schema:articleBody	Turkmenistan's strongman leader approved constitutional changes on Friday including the creation of a potentially powerful new position in parliament, fuelling speculation that he plans to hand power to his son. President Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov signed off on changes including the creation of an upper house of parliament, with the head of the new chamber positioned to become acting president if the head of state is unable to fulfil his duties, the state information agency said. Berdymukhamedov's son Serdar is widely believed to be in pole position to head up the senate-like body, paving the way for a potential hereditary succession. Berdymukhamedov pledged that the new legislature would "bring the activity of democratic institutions to a new level" and said that lawmakers would be elected to the restructured parliament next year, after the changes enter force. The amendments were approved by the present parliament and another quasi-legislative body during a session that Berdymukhamedov addressed via teleconference. Annette Bohr, an associate fellow of the Russia and Eurasia programme at Chatham House think tank, said most analysts were "placing their bets on the position ultimately going to Serdar", a lawmaker and minister whose rise through government ranks she described as meteoric. But she dismissed the idea that the restructure might affect the way the authoritarian state is run, with all institutions including the parliament seen as unbendingly loyal to Berdymukhamedov. "It is a bit like moving books around on a bookshelf when it is clear that the government should be enacting much more urgent reforms aimed at saving the ailing economy," Bohr told AFP. Serdar Berdymukhamedov is currently minister of industry and construction, a position he combines with a place in the parliament and chairmanship of the national dog association. Berdymukhamedov faces no opposition at home, where he benefits from fawning media coverage of his personal hobbies and is feted by a golden statue of his likeness on horseback. al-cr/as/jxb
