Sojourn of Turkmen opposition in Ukraine may worsen Kyiv-Ashgabat relations: Maiko


The current sojourn of Turkmen oppositioners in Ukraine may have a negative effect on relations between official Kyiv and Ashgabat.
Such is the opinion of Ukrainian ambassador to Turkmenistan Viktor Maiko. He confirmed that officials in Ashgabat were not happy with Kyiv for being host to an official press conference of Turkmen oppositioners in exile earlier this month, during which they appealed to Ukraine, Russia, the USA and the EU for help in holding democratic presidential elections in their home country.
