Law Enforcement In Turkmenistan
Law enforcement in Turkmenistan is carried out by the Interior Ministry and the Ministry of National Security (KNB). The Interior Ministry commands the 25,000 personnel of the national police force directly, while the KNB deals with intelligence work. The criminal justice system is similar to the Soviet one. The KNB carries out similar work to the KGB of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, and works with the Federal Intelligence Service of Russia (having signed a contract with them in 1994). The ministry, as the Soviet predecessor, controls the police, which have offices in major cities throughout the country. On the international level, the Interior Ministry and KNB work to combat drug trafficking and organized crime.

Definition of independence Whether the attainment of independence is different from revolution has long been contested, and has often been debated over the question of violence as legitimate means to achieving sovereignty. In general, revolutions aim only to redistribute power with or without an element of emancipation,such as in democratization ''within'' a state, which as such may remain unaltered. For example, the Mexican Revolution (1910) chiefly refers to a multi-factional conflict that even ...
