09.08.2010 When the editor of the «Chronicles of Turkmenistan» website forwarded me the feedback on the article about night cities, I have to admit I was very surprised… I did not expect such a strong reaction and discussion!

 Night in the city
06.08.2010 When the shades of night fall upon Turkmen towns and villages, the streets and boulevards look ghost-like. It is better not to show up outside your own apartment at this hour.
