about Ashgabad

Ashgabat (also Ashkabat, Ashkhabad, Ashgabad, in Persian عشق آباد Eshgh-abad) is the capital city of Turkmenistan, a former Soviet republic. Ashgabat has a population of around 400,000 and is situated between the Kara Kum desert and the Kopet Dag mountain range. The principal industries of Ashgabat are cotton textiles and metal working. The name is believed to derive from the Persian Ashk-abad meaning "the City of Arsaces". Another explanation is that the name is a corruption of the Persian Eshq (Love) + abad (cultivated place or city), and hence loosely translates as "The city built by/from love".
