EZ8BP Turkmenistan and DXCC

EZ8BP Vladimir send me his QSL card to confirm our QSO on 14MhzCW. New country on HF for me. And for me is counted as NEW DXCC. Direct envelope from Turkmenistan is my proof. But if I would like to  apply for DX Awards ... his station, his QSL from Turkmenistan is NOT VALID.
Amateur radio is banned in Turkmenistan from 2006. EI9KC is not interested to obtain DX Awards at the moment (too expensive piece of paper to hang on the wall) I count his station as my NEW COUNTRY.
