Russia's Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev (5th R) poses for a family photo with the heads of governments of the countries, members of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), during their summit in Ashgabat, the capital of Turkmenistan, on May 30, 2012.
Turkmenistan (also known as Turkmenia) is a country in Central Asia. The name Turkmenistan is derived from Persian, meaning "land of the Turkmen". Until 1991 it was a constituent republic of the Soviet Union, the Turkmen Soviet Socialist Republic. It is bordered by Afghanistan to the southeast, Iran to the southwest, Uzbekistan to the northeast, Kazakhstan to the northwest, and the Caspian Sea to the west. 87 percent of the population is Muslim, most of them having Turkish origin. Although it is wealthy in natural resources in certain areas, most of it is covered by the Karakum (Black Sands) Desert. It has a single-party system and was ruled by President for Life Saparmurat Niyazov until 2006-12-21, when he died of cardiac arrest.
