Turkmenbashi Ruhy Mosque
Turkmenbashi Ruhy Mosque or Gypjak Mosque is in Gypjak, Turkmenistan and the resting place for Saparmurat Niyazov, the leader of Turkmenistan from 1985 to 2006. The mosque, constructed by the French company Bouygues, was built in the home town of President Saparmurat Niyazov.
It opened on October 22, 2004, and was built by Niyazov with a mausoleum in preparation for his death. Indeed, despite its capacity to accommodate 10,000 congregants, the mosque is often empty as the Ruhnama inscriptions are considered blasphemous by devout mosquegoers.
