Victor Yushchenko has offered sympathy to Turkmenistan’s acting President Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov over the death of President Saparmurat Niyazov, “President’s press office” informs.
“Saparmurat Atayevych has been known in Ukraine as a wise and levelheaded politician and Ukraine’s big friend. His tireless efforts and personal qualities helped implement large-scale development projects in Turkmenistan’s economic, social and spiritual life and considerably reinforce the country's neutrality,” he wrote.
