BUCHAREST, 10 January 2001 - The OSCE Chairman-in-Office, Romanian Foreign Minister Mircea Dan Geoana, welcomes the Turkmen Government's decision to release Primukuli Tanrykuliev and Nurberdy Nurmamedov from prison, as part of a larger amnesty of 12,000 prisoners. Mr. Geoana highly appreciates the decisive contribution of the President of Turkmenistan to this humanitarian gesture.
Commending this decision, the OSCE Chairman-in-Office encourages the Turkmen authorities to take similar amnesty decisions with regard to Mukhamad Aimuradov and Shageldi Atakov, who have been in prison for several years.
The Turkmen authorities and civil society can be assured of the OSCE full support for such measures, which are in keeping with the OSCE principles and commitments assumed by the participating States.
