What it requires
- Do not create, use, or distribute a computer program intended to disrupt the normal operation of a computer, subscriber device, computer program, information system, or information-telecommunication network, and do not unlawfully destroy, block, reformat, or copy information protected by Turkmen law that is stored on an electronic medium or passing through such a network; a higher penalty applies where the target is a national information source, the national information system, or a critical information-communication infrastructure object.
These lines are LexLint's reading of the law's text.

What it makes you log
Logging duty
Article 379 punishes unlawful destruction of protected information in an information system, creating programs meant to disrupt the normal operation of a computer or network, and producing, blocking, reformatting, copying, using or distributing such programs (English as in the pinpoint above). It imposes no duty to create, keep, produce or review a log or record. The Code's general territorial articles are not invoked by the article, so no hook is recorded.

What this law does
Article 379(1) punishes the unlawful destruction of legally protected information in an information system or passing through an information-telecommunication network, the creation of a computer program intended to disrupt the normal operation of a computer, a subscriber device, another computer program, an information system, or an information-telecommunication network, and, separately, the production of, or unauthorized alteration, blocking, reformatting, or copying of, such information or software, along with the deliberate use or distribution of a program built for that purpose.
Article 379(2) raises the penalty where the act targets a national information source, the national information system, or a critically important information-communication infrastructure object, or is committed using one's official position. Article 379(3) raises it further where the acts caused grave consequences or were committed by a group by prior conspiracy or an organized group.
