| | The EU's relations with Turkmenistan - Overview |
 | | Last elections held on 19th December 2004; all 50 members elected belong to the Democratic Party of Turkmenistan, and are as such approved in advance by the President. | | | In the latest example of this voluntary isolationism in August 2005, Turkmenistan took the opportunity of a summit of the heads of state of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) in Kazan to formally downgrade its participation in the 12-country body to that of an associate member. | | | In December 1999, however, the Khalk Maslakhaty (or People’s Council, Turkmenistan’s supreme legislative body), altered the constitution again to allow the President to remain in office indefinitely. |

| | On 29 December, at least four opposition leaders accused of masterminding the November attack – Boris Shikhmuradov, Nurmukhammet Khanamov, Khudayberdy Orazov and Saparmurad Yklymov – were reportedly sentenced to 25 years’ imprisonment by the Supreme Court at a trial that fell far short of international standards; the latter three were sentenced in absentia. | | | The sentences were increased to life imprisonment the following day by the Khalk Maslakhaty, Turkmenistan’s supreme legislature. | | | Further attempts to limit independent information entering the country included a ban on importing newspapers from the Russian Federation. |

| | He is now commonly known as "Turkmenbashi" which is translated as "head of all Turkmen." Much has been written about Niyasov's style of leadership, most notably his "cult of personality." His smiling face appears everywhere throughout the country, from mandatory presidential portraits in every public building to his likeness on state-made yogurt and perfume bottles. | | | Instead, he believes that nation-building should be prioritized in order to unify the country, and that the state should supply all the needs of the people. | | | Toward this end, many grand public construction projects were completed during the first 10 years of Turkmenistan independence. |
