The first mention of this city in the historical chronicles is dated back to the X century.

The event was attended by the adviser of the Ambassador of Turkmenistan to the Russian Federation Serdar Durdyev. “Every year the Ramadan Tent becomes more spacious and lighter, more and more people come here. This shows that the project is growing and becoming more popular, and Moscow is a kind, multi-ethnic city where representatives of various nations and cultures live,” the Turkmen diplomat said, expressing gratitude to the main organizers of the project.
