BBC NEWS | Asia-Pacific | Turkmenistan bans recorded music: "Turkmen President Saparmurat Niyazov has banned the playing of recorded music at all public events, on television and at weddings.
In a decree, Mr Niyazov said there was a need to protect Turkmen culture from 'negative influences'.
This is the latest move by the authoritarian president to minimise foreign influence in the isolated former Soviet state, analysts say.
He has already banned opera and ballet, describing them as 'unnecessary'."
