Ashgabat
Ashgabat ((トルクメン語:Aşgabat), ; (ペルシア語:عشقآباد); ), known as Poltoratsk () between 1919 and 1927, is the capital and the largest city of Turkmenistan in Central Asia, situated between the Karakum Desert and the Kopet Dag mountain range. The 2001 census estimated a population of 695,300, while the 2009 census estimated a population of 1 million, primarily Turkmen people, with ethnic minorities of Russians, Armenians, and Azerbaijanis.
The Karakum Canal runs through the city, carrying waters from the Amu Darya from east to west.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Brief Note on Turkmenistan )〕

Ashgabat is called ''Aşgabat'' in Turkmen, (''Ashkhabad'') in Russian, and ''Ešq-ābād'' () in Persian. Before 1991, the city was usually spelled Ashkabad in English, a transliteration of the Russian form, which was itself from the original Persian form. It has also been variously spelled Ashkhabat and Ashgabad. From 1919 until 1927 the city was renamed Poltoratsk after a local revolutionary.
The name in Persian means "city of love" or "city of devotion". Some Turkmen scholars insist that the name goes back to the Parthian era, 3rd century BC, deriving from the name of the founder of the Parthian Empire, Arsaces I of Parthia, modified by Turkish pronunciation to Ashk-Abad (the city of ''Ashk''/Arsaces).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=How Old is Ashgabat? )〕
