Ashgabat, July 8 - Arzuw.news. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Turkmenistan has sent a protest in connection with the dissemination of biased information about the "closedness" of the country in the context of access to the Internet, which was heard today on the Ukrainian TV channel "FREEDOM". This is reported on the official website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Turkmenistan.
The Foreign Ministry emphasized that representatives of the TV channel had never visited Turkmenistan and had no real information about the current state of the republic. According to the ministry, this is not the first case of disinformation spread by the Ukrainian channel, which broadcasts deliberately implausible and distorted information about Turkmenistan.
In the statement, the Foreign Ministry recalled the many years of economic and humanitarian support that Turkmenistan had provided to the Ukrainian people throughout the entire period of independence. Since the 1990s, the republic has been supplying natural gas to Ukraine in significant volumes.
In addition, Ukrainian companies have implemented projects worth billions of dollars in Turkmenistan in the energy, road, transportation, communication and infrastructure sectors.
The Turkmen side demanded that the relevant state bodies of Ukraine take the necessary measures to prevent similar cases in the future. The statement was published by the press service of the Turkmen Foreign Ministry.
