Our man on the ground decided to see what it’s like for themselves and sent back these images of President Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov demonstrating his many talents and abilities.
Here is President Berdymukhamedov on a horse
And with some camels, who respect him
And some lambs, who are not at all freaked out by his hat
With some delicious fruit
Here he is on another horse
We see a theme emerging
Here he is looking very serious in some kind of factory
Fighting a child
This time he's picking cotton in an apron. He's definitely in the cotton field. Not photoshopped in anyway
Hanging out with some garment workers. Again this picture does not look doctored, in anyway whatsoever
Cooking outside his luxury yurt. With horse and puppies. The sheep are quietly attempting their escape
Now he's inside the yurt, either sleeping or reading. Or maybe both?
Embracing an old woman
Keeping fit
Here he is listening intensely
\
Addressing the nation in front of a backdrop of kitchen lino
We're not sure what's going on here but it looks important
The piece de resistance - standing in front of a picture of a boat looking out to sea. Or possibly in to land
If you want to find out anymore about President Berdymukhamedov, there's plenty of reading material in the book shop
Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov: crazy name, crazy guy!
