| Description | The president of Turkmenistan has urged his people to resist the fashion for gold-capped teeth.
The central Asian state's self-proclaimed president-for-life, Saparmurat Niyazov, issued the dental directive during a televised ceremony on Tuesday.
The president told a young woman at the ceremony to have her conspicuous gold teeth replaced with white ones by his health minister, "himself a dentist".
Style tips from the president - who likes to be known as Turkmenbashi or "Father of all Turkmen" - tend to be interpreted as law in Turkmenistan. |
