I hear that Turkmenbashi Sapurmurat Niyazov’s successor as president (or king or whatever) of Turkmenistan is the one who looks closest to Turkmenbashi! Though the logic may seem weird, i’m not surprised at all. One thing turkmenbashi did during his rule was to erect thousands of statues of himself all over the country! and given the madness of these guys, his successor is expected to do the same, costing enormous amounts of oil dollars! `
but with a successor woh looks like his predecessor, there is actually no need to put fresh statues! all they need to do is to change the nameplate!
amazing stuff! our politicians should learn a thing or two from these central asians when it comes to costcutting…
