Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow

"Now an academician, now a hero ..." - this is how the words of Alexander Pushkin can be characterized by the Turkmen President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov. The man, nicknamed by his compatriots Arkadag ("patron"), is an honorary doctor of foreign universities, a winner of auto races and a karate fighter. It is not yet known about Gurbanguly's accomplishments as a navigator and carpenter, but, like Peter the Great, the Turkmen leader is strong in dentistry and surpassed the Russian tsar in literary and musical talent.

Arkadag was born at the height of the summer of 1957 in the village of Babarap, where his father taught in his youth. The name of Gurbanguly in translation from Turkmen means “selfless flower”, and the surname comes from the name of the grandfather of Berdymukhammed Annayev, a front-line soldier who died during the Ashgabat earthquake.

The natural disaster claimed the lives of 30,000 residents of the southern republic, including the brothers of the first president of Turkmenistan, Saparmurat Niyazov. In 2012, the drama theater on Makhtumkuli Avenue staged a play about the ancestor of Arkadag, and in 2018, Annaev was posthumously awarded the Russian medal For Courage.

Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov's parents are alive - their son regularly takes either Myalikguly's dad or Ogulabat-eje's mother to social events. Arkadag grew up surrounded by sisters - Gulnabat, Durdynabat, Guldzhamal, Oguljamal and Myakhri. The Turkmen leader has no brothers. Sister Gulnabat, who now bears the surname Dovletov, now heads the Turkmen branch of the Red Crescent Society.

According to rumors, Gurbanguly's blood father is Saparmurat Niyazov: spiteful critics explain this to Berdymukhamedov's career growth and his outward resemblance to his predecessor. An interesting fact: at the time of the birth of Arkadag, the future Turkmenbashi was 17 years old, and Niyazov met his wife Muza Alekseevna only 8 years later.

At the age of 15, the young man won the Ashgabat championship in classical wrestling, and at 16 - in the shooting championship of Turkmenistan. Gurbanguly was not seduced by the career of Myalikguly Berdimuhamedov, who became an officer-political instructor, and the future president entered the dental faculty of the republican medical institute.

Gurbanguly's working biography began as a dentist in a village ambulance station. However, after 2 years, Berdymukhamedov became the chief dentist of the Ashgabat region. According to the recollections of his colleagues, the young doctor focused on cleanliness and order in medical institutions and ordered male doctors to come to work in ironed trousers.

In the early 90s of the 20th century, Berdymukhamedov made a career at Alma Mater, in 5 years he rose from a department assistant to the dean of his native faculty. In 1995, Gurbanguly Myalikgulyevich headed the dental center of the Ministry of Health of Turkmenistan, and in 1997 - the department itself.

In the early 2000s, Berdymukhamedov took the post of deputy prime minister of the Turkmen government (President Niyazov himself headed the Cabinet of Ministers), and in 2006 he represented the state at the Minsk summit of the CIS. After the death of the “father of the Turkmen nation” Gurbanguly Myalikguliyevich headed the funeral commission and began to act as president.

The functions of the head of state should have automatically passed to the chairman of the Mejlis, Ovezgeldy Atayev, but the Turkmen colleague Valentina Matviyenko was accused of abuse of office and imprisoned.

Berdimuhamedov won the presidential elections three times: in 2007, Gurbanguly Myalikgulyevich won 87% of the votes, in 2012 - 97%, and in 2017 - 94%. During his first presidential term, Arkadag assisted in operations to remove a benign tumor, received a doctorate in medical sciences and the title of professor. For the third time, the president was elected for a 7-year term.

In the first years of his reign, Berdimuhamedov took measures to restrict the personality cult of his predecessor - he canceled the final exam in the Rukhnama (Niyazov's main work) and returned the Gregorian calendar, removed the name of the Turkmenbashi from the hymn and the oath, increased the duration of education in secondary and higher educational institutions, shortened by the first the president.

However, many hopes of the Turkmen did not come true - only 5% of citizens have access to the Internet, promised by Gurbanguly Myalikguliyevich, the uniform is mandatory not only for schoolgirls and students, but also for teachers.

The President entered the private life of fellow citizens - Turkmen newlyweds are required to take pictures against the background of the leader's portrait. Photo of Arkadag is present in every classroom of the republic. In 2015, a 21-meter gilded equestrian statue with a Gurbanguly horseman was erected in Ashgabat.

The multivolume reference book by Arkadag "Medicinal Plants of Turkmenistan" is available in all medical institutions of the country.

The presidency awakened Gurbanguly's lyrical gifts. The leader of the nation plays guitar and piano, composes poetry and sings songs. The most famous single of the president is "My white flowers for you" ("Sana menin ak gullerim").

The President of Turkmenistan continues to amaze fellow citizens with a variety of talents. A middle-aged and short man (judging by the photo, Arkadag is the same height as Dmitry Medvedev, that is, approximately 162-163 cm) not only, like Vladimir Putin, plays hockey and demonstrates to citizens the technique of training on simulators, but also wins the races and in auto racing.

Berdymukhamedov's wife, who gave her husband three children, does not appear in front of the cameras. According to rumors, Arkadag has a second - unofficial - wife Marina, whom he met during dental practice, and an illegitimate 22-year-old daughter.

The names of the grandfather and father of Gurbanguly Myalikgulyevich in Turkmenistan are called schools and state institutions. The president's descendants are posting photos from social events and resorts on Instagram.

At the beginning of 2019, Berdymukhamedov headed the Council of Heads of State of the CIS, and in the spring he delighted his compatriots by performing a rap with his grandson about Rovach's horse - an Akhal-Teke foal. The president by nationality Tekinets is a representative of the tribal group of Turkmens, after which the famous breed of horses is named. Peru Berdimuhamedov owns the book "Akhal-Teke - Our Pride and Glory."

In July 2019, the oppositionists of Turkmenistan announced the death of Arkadag. Renal failure was cited as the cause. At the end of 2018, rumors circulated throughout the republic about the state of health of the leader, according to which Gurbanguly allegedly fell into a coma.

However, official sources denied rumors that the national leader had died: President Berdymukhamedov is on another vacation and decided to spend time with his family, taking a break from the sights of television cameras. In parallel, an alternative version of the disappearance of Gurbanguly Myalikgulyevich from the screens was launched: Arkadag's mother is undergoing treatment in Germany, and the son is now sitting at the parent's bedside.
