Turkmenistan news from the horse's mouth.


Eurasianet
http://www.neweurasia.net/category/turkmenistan/
Eurasianet has its very own Turkmenistan blog.  Not that I'm competitive, but you'll find nary a recipe on that site.  Fake translations of PCV conversations?  Nope.   It is, however, informative and funny.  The Russian version has different content, so load it in the Google translator if you're not up on the language.
Through Eurasianet, you can also subscribe to email updates from OSI's Turkmenistan project.  You can enter your email address on the main page at http://www.eurasianet.org/resource/turkmenistan/index.shtml
