" " Thus , " writes Begmedov , " on August 31 , 2003 they evicted me from Ashgabat , without presenting any official document ? Turkmen authorities seized Mr. Begmedov near his home in Ashgabat on August 31 , forced him into a car and beat him before confiscating his passport and forcing him onto a flight to Dashoguz . Dr. Widnall : Let me speak to a specific example , because I think the IUS may be an extreme example of that . In response to my legitimate questions the police beat me up and would not permit me to take any clothing , medicine , documents , or other necessities with me . When we called him on it , he feigned weakness . Turkmenistan is not planning to soften its stance or make any " favours " in this issue . Even though he may be put out of power later by some of the people who were sufficiently unhappy with him at home , it was not anything that was forced by his participation in the war or by his actions . The French company Bouygues , which is constructing administrative buildings in Asgabat to the tune of 258.5m dollars , is paid by Turkmenistan in hard currency . In closing Mr. Chairman , if there is a political will to engage in genuine police reform and in the prevention of torture , the OSCE and its participating States should be willing to help with that reform and we appreciate ODIHR and the Senior Police Advisor 's ongoing efforts in providing that assistance . When I was visiting Aviano during the conflict , I talked to several sergeants about bedding down in the rapidly constructed tent city there . In any event , it did seem to me when phrasing these criteria that we should set out the simple fact that it had to be a cause that was important enough to win . If Saparberdy Atabayev performs his official duties unsatisfactorily he will be relieved of the post without being given another job . During the exchange of views on further cooperation , the Turkmen president asked the leadership of the De La Rue company to draw up a project for the construction of a mint to be built in our country , describing it as a new step towards the strengthening the country 's sovereignty . One driver was trying to persuade the soldiers to let him pass saying that he is driving a mother with a sick child to the doctor . The idea that these are people who can be simply poured into any situation without any respect or any consideration being given to the risks , and whether the risks are worth it , would be a very wrong philosophy . It should be remembered that , in recent years Saparmurat Niyazov has not left Turkmenistan , declining on various pretexts to participate in much more representative meetings , which his official status required him to attend . There were other areas in the quality area that I want to just briefly highlight from our report . During this period , Personal Envoy to the OSCE Chairman-in-Office Martti Ahtisaari had a long-awaited personal meeting with President Niyazov in Ashgabat ; Turkmenistan 's new ambassador to the United Kingdom presented his credentials in London , although his name was not revealed in state media coverage ; and it was announced that President Niyazov will pay an official visit to Belarus in late November . Turkmenistan , which has been led by Niyazov since the Soviet era , has long been known as one of the most repressive and closed countries in the world , in addition to being one of the richest in hydrocarbon resources . The Chairman-in-Office of the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe ( OSCE ) , Foreign Minister of the Netherlands Jaap de Hoop Scheffer , made a plea to the Foreign Minister of Turkmenistan , Rashid Meredov , during a meeting in New York for improvement in the area of human rights . It seems clear to me that we all must continue to balance these kinds of budget pressures always looking forward and toward improving our aerospace capabilities . In the event of his failure to meet his official commitments he is to be relieved of his post without offer of another job . In the etraps , markets are allowed to trade only during a two-hour period in the evening .
