		Niyazov ha tratado de compensar la tendencia al aislamiento regional con un nutrido plantel de visitas a todos los países de esta parte de Asia, así como de la CEI, Europa occidental y Estados Unidos.
		Durante años, el régimen de Niyazov excusó los peores estragos del derrumbe del sistema soviético mediante el mantenimiento de la planificación centralizada de la economía y la subvención total de servicios básicos como la electricidad (esta medida fue anulada en 1996), aun al precio de alimentar una hiperinflación que en 1993 alcanzó las cuatro cifras.

		Niyazov’s health is subject of much speculation and some suggest that he may not have many more years to live.
		Niyazov has pushed the issue of being a ‘pure blood’ Turkmen to extremes with regard to governmental and state positions, requiring at least three generations of ‘pure’ Turkmen-ness.
		Niyazov has only his personalised ideology upon which his myth could be founded, and I am profoundly hopeful that most of that will go straight out of the window the moment he draws his last breath.
