The flag of Turkmenistan is also one of the most complex in the world.

And there's a flag day.

Since 1995, 19 February has become Turkmenistan ' s flag day, the same day as the birthday of the late President Niyazov.

This day will be celebrated with a variety of events throughout the country, and wreaths will be given to the National Independence Monument by leaders and members of the Government.

The total population of Turkmenistan is approximately 6.83 million (as of the end of 2011).

The main ethnic groups are Turkmen (94 per cent, with Saras in China), Uzbeks (2 per cent) and Russians (1 per cent), and more than 120 ethnic groups (1.5 per cent) in Kazakhstan, Armenia, Tarr and Azerbaijan.

Islam is the principal religion, accounting for 89 per cent of the total population, mainly Sunnis (who strictly follow the teachings of Islam), and 9 per cent of the population is Orthodox.

However, under the rule of the powerful President Saparmura, Atayevitch Niyazov, the Islamic culture was strongly promoted, leading to the gradual removal of a minority of Orthodox Russians from Turkmenistan, thus reducing the influence of the Orthodox Church in the country.

The shamanism of the ancient Turkics and the burning religion have also had some impact on the religious beliefs of Turkmen, such as forcing sick children to jump over the fire and throwing ashes over the head of the sick, which are not characteristic of Islam.

Now, Turkmens live in bricks and concrete structures, and some nomadic Turkmens also live in houses known as “Karaoi” (takumanic for black houses).

In accordance with traditional practice, the doors of their homes are always in the direction of Mecca, where carpets are laid, with blankets and bags and bags of clothing and other items on the walls.
