What’s going on in Bender Türkmen?

Friday Dec. 27, 2007

During the night, a large “Sea Guard” force’s patrol-ship purposely crashed into a small fishermen’s boat in the Caspian Sea. The boat was occupied by 3 young men, one of which was killed. The unemployed young man was only 18 years old, and had been fishing to feed his family.

An angry group of people attacked the municipality building of the city and broke doors, windows and equipment, including some boats which were in the yard.

Early the next day, (Monday Dec. 31.12.2007) officials began to make arrests and take people into custody who were suspected to be involved in the attack. They were taken to an unknown place.
This is not the first time such events have happened. Rather than create employment for these people, government organizations invest their time in hunting after them. This has been ongoing for several years. This event illustrates the intractability of the “Sea Guard” forces and it is not the first time such events have occurred. It is definitely not the last time. Will the government leave these culpable people without punishment this time again? Perhaps this is not the most important point to this question, for if the government will not provide jobs for these citizens, this same scenario will be repeated for years. The events clearly portray a government which does not think in any long-term manner about its people.
