Hudaýberdi Orazow
Hudaýberdi Orazow (also Chudaiberdy Orasow ; * 1951 in Daşoguz , Turkmen SSR , Soviet Union ) is a Turkmen politician, former head of the central bank of Turkmenistan and former deputy prime minister.
Professional career
Hudaýberdi Orazow studied economics in Ashgabat at the Turkmen State University and in Moscow . He then worked at the central authority for the price policy of the Soviet planned economy (" Goskomzen ") and at the economic department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union . From 1988 he was deputy head of the subsidiary of the state Schilsozbank in Turkmenistan. From 1990 he headed the Turkmenistan Bank , from 1992 the state-owned Turkmen foreign trade bank . From 1993 to 1999 he was head of the central bank and then until 2000 as deputy prime minister responsible for economic issues.
Confrontation with the regime
After his career as central bank governor and deputy prime minister, Orazow was accused of embezzling funds from an agricultural loan from Credit Suisse and Deutsche Bank in 1997. The coincidence of his arrest with joining the opposition a month earlier raised strong suspicions that the arrest was political.
The Turkmen officials also accuse Orazov of being involved in an act of conspiracy against former President Saparmyrat Ataýewiç Nyýazow , together with Boris Orazowiç Şyhmyradow and Nurmuhammed Hanamow . The aim of this was to “overthrow the country's constitutional order” in November 2002 and to seize power by force.
In 2001, Orazow fled abroad through the Karakum Desert .
Working in exile
Orazow lives in Sweden and is chairman of the exiled opposition party Vatan . After the death of dictator Saparmurat Niyazov ("Turkmenbashi") he was supposed to be the opposition's presidential candidate, but could not run for election.
