Han Ahmedowiç Ahmedow (in Russian : Хан Ахмедов, Khan Akhmedovich Akhmedov, June 16, 1936 – December 6, 2006) was Prime Minister of Turkmenistan from December 1989 to May 1992. During his time in office, Turkmenistan declared independence from the collapsing Soviet Union in October 1991. Afterwards, Ahmedow became Railways Minister (1991-1992) and then ambassador to Turkey (1992-1994). In September 2002 he was arrested and placed under internal exile in Serdar, where he remained until he died of a heart attack in late 2006. According to relatives of Ahmedow, the government did not allow him to receive medical treatment in Ashgabat.[1]
