Ashgabat
(Turkmen: Aşgabat, also Ashkabat, Ashkhabad,
Ashgabad, etc) is the capital of
Turkmenistan.The tallest structure in the capital, it was
erected by former president-for-life Saparmurat Niyazov to
commemorate Turkmenistan's official neutrality. It features
ornate inscriptions and a glass elevator. Atop the monument is a
gold-plated statue of Niyazov which rotates 360 degrees over 24
hours so as to always face the sun. The tripod design was
inspired by a traditional Turkmen trivet. Construction of the
arch was completed in 1998.
