Young men under the age of 30 in Turkmenistan have been barred from traveling abroad, especially to Turkey, for security reasons, BBC Monitoring reported April 18, citing RFE/RL. Authorities are reportedly attempting to bring back Turkmen nationals abroad, including migrant workers and students studying overseas. In January, Turkmen President Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov issued a resolution that banned the driving of black cars and this latest development suggests further government crackdowns.
