TURKMEN PRESIDENT RESHUFFLES CABINET
Turkmen President Saparmurat Niyazov appointed two new deputy prime
ministers at a cabinet meeting on 15 November, RIA-Novosti and centrasia.ru
reported the following day. Agriculture Minister Begench Atamuradov was
appointed deputy prime minister for agriculture while retaining his
ministerial post; poet Gozel Nuralieva, chief editor of the daily
"Neitralnyi Turkmenistan," was appointed deputy prime minister and will head
the newly created Culture and Information Ministry. Former Culture Minister
Orazgeldy Aidogdyev, who had held the post since 1995, was fired for failing
to discover new cultural stars, while Muhammednazar Khudaikuliev, the
long-serving minister of construction and building-materials production, was
reportedly fired for incompetence. Deputy Prime Minister Rejepdurdy Ataev
was given Khudaikuliev's post. Water Resources Minister Kurbangeldy
Volmuradov, who was accused of abuse of office, was replaced by Byashimklych
Kalandarov, head of the cabinet's agriculture department. BB
