Neutrality Arch
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Neutrality Arch was erected by president-for-life Saparmurat Niyazov to commemorate Turkmenistan's official neutrality. The structure is the tallest building of the capital Aşgabat. It features ornate inscriptions and a glass elevator. Atop the monument is a gold-plated statue of Niyazov which rotates 360 degrees over 24 hours so as to always face the sun.
