Under the Letter of the Law

The right of citizens to participate in public and state administration, both directly and through their freely elected representatives, and the right to elect and be elected to bodies of state power and local governments play an important role in building a democratic state. International legal acts attach great importance to the exercise of electoral rights. In this regard, one of the fundamental principles for organising and conducting elections is to ensure that the citizens of the country are aware of their electoral rights and the guarantees that these rights are exercised. Aman AMANOV, a lawyer of the Central Office of the Central Commission for Elections and Referenda of Turkmenistan, answers the questions of our correspondent. NT: “The right to elect and be elected is one of the fundamental political rights of citizens of Turkmenistan. Who is eligible to this right?”

Halk Maslahaty: Historical Traditions and Novels

As history testifies, with all the originality and variety of forms of exercising power in the vast majority of modern states, the functions of the highest body are entrusted precisely to representative bodies. In the science of constitutional law, popular representation is most often associated with representative bodies of power. According to constitutional theory and practice, one of the important organisational and legal means of expressing the interests of the people (of all strata of the population) has always been precisely the bodies of people’s representation. For Turkmenistan, this practice is also no exception. After gaining sovereignty in 1990 and declaring state independence in 1991, Turkmenistan faced the problem of determining the path of its further national state building and forming fundamentally different institutions of power, and, ultimately, its own model of popular representation. With the adoption of the Constitution of Turkmenistan on May 18, 1992, a new era began in the history of national state building, characterised by a radical transition to a new type of state system. The formation of a new state system was carried out in combination with the revival of the institutions of people’s power, historically established among the Turkmen people.

Achievements Gained – a Groundwork for Future Progress

The agroindustrial sector is tasked to put into life the reforms initiated by the President in agriculture and water management, to facilitate the implementation of the state agricultural programmes, to achieve food self-sufficiency through import substitution, to focus the efforts of the state on setting up the extensive network of domestic food enterprises and, as a clear result, to create an abundance in grocery stores and vegetable markets. Responding to state support, the agrarians showed good results in the production of vegetables, melons and gourds, fruit, berries, bread and bakery products last year. The grain growers exceeded the production plan and filled about 1.5 million tonnes of white wheat into the bins of the Motherland. Silk growers worked hard and exceeded the state production order for 2,300 tonnes of cocoons, and cotton growers produced the valuable raw materials for the textile industry. This year, Turkmenistan’s agroindustrial sector is preparing to successfully conduct the cotton campaign in accordance with the Resolution issued by the President at the meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers of Turkmenistan in the Mary velayat. It was reported that 580,000 hectares of irrigated land were allocated to produce 1.25 million tonnes of this valuable crop that year.

People’s Representation: a New Look

Popular representation is the most important feature of the modern parliamentary system. It clearly expresses the dominant position of the representative function as an expression of the interests and will of the entire people, that is, the totality of the citizens of that state. The search for the most favourable form corresponding to the people (nation) in a particular country is a rather long and complex process. And among the Turkmen people, they are rooted in the distant past. The institution of direct participation of the people in determining the fate of the state and society appeared already in the first Turkmen states, first in the form of community (tribal) maslahats (kurultays – congresses), and then in state-structured authorities. The original national traditions of popular representation even today serve as important and cornerstone pillars of the constitutional system, on which the social and state unity of our country and its people has been based for centuries. The representative function is predominant or fundamental in relation to law making.
