Turkmenistan names new Azerbaijan envoy
ASHGABAT – Turkmenistan has appointed its new envoy to Azerbaijan, over a month after the sudden demise of the former ambassador Annamamed Mamedov. Toyli Komekov will take the post, according to a decree enacted by President Kurbanguly Berdymukhamedov on Thursday.
Komekov has so far chaired the state body on Caspian issues under the Turkmen president and represented his country in talks on the legal status of the basin.
Murat Atajanov has been appointed as head of the state body.
Komekov’s predecessor Annamamed Mamedov died of a kidney failure on November 12 at the age of 40. Mamedov had undergone surgery on his liver in Istanbul a year earlier. He was taken to Germany after his condition deteriorated and passed away there.
