Turkmen President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov was seen riding bicycles and horses, rocking out with instruments, lifting weights, bowling, firing rifles and driving donuts around the Gates of Hell.
The leader of Turkmenistan has defied rumors of his death by appearing in a colorful montage appearing to suggest his recent absence was merely a particularly active summer vacation.
In the clip's climax, Berdimuhamedov — sometimes spelled Berdimuhamedow — straps himself into a sports SUV adorned with national logos while wearing race gear and drives out into the Karakum Desert, eventually reaching the Darvaza gas crater, a collapsed natural gas field that has been burning since 1971 and is better known at home and abroad as the Gates of Hell.
A sports vehicle apparently driven by Turkmen President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov is seen driving donuts near the edge of the Darvaza gas crater, popularly known as the Gates of Hell, in the Karakum Desert, in this footage aired by state-run Altyn Asyr channel, August 4.
"At sundown, as [it] grew darker, the president came to the unique attraction of Turkmen desert, 'the Light of the Karakum,'" the article read."Having driven around the flaming crater, the Head of the State enjoyed its unusual view, which is very effective in the darkness."
