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 . In May , authorities raided and closed a meeting of Hare Krishnas in Ashgabad , and law enforcement officers broke up a Baptist Sunday morning service in Turkmenbashi . In order for a continuous-tone or analog image to be processed or displayed by a computer , it must first be converted into a computer-readable form or digital format . In one case they even tried to send an elderly woman selling books from her home library to the cotton fields . The technique is best suited for utilization with fixed , stained specimens or other kinds of samples that naturally absorb significant amounts of visible light . In the course of the session , the deputies approved the draft laws " On introducing changes and addenda to the Code of Turkmenistan on Administrative Violations " and " On amendments to the Criminal Code of Turkmenistan " . Although the higher pay raises , pay table reform and return of the 50 percent retirement are clearly the right things to do - - and things that we must do for our people - - we must now pay for all of that out of hide . U.S. Ambassador to the OSCE Stephan M. Minikes also reported that government authorities had prevented him from meeting Batyr Berdyev , Turkmenistan 's former ambassador to the OSCE and current prisoner , or his wife during his recent visit to Ashgabat , the capital of Turkmenistan . The sides also plan to discuss prospects for further cooperation in the field of gas supply .
