DE: E-Plus, Aldi, Simyo; GE: Geocell; AM: Armentel; PL: Heyah, Plus; LT: Tele2; LV: Amigo; EE: Elisa; UA: Kyivstar; NZ: Vodafone; INT: UM, UM+, ICQSim.

There should have been a way... since some foreign delegations visited his funeral.
Oh, yes... Seriously, I believe Turkmenistan is going to get much better leader and regime, even though the relief will not be immediate. I hope they are going to have their own Gorbatchev soon. |

I think that it's hard to find a worse one... maybe they could ask in North Korea! Of couse they deserve a much better situation, Turkmenistan can be one of the richest countries in Asia, like Kazakhstan, which surely is not democratic, but far better...

Oh, yes... However, there should be no parallels with North Korea. Turkmenistan is not that closed, I know some people from there and how they live. They use many features of modern life such as satellite TV, cars, have parties at restaurants, some private property is allowed etc., so it's just very restricted society from the political point of view, while it's not that limited in the real life.

Now it looks incredible but there used to a strange time in Poland between October 1990 and April 1991 when despite freshly regained freedom and democracy it was possible to travel without visas, vouchers or invitations only to Hungary, Romania, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria and... Argentina . Also 24-hrs transit was allowed via Czechoslovakia or the USSR. Quote:

However, even more Poles have emmigrated since the EU accession - but at least they are only economical emmigrants - not political ones. Quote:

Oh, yes, this is a problem. However, it's often used to be the only international airport per a city for most of the connections, isn't it?

Oh, yes, although I guess it was not that much comparing it with the oil money that USSR was getting in late 70s and early 80s. |

You can call me a non modern person or a populist , but I really guess many nations do deserve independence much more than these pseudo-countries you listed above. I mean Curds, Abkhazians, Basques, Tibetians etc. These are real nations which are different from their 'owners' (often they are from another group of ethnoses) and who have been fighting for their right to get independent, while all these Andorra (in fact Catalonia), San Marino (Italy) etc. at present are too tiny and too similar to their neighbours to be really independent. So, either Curds and Basques should be independent too or Andorra should be Spain and San Marino should be Italy, the rest is unfair.
