Turkmenistan

Turkmenistan is made up mainly of desert and has the smallest population of the five former Soviet republics in Central Asia. It possesses the world's fifth largest reserves of natural gas, and has substantial deposits of oil.

Turkmenistan is the most ethnically homogeneous of the Central Asian republics, the vast majority of its population consisting of Turkmens. There are also Uzbeks, Russians and smaller minorities of Kazakhs, Tatars, Ukrainians, Azerbaijanis and Armenians.

 Some tourist data

In the middle of a windy, sprawling desert just outside the Turkmen capital Ashgabat lie the ruins of an ancient mosque.

Hundreds of people come here every Friday, not only to pray but also to visit the grave of Jamal al-Din, a sheikh who built the mosque in the 15th Century. His tomb is said to have special powers.

But apart from its alleged magical powers, the site, and the area around it have a unique architectural and archaeological value.

The mosque was destroyed in 1948 when a massive earthquake hit Ashgabat.

It was only after the fall of the Soviet Union that local archaeologists restored parts of the site.

Among the remnants that they managed to rescue was the front panel featuring the snake shaped bodies of two dragons, a highly unusual ornament in Islamic architecture.

Now local archaeologists plan to launch the second stage of the restoration and prop up the remnants of the mosque.

There is more to be found in the Annau hills nearby, where research has already revealed the existence of ancient settlements that date back more than 4,000 years.

Set along the ancient Silk Road, Turkmenistan is home to dozens of unique archaeological sites, including the ancient cities of Merv, Margoush and Nisa, which was the capital of the ancient Parthian Empire.

Although they are part of the Unesco World Heritage site, until recently they were closed to the most Western tourists, but current government says it wants to open up, and that they hope that their country's ancient cities will help them to attract tourists. •
