27. Turkmenistan: Government Evicts Three Christian Families Protestant Couples with Children Left Homeless in Ashgabad. turkmenistan governmentEVICTS THREE CHRISTIAN FAMILIES. by Barbara G. Baker Compass Direct. http://www.ripnet.org/besieged/evictsthreefam.htm

For W. European Languages Go Translator News Release Protestant Couples with Children Left Homeless in Ashgabad TURKMENISTAN: GOVERNMENT EVICTS THREE CHRISTIAN FAMILIES by Barbara G. Baker Compass Direct 19 January 2001 ISTANBUL (Compass) A month after four Turkmen Christians were arrested and tortured by secret police near the capital of Ashgabad, all three of the married men and their families have been forcibly evicted and their homes confiscated by the government of Turkmenistan. After Pastor Shokhrat Piriyev was forced to move his wife and two children out of his home in Bagyr village near Ashgabad on December 9, officials of the National Security Committee (KNB) enforced similar ultimatums against two other members of his Protestant house church congregation. Together with his wife Hasanowa Enejan and their four-month-old son, Batir Nurov was thrown out of his home under KNB guard on December 19. The next day, Umit and Germezy Koshkarov and their 15-month-old son were put out on the street with all their belongings. Nurov, 24, was reportedly given a one-hour ultimatum to evacuate his home by the police, who stood by while he packed and removed his things and then sealed the door. Nurov was told by officials that after his "propiska" (residence permit) in Ashgabad was cancelled, his passport would be returned and he would be served formal written notice of the house confiscation.

Africa Americas Asia Europe/Central Asia ... More... TURKMENISTAN Human Rights Developments Patterns of abuse similar to those of the former communist regime and leveled at individuals critical of the government continued unabated in Turkmenistan during 1993. With its wealth of natural resources and small population, Turkmenistan was poised to become one of the wealthiest of the former Soviet republics. It boasted of stability to foreign investors when, in fact, such stability was maintained by a one-party system that restricted and punished critical voices in the media and alternative political circles with impunity. The number of individuals openly critical of the government had dwindled from thousands in the late 1980s to several dozen in 1993, in large part due to persecution by law enforcement authorities. During the year government officials detained and interrogated dissenters, frequently without bringing charges; denied them the right to travel abroad; dismissed them, their relatives and associates from their places of work; stripped them of union membership; and maintained surveillance of them and their families. Helsinki Watch was aware of one likely prisoner of conscience in Turkmenistan: Karadzha Karadzhaev, an accountant who had supported publication of an independent magazine

Overview of Foreign Investment Opportunities Since independence, the Turkmenistan government has sought to build a business environment that would attract foreign investment as well as facilitate the growth and privatization of its own businesses. Since 1992, Turkmenistan has developed several joint-ventures with international companies involved in the oil and gas industry, transportation, and agriculture. The government continues to look for interested parties who could build business relations with Turkmenistan in other industries such as agriculture, infrastructure, communication, food processing and packaging and many others. While Turkmenistan is just as eager as any country in the region to take advantage of the potential markets for its own financial security, the country has a second reason to seek out new markets for the Central Asian region, and encourage the building of the infrastructural mechanisms to increase trade and investment. Turkmenistan will benefit not only from its own direct market growth, but also from the financial interactions of the markets around Central Asia that will need Turkmen communication and transportation support. Therefore it is important that the players analyze what new and current markets are ripe for trade in energy, mining and agriculture, and also how the various markets will interplay.

Child Survival Program Launch in India Attracts Global Media; Counterpart Maternal Child Health Sets Precedent in Turkmenistan In the space of a month Counterpart International's Civil Society and Health divisions have established ground-breaking projects in Ahmedabad, India and Turkmenistan. Counterpart's Senior Program Officer, Darshana Vyas , met with the Municipal Commissioner, senior corporate and government officials, and local NGO partners, and launched Counterpart's Child Survival Program in Ahmedabad, India. A delegation from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) visited Gujarat to explore the possibility of developing child survival programs in the urban slums. At their request, Darshana facilitated and accompanied the delegation on a visit to gain a first-hand experience of the Gujarat urban slums where Counterpart, along with the Ahmedabad's local government officials, is implementing a project. Counterpart added insight to meetings between local government authorities and the USAID delegation, offering its close contacts with municipal authorities in the region. The Child Survival program is reaching out to some 240,000 urban slum dwellers in slum pockets otherwise forgotten in the increasingly industrialized region of Gujarat. The project aims to reduce infant mortality, collaborating with the existing local Municipal Corporation , NGO partners, and private practioners. The partners will create awareness and educate mothers on pneumonia, diarrhea, and other diseases which affect millions of Indian children each year. Field nurses travel to the slums daily in teams with Counterpart staff, local NGO partners and government health workers, motivating mothers to immunize their children and provide proper care for pneumonia and diarrhea. The teams lead them to community referral centers where children receive immediate care.

40. Info 21: Internet Governance The turkmenistan government is in dispute with NetName, the registry that manages.tm domains, over some domain names that were legally obscene in Turkmenistan http://www.undp.org/info21/ig/ig-prob.html

Internet Governance The Governance Problems The Internet architecture was not designed to respond to this exponential growth of users worldwide. Along with the growth of private sector companies users on the Internet, the number of trademark disputes has increased. The proliferation of .com domain names drove new entrants to developing countries' TLDs. Besides the system itself the legitimacy of administrative organisation has been questioned. The following issues are only some of the problems facing the Internet. Problems in Domain Names There are more than 60 registries available around the world that do not require residence for registration and are equal in function to .com, .org and .net. It has been observed that private sector companies register their domain names, using developing countries' ccTLDs which don't recquire residence. There are several reasons behind this move. First, domain names with .com have been mostly mined out and it is difficult to create a new innovative, unique and commercially valuable domain names. For example, www. foods.com and www.news.com already exist. Second, countries like Norway and France have certain restrictions in the domain name registration: a company can register only one domain name and has limited range of choices of the names. It drives more companies to lesser-known country-code countries. The following country codes have attracted commercial attention from private sector companies of various countries: . tm Turkmenistan . to
