US Department of State:
"QUESTION:
Sean, could you reflect on the passing of the Turkmen President and perhaps your hopes for that country after his years of unique rule?
MR. MCCORMACK:
Well, certainly our condolences go out to the people of Turkmenistan. This is a real period of a real moment of change for them. They have lost a leader and we offer our condolences to them."
