NEUTRALITY ARCH
The Neutrality Arch is a monument located in Ashgabat, capital of Turkmenistan.
The arch is 75 metres (246 ft) tall and was built in 1998 on the orders of Turkmenistan’s President Saparmurat Niyazov to commemorate the country’s official position of neutrality. It cost $12 million to construct. The three-legged arch is topped by a 12-metre (39 ft) tall gold-plated statue of Niyazov which rotates to always face the sun. The arch is located in central Ashgabat where it dominates the skyline, being taller than the nearby Presidential Palace. The statue is lit at night On 18 January 2010 Niyazov’s successor as president, Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow, signed a decree to begin work on dismantling and moving the arch. (wiki)
Saparmurat Niyazov
Foreign media criticized him as one of the world’s most totalitarian and repressive dictators, highlighting his reputation of imposing his personal eccentricities upon the country, which extended to renaming months after members of his family, and recoining the Turkmen word for bread by the name of his mother.
