Tashkent

Tashkent is a capital of the Republic of Uzbekistan, the most populated city in Central Asia, a political, economic, cultural and scientific center of the country. According to official data, the population of Tashkent is about 2, 3 million people. This modern city is located in the north-eastern part of the country, in the foothills of the western Tyan Shan, valley of Chirchik, at the height of 440-480 meters above sea level. The history of modern Tashkent counts more than 2500 years.

• In written sources, the name of the city was first reported in the beginning of the 11th century. According to Abu Rayhan Beruni, the word was originated from Turkic “Tash”(“Stone”) and “Kent”(“City”). Thus, Tashkent means “Stone City”. However, one assumes that the first component of this name is more ancient and dates back to “Chach,” which was later transformed in “Tash” by Arabs, as there was no letter “H” in their language and script, and by Turks, because of the consonance of individual characters in Turk language.

The Capital of Turkey, Ankara

Ankara is the capital city of Turkey. The city has historical, geographical and political importance for Turkish people. Since the start of the Independence War, Ankara was a commanding point of battles and the Turkish revolution. Therefore, it was no surprise when the city became the centre of this new Republic.

• On December 27, 1919, Ataturk and other commanders of the Turkish Independence War came to Ankara and started to plan battles and revolutions. Back then, Ankara was a small town. The city had no agriculture or industrial value whatsoever. However, it had strategic importance for being in the middle of Anatolia. Therefore, Ankara was an excellent choice to be the centre of command.
