Following the raising of the state flag and the state anthem and artillery salutes , the parade started with various types of troops marching over the square and saluting President Saparmyrat Nyyazov and chanting " Nation , Fatherland and Nyyazov the Great " . In the domestic sphere , President Saparmurat Niyazov continued to dismiss top officials for alleged shortcomings in their work performance by sacking the governor of Balkan region , the Minister of Oil , Gas and Mineral resources , and the head of the state cotton concern . " Japan is offering its services for the building of 20 up-to-date facilities in Turkmenistan to condense the concomitant gas extracted at many oilfields being developed in western Turkmenistan , " he said . The Foreign Ministry also renewed its commitment to developing its economic relations with long-time partner Ukraine during a visit by Ukraine 's Minister of Foreign Affairs that began on November 5 . And I would therefore like to renew the calls that we and others have made for the Government of Turkmenistan to permit immediate and unrestricted access to all prisoners . In this context we recall the pledges of Turkmenistan to cooperate with the OSCE , and we reiterate our own willingness to cooperate with and assist Turkmenistan in the process of taking the necessary reforms towards implementing its human rights commitments . We therefore call again on the Government of Turkmenistan to return Mr. Begmedov to his home in Ashgabat , a move that would demonstrate Turkmenistan 's compliance with human rights obligations that it freely undertook as a member of the United Nations and of the OSCE . ( Text omitted ) During the meeting former Vice-premier and Minister of Defence of Turkmenistan Rejepbai Arazov was elected the Chairman of the National Center of Trade Unions of Turkmenistan .
