revolution? what revolution?

nothing to see here. my favorite part of the article is at the very end:

Turkmenistan, the most isolated and repressive of the Central Asian regimes, completely ignored the events in Kyrgyzstan.

State television showed day-old footage of a visit by Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko, who had come to discuss gas supplies with Turkmen leader Saparmurat Niyazov, who declared himself president-for-life several years ago.

just a slight hint of irony there. i wonder if the turkmen press ever even reported that yushchenko became the president of ukraine.
