Berdimuhamedov can extend relations with the field leaders of the Taliban
Relations between official Ashgabat and Taliban were based on the neutral-friendly basis since the time of Turkmenbashi the First. The similarity of Turkmen and Afghan approaches to "entrusted by God" land management favours these situation.
Officially Turkmenistan is a secular state in contrast to the militant Islamic Afghanistan. But thriving, authoritarianism and obscurantism prospered in both countries, freedom was smothered and repressions were carried out. That's why it's not surprising that when the West decided to put an end to lawlessness going on in Afghanistan after September, the 11th, and the entire international community supported the beginning of antiterrorist operation, only the "father of all Turkmens" said that his country's position would be neutral.
Turkmenbashi the Second continues all "good" initiatives started by his predecessor, refusing to give the Americans the unrestricted transit of goods to Afghanistan through Turkmenistan territory. Thus they make their contribution to the development of the historically good relations with Taliban.
Americans even fear that in order to protect one of their diversification creations — gas pipeline "Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India" (TAPI) which is prepared for the construction — Berdimuhamedov will extend relations with field commanders of the Taliban. And that is instead of providing of all matters relating with the protection of the line to the U.S. military.
Former Charge d'Affaires in Turkmenistan E.Malaja couldn't break bonds of that friendship during her work in the country. Even though ancient, but still an effective tactic of "divide and conquer" was started up there.
Guided by this principle, American woman was able to "find" an opposition within the country to intractable Turkmenbashi the Second, the number of dissatisfied with his policy in the country was pretty much. Among them are the representatives of not Berdimuhamedov's clan removed from the government management, and religious figures driven to underground, and ethnic citizens discriminated by nationality. And the rate, as usual, was made in the U.S. successfully proven practices — active use of the opportunities under the control of non-governmental Washington organizations, as well as bonds, bought by Western businessmen during their work in Turkmenistan.
Sudden recall of successfully worker E. Malaja at first may seem strange. However, informed sources noted that her replacement by R. Patterson was quite logical. The new ambassador, unlike his predecessor, has not only an impressive diplomatic experience in post-Soviet space, but also first-rate military education. This fact proves the obvious mood of Washington to expand the military and technical cooperation with Ashgabat.
Experts point out that R. Patterson had a difficult task, he had to convince the stubborn Turkmenbashi in the absence of any alternative approaches to America. Shaking over his "neutrality" Berdymuhammedov might to understand that military cooperation with the United States was the only way to reason Iran's nuclear ambitions, to develop democratic institutions in Afghanistan, to slow down an emerging hegemony in Central Asia, China, and to stop the Moscow's attempts to politicize questions connected with the diversification of Turkmen hydrocarbon exports.
If Berdymukhamedov will continue to persist in his "misunderstanding" of the situation, then all the discontented by Turkmenbashi politics, prepared earlier by E. Malaja, will unitearound the U.S. ambassador on the threshold of the elections. There are the representatives of Maryn's clan driven from the offices of politicians, progressive young people with Western way of thinking among them. They will receive financial assistance from the representatives of overseas business and non-governmental organizations, and informational support will be priveded with pro-American media.
