She led a comfortable life in London in comparative oblivion until her father, the all-powerful leader of Turkmenistan, called her home in Aschabad and pushed her on the political stage. That was almost 5 months ago.
Now Oguljachan Atabayeva is constantly present in the state-controlled media, at the centre of attention alongside her brother and nominal president, Serdar Berdymuchamedov, and the country's ultimate leader, Gurbanguła Berdymuchamedov. Atabajewa plays a large public role, holding the inconspicuous title of vice president for medical activities at the Berdymuchamedov Gurbanguly Foundation. It's clear thatIt is being prepared to take up 1 of the key positions in Turkmenistan's household management business, althoughIt's most likely just her father knows what it's gonna be like.
An interview of April 24, given in English and aired by Al-Arabia tv station, the president hinted that his daughter would service as an envoy of the household outside, facilitating Turkmenistan's entry intoglobal politics. Atabayeva created herself as a spokeswoman for the Turkmen youth and women, while showing a global position on public wellness issues. He seems to talk English much more freely than Serdar. "Protection of motherhood, childhood and care for the younger generation are in line with Turkmenistan's priorities. These priorities are not only a central part of national policy, but besides the main pillars of our identity. We realize that, in today's circumstances, achieving this nonsubjective should be combined with broad global cooperation, close cooperation with specialised UN structures and another global institutions, including at bilateral and regional level" said Oguljachan Atabayeva.
After independency in the early 1990s. Turkmenistan was blockingExternal influences, while building a totalitarian political strategy that only subsides in terms of ruthlessness of North Korea. However, in fresh months, Turkmenistan's leaders have taken preliminary steps to strengthen global trade connections, including facilitating abroad visitors to the country. It appears that Atabayeva is presented as a typical of the milder side of the Turkmen dictatorship, whose task is to establish abroad contacts that can aid solve social, educational and public wellness problems, coupled with the beginning up of the country's economy. Her statements in an interview clearly show that Turkmenistan wants to strengthen ties with UN agencies specified as UNICEF and UNDP, as well as global improvement organisations. 1 example of this is the fresh establishment of cooperation with humanitarian foundations in Europe, the mediate East and Asia. Turkmenistan besides seeks to make and strengthen relations with another regions of the world.
