“In the Lebap velayat, officials and school principals were warned that if they catch the eye of the MNS officers (ministry of national security. – “GORDON”) without takhya, they will be immediately dismissed from their jobs, “- said, in particular, one of the interlocutors of the radio station.
According to another source of Radio Azatlyk, the takhya on the shaved head is required to be worn until 40 days have passed after the death of Myalikguly Berdimuhamedov.
The demand was allegedly brought after the president himself appeared in public seven days later after the death of his father (as a sign of mourning for the deceased relative).
Radio Azatlyk notes that the president’s son Serdar Berdimuhamedov, who holds the post of deputy prime minister, and other officials are already appearing in public wearing national skullcaps.
Myalikguly Berdimuhamedov passed away on April 18 at the age of 88… The state agency of Turkmenistan did not name the cause of his death.
Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov became president of Turkmenistan in February 2007.
