President of Armenia Visits 15th-Century Mausoleum of Turkmen Rulers in Argavand
President of the Republic of Armenia Vahagn Khachaturyan visited the 15th-century mausoleum of the Turkmen Kara Koyunlu dynasty, located in the village of Argavand in Armenia’s Ararat Province, according to the Embassy of Turkmenistan in Yerevan.
The event was also attended by Armenia’s Minister of Education, Science, Culture and Sports Zhanna Andreasyan, members of the Presidential Administration, Turkmenistan’s Ambassador to Armenia Muhammetgeldi Ayazov, and other embassy staff.
The Armenian leader was briefed on the historical and cultural value of the mausoleum, as well as the restoration efforts and architectural features of the site.
Ambassador Ayazov noted that cultural and humanitarian cooperation remains a key area in the bilateral relations between Turkmenistan and Armenia.
Earlier in August, during a working visit to Turkmenistan, President Khachaturyan also visited the Armenian church in Turkmenbashi. Although the church was damaged during the Soviet era, in recent years, Turkmen authorities have taken steps to preserve the site and improve the surrounding area, expressing readiness for its full restoration.

A ceremony for laying the foundation of a new urea plant was held in the Guvlymayak gengeshlik of the Turkmenbashi etrap in Balkan velayat, reports the newspaper "Neutral Turkmenistan."
The plant's designed capacity will be 1 million 155 thousand tons of mineral fertilizers per year. Construction is being carried out on behalf of the state concern "Türkmenhimiýa" by the Japanese company Mitsubishi in partnership with the Turkish company Gap İnşaat.
As noted by the speakers, urea is an export-oriented product capable of replacing imported mineral fertilizers.
The choice of the site in the western region is due to its proximity to the raw material base: natural gas is extracted along the Turkmen coast of the Caspian Sea, which is essential for production.
The construction of the new plant also has social significance: its commissioning will create additional jobs, contributing to the improvement of the local population's well-being.
