On 30 May 2018 President of Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdymukhammedov signed a resolution to appoint colonel D.Durdyev Deputy Minister of Emergency Situation, chief of the Civil Defense and Rescue Operations Office of the Defense Ministry and relieved him of the post of the head of the Central Office for Procurement and Home Front under the Defense Ministry.
Lieutenant colonel B.Nazarov was appointed as his replacement.
Let us recall that on 15 May rain storms flooded Ashgabat and mudflows hit the provinces.
Two days later the President dismissed Deputy Minister of Defense overseeing Emergency Situations lieutenant colonel Orazmamedov for “shortcomings at work”.
