The name "Turkmen" comes from Turk, plus the Sogdian suffix -men, meaning "almost Turk", in reference to their status outside the Turkic dynastic mythological system.[13] However, some scholars argue the suffix is an intensifier, changing the meaning of Türkmen to "pure Turks" or "the Turkish Turks."[14] Muslim chroniclers like Ibn Kathir suggested that the etymology of Turkmenistan came from the words faith, belief") in reference to a massive conversion to Islam of two hundred" , إﯾﻤﺎن :Türk and Iman (Arabic thousand households in the year 97 1.[15] History Historically inhabited by the Indo-Iranians, the written history of Turkmenistan begins with its annexation by the Achaemenid Empire of Ancient Iran. In the 8th century AD, Turkic-speaking Oghuz tribes moved from Mongolia into present-day Central Asia. Part of a powerful confederation of tribes, these Oghuz formed the ethnic basis of the modern Turkmen population.[16] In the 10th century, the name "Turkmen" was first applied to Oghuz groups that accepted Islam and began to occupy present-day Turkmenistan.[16] There they were under the dominion of the Seljuk Empire, which was composed of Oghuz groups living in present-day Iran and Turkmenistan.[16] Turkmen soldiers in the service of the empire played an important role in the spreading of Turkic culture when they migrated westward into present-day Azerbaijan and eastern Turkey.[16] In the 12th century, Turkmen and other tribes overthrew the Seljuk Empire.[16] In the next century, the Mongols took over the more northern lands where the Turkmens had settled, scattering the Turkmens southward and contributing to the formation of new tribal groups.[16] The sixteenth and eighteenth centuries saw a series of splits and confederations among the nomadic Turkmen tribes, who remained staunchly independent and inspired fear in their neighbors.[16] By the 16th century, most of those tribes were under the nominal control of two sedentary Uzbek khanates, Khiva and Bukhoro.[16] Turkmen soldiers were an important element of the Uzbek militaries of this period.[16] In the 19th century, raids and rebellions by the Y omud Turkmen group resulted in that group's dispersal by the Uzbek rulers.[16] According to Paul R. Spickard, "Prior to the Russian conquest, the Turkmen were known and feared for their involvement in the Central Asian slave trade."[17][18] Russian forces began occupying Turkmen territory late in the 19th century.[16] From their Caspian Sea base at Krasnovodsk (now Turkmenbashi), the Russians eventually overcame the Uzbek khanates.[16] In 1881, the last significant resistance in Turkmen territory was crushed at the Battle of Geok Tepe, and shortly thereafter Turkmenistan was annexed, together with adjoining Uzbek territory, into the Russian Empire.[16] In 1916 the Russian Empire's participation in World War I resonated in Turkmenistan, as an anticonscription revolt swept most of Russian Central Asia.[16] Although the Russian City of Türkmenabat in Russian Revolution of 1917 had Turkestan, 1890 little direct impact, in the 1920s Turkmen forces joined Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, and Uzbeks in the so-called Basmachi Rebellion against the rule of the newly formed Soviet Union.[16] In 1924 the Turkmen Soviet Socialist Republic was Turkmen helmet (15th century) formed from the tsarist province of Transcaspia.[16] By the late 1930s, Soviet reorganization of agriculture had destroyed what remained of the nomadic lifestyle in Turkmenistan, and Moscow controlled political life.[16] The Ashgabat earthquake of 1948 killed over 110,000 people,[19] amounting to two-thirds of the city's population. During the next half-century, Turkmenistan played its designated economic role within the Soviet Union and remained outside the course of major world events.[16] Even the major liberalization movement that shook Russia in the late 1980s had little impact.[16] However, in 1990 the Supreme Soviet of Turkmenistan declared sovereignty as a nationalist response to perceived exploitation by Moscow.[16] Although Turkmenistan was ill-prepared for independence and then-communist leader Saparmurat Niyazov preferred to preserve the Soviet Union, in A Turkmen man of Central Asia in October 1991 the fragmentation of that entity forced him to call [16] traditional clothes.

Niyazov 1915. continued as Turkmenistan's chief of state, replacing communism with a unique brand of independent nationalism reinforced by a pervasive cult of personality.[16] A 1994 referendum and legislation in 1999 abolished further requirements for the president to stand for re- election (although in 1992 he completely dominated the only presidential election in which he ran, as he was the only candidate and no one else was allowed to run for the office), making him effectively president for life.[16] During his tenure, Niyazov conducted frequent purges of public officials and abolished organizations deemed threatening.[16] Throughout the post-Soviet era, Turkmenistan has taken a neutral position on almost all international issues.[16] Niyazov eschewed membership in regional organizations such as the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, and in the late 1990s he maintained relations with the Taliban and its chief opponent in Afghanistan, the Northern Alliance.[16] He offered limited support to the military campaign against the Taliban following the 11 September

In general, currents are limited in the bay (inside the spit) and they do not hamper the navigation of vessels in the channel. It should be noted that these currents do not refer to the channel cut through the Turkmenbashi spit. In the area of the cut through the Turkmenbashi spit, currents run parallel to the axis of the channel and can reach values up to 1 – 2.5 knots. The following tables present the distribution of the wind and wave in Turkmenbashi per sector and per speed class.

Regarding channel closure, details will be described later in this section. The feasibility study on the modernization of Turkmenbashi Port (MLTM 2009) describes that the maximum wave height in the Caspian Sea outside the spit is 2.6m and wave height may reach 2.0m in the cut through section of the channel.

    ISPA-ECPR Joint Conference “Whatever happened to North-South?” Sao Paulo, Brazil February, 16 -19 2011 Nation-Creation in Turkmenistan . Hendrik Meurs Department of Geography University of Heidelberg, Germany Berliner Straße 48 69120 Heidelberg [email protected] Celebration of the national holiday “Neutrality Day” in Turkmenistan’s Olympic Stadium in Ashgabat on the occasion of the “15 th Anniversary of Eternal Neutrality” in December 2010 [TURKMENISTAN , 2010]) 2 Nation-Creation in Turkmenistan Introduction Turkmenistan’s presidential stability is no coincidence. It is to the contrary the result of an elaborate gov- ernmental system aimed at maintaining this very stability. To allow for an understanding of the system, it is essential to take into account aspects of theories on nation building, paternalism, totalitarianism, political religion, despotism, sultanism and neo-patrimonialism as well as the semiotics of governmental symbolism. However by itself each of these theories, ideas and descriptions falls short of adequately capturing contem- porary processes in Turkmenistan. For this reason a combination of components of the enlisted concepts is used in order to gain access to the all embracing governmental attempts at constructing a Turkmen nation while maintaining absolute power. Therefore the term “nation creation” is introduced. Nation creation is defined as a government controlled system that, under inclusion of economical, social, cultural, political and religious aspects of private and public life, is aimed at constructing a nation while maintaining absolute gov- ernmental power and control by all possible means. Though this system may appear to be a wild mix of at times absurd or even comical individual approaches and concepts, the underlying ruler-logic follows clear lines, which to connect is the aim of this article.

  • Наш Общий Праздник Our Common Holiday
    № 4 АПРЕЛЬ 2006 APRIL ПОЧТОВЫЙ ЯЩИК / POST BOX Наш общий праздник Год назад мы с женой и детьми впервые и во многом случайно попали на тор- жества по случаю международного весеннего праздника Новруз в московских Лужниках. Тогда на нас произвели неизгладимое впечатление красочность и неподдельная искренность нового для нас праздничного действа. В нынешнем году мы уже ждали наступления Новруза, дети замучили нас про- сьбами непременно еще раз сходить в Лужники на оригинальное восточное тор- жество. Придя, обратили внимание, что народу на этот раз было еще больше, а праздник – еще ярче. Особенно нам понравились украшения туркменского павиль- она. А угощения на туркменском дастархане были удивительно вкусными. Очень хорошо, что благодаря усилиям Департамента межрегионального сотрудничества, национальной политики и связей с религиозными организация- ми правительства Москвы при участии иностранных посольств и представи- тельств российских регионов, а также национальных общественных объединений города Москвы это торжество органично вписалось в жизнь мегаполиса. Теперь уже с полным правом можно говорить о появлении новой устойчивой традиции в жизни москвичей. Новруз стал настоящим праздником мира и доб- рососедства. Он помогает нам всем лучше узнавать, а значит, и понимать друг друга.

This year we were waiting for Novruz holiday, children were pleading us to visit Luzhniki by no means and see original orient celebration.

The major types can be roughly defined as: East Asian with its origins in Imperial China and now encompassing modern Japan and the Korean peninsula; Southeast Asian which encompasses Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Vietnam, Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and the Philippines; South Asian states that are made up of India, Burma, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Pakistan as well as several other countries in this region of the Vietnamese meal, in Asian culture food often serves as the centerpiece of social continent; Central Asian and Middle gatherings Eastern. Terminology "Asian cuisine" most often refers to East Asian cuisine (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean), Southeast Asian cuisine and South Asian cuisine.

For example, in Hong Kong and mainland China, Asian cuisine is a general umbrella term for Japanese cuisine, Korean cuisine, Filipino cuisine, Thai cuisine, Vietnamese cuisine, Malaysian and Singaporean cuisine, and Indonesian cuisine; but Chinese cuisine and Indian cuisine are excluded. The term Asian cuisine might also be used to Indonesian cuisine address the eating establishments that offer a wide array of Asian dishes without rigid cuisine boundaries; such as selling satay, gyoza or lumpia for an appetizer, som tam, rojak or gado-gado for salad, offering chicken teriyaki, nasi goreng or beef rendang as the main course, tom yam and laksa as soup, and cendol or ogura ice for dessert.
