1 | Lies, Damned Lies, and Turkmen Statistics | Lainga, Laingan-doza, ary ny Antontan'isa Tiorka |
2 | When it comes to statistics, the Turkmen government remains committed to the time-honored Soviet principles of book-cooking, data fudging and avoiding the uncomfortable truth at all costs. | Rehefa antontan'isa no resaka, dia mijanona manaraka am-bokony fotsiny ny foto-kevitra fony faha-Sovietika ny governemanta Tiorkmena, toy ny amin'ny boky fandrahoan-tsakafo, fanodinkodinana angon-tahiry sy fanalàna an'izay marina rehetra mety manelingelina. |
3 | Five-year plans exist, and the targets set in them are regularly exceeded, while failures such as the abject performance of the country's youth football team at the 2012 Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) Cup or the deadly explosions at an Abadan arms depot in July 2011 are simply not reported. | Misy ny lamina napetraka mandritra ny dimy taona, ary saika nihoarana foana ireo tanjona napetraka tamin'izy ireny, nefa tsy nolazaina akory ny zavatra tsy nanjary toy ny haratsin'ny zavabitan'ny ekipan'ny tanora manao kitra tamin'ny Amboaran'ny Firenena Mahaleo tena Miteny sy Mampiasa ny Teny Anglisy 2012 (CIS - Commonwealth of Independent States) na koa ny fipoahana mahafaty tany amin'ny toby fitahirizana fitaovam-piadiana tany Abadan tamin'ny Jolay 2011. |
4 | But a more stark exhibit of Ashgabat's reckless attitude to facts and data can be seen in the official statistics on the number of people living with HIV in the country. | Fa mbola azo jerena ao amin'ny antontan'isa ofisialy ihany koa ny fampisehoan' i Ashgabat mibaribary ny fihetsika tsy voatandriny eo amin'ny zava-misy sy ny angon-tahiry momba ny isan'ny olona mitondra ny VIH eo amin'ny firenena. |
5 | According to Index Mundi, which compiles country profiles on a host of issues based on multiple sources (in this case, apparently, just one), the last HIV-infected person in Turkmenistan ceased to exist - statistically speaking - in 2008. | Raha ny fahitan'ny Index Mundi azy, izay manambatra ireo endrika mampiavaka ny firenena, amin'ny fampiantranoana ireo olana miainga avy aminà loharano maro (amin'ity tranga ity aloha, toa iray ihany), dia tapitra tsy nisy intsony tamin'ny 2008 ny olona mitondra ny otrikaretina VIH tany Tiorkmenistana - raha ny antontan'isa no vakiana. |
6 | Even prior to that breakthrough, though, the recording of cases seems to have been somewhat arbitrary, with a preference for round figures: 100, 100, 100, 200, 200, 200, 200… | Na mavesa-danja toy inona aza izany zava-baovao izany, dia toa tongatonga ho azy, miaraka amin'ny isa noboriboriana, ny fandraketana ny tranga : 100, 100, 100, 200, 200, 200, 200… |

8 | And while HIV-infected people have dropped off the map, the wheat harvest keeps going up. | Ary raha nanjavona tao anatin'ny kisary ny olona mitondra ny otrik'aretina VIH, dia mitohy mitombo hatrany ihany kosa ny fijinjana ny varim-bazaha. |
9 | The government-run Turkmenistan.ru website has reported [ru] triumphantly: | Taterin'[ru] ny tranonkala tantànan'ny fanjakàna, Turkmenistan.ru, toy ny fanaon'ny mpandresy : |
10 | Turkmen grain-growers have delivered to the country's procurement centers more than one million tons of wheat. | Nanolotra varim-bazaha iray tapitrisa taonina hoan'ny ivontoeran'ny famatsiana masomboly ny firenena ireo Tiorkmena mpamboly masomboly . |
11 | This achievement suggests that farmers will be able to meet the principal target of the 2012 harvest season, that is, to reap a rich harvest without losses and deliver 1.6 million tons of grain. | Milaza ity zava-bita ity fa afaka manatratra tsara ny tanjona fototra tamin'ny taom-pijinjana 2012 ireo tantsaha, izany hoe, hijinja vokatra tsy misy fatiantoka ary ho afaka hanolotra masomboly 1.6 tapitrisa taonina. |
12 | Turkmenistan.ru added [ru] boastfully that even Alexander Lukashenko, the President of Belarus, said he was envious of the Turkmen grain harvest. | Nanampy [ru] sy dedaka ihany koa ny Turkmenistan.ru fa na i Alexander Lukashenko, Filohan'i Belarosia, aza dia nilaza fa nitsirirtra ny jinja vokatra Tiorkmena. |
13 | Another government-run news website reported [ru] that Turkmen President Gurbanguly Berdymuhamedov had presented a Cadillac Escalade to the wheat growers of Lebap province, in the north-east of the country. | Nitatitra [ru] ihany koa ny tranonkalam-baovao iray hafa tantànan'ny governemanta fa nanolotra Cadillac Escalade ny filoha Tiorkena Gurbanguly Berdymuhamedov ho an'ny mpamboly varim-bazaha any amin'ny Farintanin'i Lebap, any avaratra atsinanan'ny firenena. |
14 | But back in the ‘real world,' on the dissident-run media portal Chrono-tm.org, Turkmen netizens are less than impressed with the government's preference for good news over bad. | Fa andeha hiverina amin'ny ‘tontolo tena izy,' tsy taitra firy amin'ny safidin'ny governemanta amin'ny vaovao ratsy na tsara ny Tiorkmena mponina amin'ny aterineto, eo amin'ny vavahadin'ny Chrono-tm.org haino aman-jery tantanan'ny mpanohitra ny governemanta. |
15 | One individual suggested [ru] that despite the ‘rich' harvests reportedly reaped each year, the price for bread continued to rise. | Nandroso soso-kevitra [ru] ny olona iray fa na dia eo aza ny fijinjana ‘tsara' lazaina fa azo isan-taona, dia tsy mitsahatra ny miakatra ny vidin'ny mofo. |
16 | Several other individuals wondered what the farmers that had received a Cadillac from the Turkmen leader were going to do with it. | Maro ny olon-kafa no manontany hoe inona ary izao no hampiasàn'ireo mpamboly an'ity Cadillac avy amin'ny mpitarika Tiorkmena ity. |
17 | As one user, Toyli, commented [ru] sarcastically: | Nanao fanehoankevitr mahatsikaiky [ru] i Toyli, amin'ny maha mpampiasa azy: |
18 | So what? | Ka ahoana ary? |
19 | Will all those grain-growers now take turns to drive the Cadillac? | Andeha hiova hitondra ity Cadillac ity indray izany izao ireo mpamokatra masomboly ireo? |
20 | Great job Berdymuhamedov!.. | Hevitra tsara ry Berdymuhamedov!.. |
