In this brief video you can find seven little known facts about
Tajikistan.
More information about the video content bellow:
1. The total land area of Tajikistan is
143,
100 square kilometres. That’s slightly larger than
England. Tajikistan’s population was 8.2 million in
2013. That’s around the same population as
London!
2
. In the small Asian nation of Tajikistan, the unibrow is considered a highly attractive feature. If you are unfortunately born without a unibrow, you can paint it on daily to become more attractive. For women, it is associated with virginity and purity and, in men, virility. If there is no unibrow present,
or if it is weak, it is commonplace for women to use a kohl liner or a modern kajal pen to simulate a unibrow.
3.
Country’s dictator,
Emomali Rahmon, was filmed singing drunk at his son’s wedding in 2013. The clip was posted on YouTube. In response, he banned YouTube from the country for
3 weeks.
Rahmon is now serving his fourth term as president, but he doesn’t seem to have had enough. Since
1994 he survived an assassination attempt, 2 attempted coups and a civil war that claimed the lives of some 100,
000 people.
4. The
Tajiks, whose language is nearly identical with
Persian, were part of the ancient
Persian Empire that was ruled by
Darius I and later conquered by
Alexander the Great (
333 BC)
.In the 7th and
8th centuries,
Arabs conquered the region and brought
Islam. The Tajiks were successively ruled by
Uzbeks and then
Afghans until claimed by
Russia in the
1860s. In 1924, Tajikistan was consolidated into a newly formed
Tajik Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic.
5.
Dushanbe is the capital of Tajikistan and it has a population of 778,
500. If you pay a visit, the main sights are the
Tajikistan National Museum,
Dushanbe Zoo and the
Dushanbe Flagpole (it’s the second tallest freestanding flagpole in the world at 165m). Dushanbe means Monday in
Tajik language.
6. One of the world's highest mountain ranges
Pamir and
Altai cross Tajikistan.
Hundreds of canyons split the mountains and on the bottom of them there are flowing rivers, which merge into river valleys, where the majority of the population lives.
Almost half of the
Central Asian waters flow from the mountains of Tajikistan.
7.
The civil war in Tajikistan started in
1992 and continued till
1997. The protesters were against the presidential elections and demanded fair representation in the country
. In the month of June 26, 1997, the two sides came to a treaty and a
peace accordance was signed, thus ceasing the war.
