Ashgabat Neutrality Monument

Ashgabat is the capital of Turkmenistan, known for its striking Neutrality Monument - a 95-meter tripod tower crowned with a golden statue of former president Saparmurat Niyazov. This iconic structure, also called the Arch of Neutrality, symbolizes Turkmenistan's policy of permanent neutrality. The monument's unique three-legged design dominates the city's white marble skyline, making Ashgabat one of the most architecturally distinctive capitals in Central Asia.
