TO GO WITH AFP STORY by Anton Lomov

Undated photo shows people attending one of the official state ceremonies in Ashgabat with laptops in front of them. Turkmenistan, an energy-rich Central Asian nation bordering Afghanistan and Iran, was for two decades ruled by dictator Saparmurat Niyazov, best remembered for his bizarre personality cult complete with gold statues, his own philosophy book and deep suspicion of cyberspace. After his death in 2007, the country has taken cautious steps to dismantle his legacy. The first two Internet cafes opened in Ashgabat two days after the inauguration of the new president, Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov. AFP PHOTO / IGOR SASIN
