Yippee..my first card from Turkmenistan, country #145. Kjersti wrote in her card that Turkmenistan is one of the least visited countries in the world, but there is a lot of great things to see and do here.
Thanks a lot Kjersti for sending this card from your vacation. It sure looks like a nice place to visit.
"Ashgabat (Turkmen: Aşgabat,; Persian: اشک آباد; Russian: Ашхаба́д, tr. Ashkhabad]) between 1919 and 1927, is the capital and the largest city of Turkmenistan in Central Asia, situated between the Karakum Desert and the Kopet Dag mountain range. The 2001 census estimated a population of 695,300, while the 2009 census estimated a population of 1 million, primarily Turkmen people, with ethnic minorities of Russians, Armenians, and Azerbaijanis."
This card from Turkmenistan now completes the Central Asia part of my world collection!
