Is he a genius or a dyslexic - you go figure!



It turns out that America is not the only state with a language challenged leader.

We may have misunderestimated the impact of this on world affairs.

To quote GWB:

"I do know I'm ready for the job [the presidency]. And if not, that's just the way it goes."

How many other world leaders have said something similar in and in what languages? Who would know anyway with the code of silence which all international Diplomatic translators have to follow. Goodness knows what they hear - and by the time it's translated !! - it's no surprise there's always so much international tension.

Closer to home, we clearly have a very serious problem here in Turkmenistan. Our President can't even spell his own name!

Check these variants out:


  • Sapamurat &nbsp- Pravda (and Aardvark usually but not always)


  • Saparmurat - Currently the market leader (and the CIA so it can't be right)


  • Saparmyrat - The BBC (so it has to right)


  • Sapamyrat  - Currently rare but will be less so when Google scans this line


  • And if you think this entire blog is a blatant attempt to maximize search engine rankings, check out this page from another site covering Turkmenistan affairs and count the spelling variants. Aardvark is not alone!

    If this is all a bit worrying, here's the kicker. Sapa is really Dr. Niyazov and Professor Niyazov as well as President Niyazov and the Turkmenbashi.



    Saparmurat NIYAZOV - Ph.D., Grand Ph.D., Full Prof.

    Honourable Prof. Dr. Saparmurat Niyazov (Turkmenistan) The President of the Turkmenistan Cavalier and Commander, PhD, Grand PhD, Professor. He was first among the Presidents of the countries and state chiefs, awarded with Cavalier and Commander Sign of the International Order "Science. Education. Culture". Saparmurat Niyazov - outstanding state figure, scientific with the worldknown name which has developed and successfully realizing Theory constant Non-interference of the Turkmenistan.

    See here if you don't believe me and to see the above revelation in context. No wonder the Ruhnama is so hard to understand. Our president is a fully accredited mega brain! It's not for ordinary folks like your humble blogger.

    Maybe there are secret cocktail recipes hidden in the text (a sort of Ruhnama code) but it will take far far greater brains than mine to fathom them out. I can't even make any sense of the text above - oh how different it would be if I had a brain like Sapa.

    Let's map Sapa's brain and find out what's so special!

    I have been thinking recently (a major breakthrough) and have realised something. To be properly powerful you need to have a moustache. Sapa definitely has the right look with those chubby cheeks and thick eyebrows, but he is not quite there yet. He needs to take a look at Hitler, Stalin and Saddam Hussein. On 'The OC', Sandy said that eyebrows were a sign of power, but he was definitely forgetting about moustaches. The combination of big eyebrows and moustache would be truly unbeatable.

    What do you reckon? I think this is one of my greatest observations to date.

    You are quite right - never trust a leader without a moustache! (Is that right? - somehow I feel that it doesn't quite capture what's intended - sounds denialably (sic)plausible though!)
