His government sent English-language copies to several public libraries in the US, including one in Western Washington. Since Americans don't have to memorize it to pass our driver's exam, we declined to add it to the collection.

You've missed out on some of his bigger hits. He closed all libraries, since "Turkmen don't read," closed all rural hospitals, because if people got sick, "they can come to the capital," and said instead of seeing dentists, people should chew on bones.
