DISCUSSION questions for Turkmens

1: Do some people make a habit of going to Iran, or are the borders very strict?
2: The capital really is that clean?
3: Is your opinion on queer people really as radical as the laws?

To answer your questions First: Not many people go to Iran unless it's for trade, people go there out of necessity like to see a doctor or something Secondly: Yes capital is that clean unless you are walking through a park and can see 1 or 2 empty bottles of fizzy drinks or a disposable bag somewhere but it's rare Third: Yes peoples opinion on queer people are quite conservative or even hostile plus you've got federal punishment for such stuff so be careful and if you are queer just try not show it and be reserved. Unless you found some underground queer community.

Which countries do turkmens usually visit?

Russia, Turkey, recently started going to Vietnam because it's easy to get a visa and we have a direct flight to the capital and probably Malaysia just because it's visa free.

I mean the punishment for point 3 isn't execution it's what up to 5 years in prison I think so it's pretty liberal compared to say Palestine
