중앙아시아에 있는 북한과 똑같은 말도 안 되는 나라, 투르크메니스탄의 역사 유목민족사

Hello, this is History Observer. Central Asia has a history that the world doesn't pay much attention to. It's the history of the Stans. But ironically, Central Asia is a place that stimulates mysteriousness and curiosity. Central Asian Stans are a country built by nomads in the past, but nomads are a bit different today. That's why Central Asian countries seem to be more attractive. In this video, I will talk about the history of Turkmenistan, which is the birthplace of Turkmenistan. First of all, the meaning of Stan is the land of someone. So you can interpret Turkmenistan's country name as the land of Turkmen. Turkmen, as clearly shown in their nationality and name, is a Turk-like nation like Uzbek, Kyrgyz, and Kazakh. Turkmen knows Turk, but they don't know what man means, so nothing has been revealed about this meaning. Let's go back to the national origin. Uzbeks are of Turkic origin, Kyrgyz and Kazakh are Turkic, and Tajik is a complete Persian-Iranian family. Turkmen are a mixed race of Turkmen and Persian. Logically, Turkmenistan is in the north of Uzbekistan, and below that is Iran and Afghanistan. The ancestors of Turkmen are called Oghz Turk, which is a nation made up of Seljuk Turk and Osman Turk. However, after Oghz Turk conquered Seljuk Turk, the nation was divided, half of which conquered Osman Turk, and the other half split into the way of forming Turkmenistan. Therefore, Turkmenistan and Turkey are called the same nation. Of course, they are the same Islam. Both are the only Turk in the Turkish culture. The original Turkmenistan was full of Iran and Persian princes. Then, the Turkic nations gradually took over this region, and the country in the transition period was the Kingdom of Horazm, which lasted from the 11th century to the 13th century. Anushtekin, a Turkic slave from Seljuk, was appointed as the governor of the Horazm region by the Seljuk Sultan, and he grew up and became independent based on the trade of the Middle Ages. The Horazm Kingdom, which grew more and more, one day took over the entire region of Transoxiana, which had lost Central Asia, and became the strongest Islamic state in Central Asia. Although the royal family of the Horazm Kingdom was of the Turkic lineage, most of the people were Persian, and the overall culture of Persia was strong. However, as you all know, the Horazm Kingdom was destroyed by the Mongols of Genghis Khan. It was not just a level of destruction, but the country and major cities were subjugated. With Genghis Khan's unique massacre policy, it even destroyed small traces of the Horazm. In this way, the Turkmen who came out of the Seljuk-Turkic, who were weakened by the influence of Persia, settled in Transoxiana on the same day. They didn't just settle down, they built a country. The region was still ruled by the Mongol Empire, but on the same day, when Turkmenistan was in power, it was ruled by Iran, one of the four major Mongol states. Iran was ruled by Hulagu, the grandson of Genghis Khan, and Hulagu supported Kublai Khan as the next Great Khan, so he appointed Kublai Khan to Hulagu as the Great Khan of Iran. Turkmen, who were ruled by Iran, were ruled by the Timur Empire, which was the successor of Genghis Khan, after the collapse of the Mongol Empire. When the Timur Empire was defeated by the Uzbeks, they were ruled by one of the Uzbek Khans, the Khiva Khans. The Turkmen were a part of the Khiva Khans. At this time, the Turkmen were very vicious. The Turkmen were a nation of kidnapping and human trafficking. At that time, one of the Uzbek Khans, the Khokhant Khan of the East, kidnapped Chinese and Han Chinese. It seems that the Turkmen were also affected by this. The main target of the Turkmen kidnapping was the Russians, who were in the middle of military advance or exploration in Central Asia at the time. The kidnapping and human trafficking of the Turkmen that Russia suffered was so serious that Russia launched a larger-scale military advance and took over Central Asia in the end. Russia collapsed in 1917 with the Russian Revolution, and when the Soviet Union took over, in 1925, the Soviet Union established the Turkmen Soviet Socialist Republic in the area where the Turkmen lived collectively. As the Soviet Union was disbanded in 1991, the Turkmen Soviet Socialist Republic became Turkmenistan today. The capital of the Turkmen Soviet Socialist Republic is Asikabat, which means the city of love in Asikabat. The flag is green, like the culture of Islam and Persia, and the crescent moon and star that symbolize Islam and the left side of the flag is the biggest pride of Turkmenistan, which is the carpet. The first president of Turkmenistan was President Safar Murat Niyazov, who was the head of the Turkmen Communist Party during the socialist republic. Like all the first presidents of other Central Asian countries who were independent from the Soviet Union, Turkmenistan is also a dictatorship. The first president, Safar Murat Niyazov, was independent from independence in 1991 to 2006, and after the death of Niyazov, Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, who was the second in power, monopolized Turkmenistan from 2006 to 2022. Turkmenistan is a typical North Korea. Turkmenistan has oil, natural gas, and rich resources, but it is a very poor country, because all its profits are subsidized by the monopolist. President Niyazov, like Kim Il-sung of North Korea, monopolized the policy of idolizing himself, and even made his own competition, Ruhunama, and published it. This competition is one of the essential subjects for the teenage students of Turkmenistan, and it is also a test subject. President Niyazov said that he would make the capital, Ashgabat, the most brilliant city in the world, and ordered the entire city to be replaced with a white marble, and the current capital, Ashgabat, is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the city with the highest marble density in the city. President Niyazov called himself the father of the Turkmen, so he called himself Turkmenbashi. President Niyazov's grave is called Turkmenbashi, and it is almost like a palace. President Gurbanguly, the second president, also ordered the idolization policy of President Niyazov, and the car to be replaced with a white one, and all the cars in Ashgabat, which were full of white marble, became white cars, making Ashgabat a very symbolic city. President Gurbanguly, the second president, withdrew the competition, Ruhunama, and promised a multi-party system, but all these parties are left-wing parties by Gurbanguly. It's just that one dictator has several parties. Turkmenistan also has a terrible swimming pool like the Soviet Union or North Korea in the past. More than half of Turkmenistan's territory is the Karakum Desert, which means a black desert. It's a desert with the famous fire of hell. In the middle of the Karakum Desert, there is a swimming pool called Ohadandepe. It's a place where political prisoners are usually swimmed, but it's so secretly attached that there are more hidden things, but it's like the Seodaemun Prison in the Japanese colonial era. No, there are even worse tortures than that. Turkmenistanis can't travel abroad freely, and foreigners can't easily visit Turkmenistan. You have to have a invitation to enter. It's the same as North Korea. In particular, there is one decisive thing that is the same as North Korea. In 2022, Gurbanguly, the second president, who held the presidential election, resigned, and his son Serdar Berdimuhamedov became the third president. In other words, he became a rich man. Serdar is a very young president, but his father Gurbanguly is still alive, and Turkmenistan is still the most ridiculous dictatorship in Central Asia. So it was a history book.
