The sister of the former president of Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdymuhamedov Gulnabat Doznitov was fired from the post of head of the National Society of the Red Crescent. According to the source of Radio Azatlyk, the once influential Doznitova was dismissed by order of her nephew – the current head of the country, Serdar Berdimuhamedov. The source explains this step by attempt by the new president to improve his image, getting rid of the toxic reputation of his relatives.
The dismissal of 60-year-old Gulnabat Doznitova from the post of head of the National Society of the Red Crescent was the first to report the independent publication Turkmen.news. But the source of Azatlyk reported this in early May.
According to Dostitutov, he was dismissed by order of her nephew – the newly elected president of Serdar Berdimuhamedov on April 20. Azatlyk has not yet been able to confirm the information received from one source through other channels. But the publication Turkmen.news on June 13 confirmed this information with reference to its source in the Foreign Ministry of Turkmenistan.
