Ban said he "heard concerns about the deterioration of some aspects of human rights -– a shrinking of democratic space", during his first trip to the region in five years. Speaking to students at an international university in the capital Ashgabat as he received an honorary degree, he said crackdowns on rights could be triggered by "perceived security threats – in particular, rising concerns about terrorism and violent extremism".
