    Extractions: Turkmenistan This energy-rich Central Asian country, once a patchwork of nomadic tribes, is reviving its most ancient rituals and customs and rediscovering old taboos that were thinly papered over during Communist rule. Many marriages are arranged, but marriages-of-love are becoming more popular. Muslims in Turkmenistan are of the Sunni faith, and do not share the Islamic fundamentalism of their neighbors in Afghanistan and Iran. But tribal loyalty can weigh more heavily than religious feeling. There are five major tribes and more than a dozen smaller tribes and clans that spread across the deserts of Turkmenistan. Young women with two braids and a small scarf are unmarried; those with one braid and a big kerchief have been wed More than 70 diffrent nationalities reside in Turkmenistan. Two giant earthquakes (10 points on the Richter scale) in 1895 and 1924 flattened Krasnovodsk and Ashgabat respectively. A 1948 quake destroyed Ashgabat in less than a minute The yurta, the traditional tent with a collapsable wooden frame covered with reeds and felt, is still used today. The tent is erected in the front yard and used as a summer house National dress: men wear high, shaggy sheepskin hats and red robes over white shirts. Women wear long sack-dresses over narrow trousers (the pants are trimmed with a band of embroidery at the ankle). Female headdresses usually consist of silver jewelery. Bracelets and brooches are set with semi-precious stones.

    Extractions: Turkmenistan Culture For the nomadic Turkmen the only piece of furniture worth having was a carpet or three. Easily transportable, the carpets served not just as floor coverings, but as wall linings for the yurt, providing a highly decorative form of insulation. Turkmen textiles artisans have gone quite commercial over the last hundred years: Most 'Bukhara' rugs, so called because they were mostly sold, not made, in Bukhara - are made by Turkmen. These days the swish Ashghabat Carpet Museum or the Tolkuchka market are good places to see these mostly red, mostly geometric, entirely beautiful rugs. Though Turkmenistan is predominantly a Sunni Muslim country, the religion is not militantly or strictly enforced. Centuries-old tribal loyalties are at least as important as Islam; even the most urbane Turkmen retains allegiance to his tribe, while in the more remote regions tribalism dominates to such an extent that each tribe is easily distinguished by dialect, style of clothing and jewellery and the patterns woven into their carpets. Of all Central Asian peoples the Turkmen have kept the most traditional dress. While under threat from shell-suit pants and polyester jackets, it's still common to see men in baggy blue pantaloons tucked into clumping knee-high bots, a white shirt under a cherry-red and gold-striped heavy silk jacket, and topped by a shaggy wool hat. Women are less showy and wear heavy, ankle-length silk dresses of wine red and maroon hiding spangled, striped trousers beneath. A woman's hair is always tied back and concealed under a kercheif or scarf.

    Extractions: INITIAL OBLIGATION: FY 2001 ESTIMATED COMPLETION DATE: FY 2005 Summary: Acceptance and adoption of a democratic culture in Turkmenistan requires government receptiveness to reforms and increasing popular demand for reform among both citizens and governing elites. The degree to which this can currently be done in Turkmenistan is limited. The goal of this objective is to foster attitudinal change about what constitutes a more open society and how citizens and targeted institutions can work together to bring about democratic reforms. Assistance will support the development of stronger and more sustainable civic organizations and a better understanding of the rule of law among law students. Program Categories include support for civil society/NGO strengthening.

    Extractions: History Though never a goal in itself, the sun-scorched, barren land between the Caspian Sea and the Amu-Darya passed in ancient times from one empire to another as armies decamped on the way to richer territories. Alexander the Great established a city on his way to India, the Romans set up near present-day Ashghabat and, in the 11th century the Seljuq Turks used Alexander's old city, Merv, as a base from which to expand their empire into Afghanistan. Two centuries later, the heart of the Seljuq empire was torn out as Jenghiz Khan stormed down from the steppes into Trans-Caspia (the region east of the Caspian Sea) on his way to terrorise Europe. While the empire-builders tussled, nomadic horsebreeding tribes of Turkmen drifted in through the cracks, possibly from the Altay mountains, and grazed from oasis to oasis along the fringes of the Karakum desert and in Persia, Syria and Anatolia. With the decline in the 16th century of the Timurid empire, the region became a backwater dotted with feudal Turkmen islands. From their oasis strongholds, the Turkmen preyed on straggling caravans, pillaging and stealing slaves or skirmishing with other tribes. It was only when they started kidnapping Russians from the strengthening tsarist empire that the Turkmen fell into trouble. Military forces were sent to Trans-Caspia to rout the by now wildly uncontrollable tribes: in 1881 the Russians marched on the fortress of Geok-Tepe and massacred an estimated 7000 Turkmen. A further 8000 were cut down as they fled across the desert. Not surprisingly, the Russians met little more resistance and by 1894 had secured all Trans-Caspia for the tsar.
