can be only a few colours, such as green, as a symbolic colour of the religion of Islam, and also some ornamental patterns on this cap. And, just a few days ago, I read about that traditional thing or, to tell the truth, about that from what material these caps are made, and how in other Asian Islamic countries there is also camel, or sheep, or goat wool material which is often used to produce Tubeteikas. Maybe, some other Central Asia Republics and countries, too, have such national and traditional caps, but their appearance would have some differences; and, if, for example, you also love very much any other country in this region, and, to my mind, it is so great to love that country with all your heart, which is known as Turkmenistan, and its life and culture, its people and nation where probably so many people wear and have the traditional caps— the Turkmen Papacha Cap, as Turkmen nation calls them. It is my favourite, because I remembered that time when it was so interesting to me to watch that traditional attribute of traditional costume. Well, you know, exactly to tell the truth, this Papacha caps use to be in two colours: white and black, for me, of course, now and always the most loved was the white Turkmen Papacha Cap which also is made from sheep or goat material, the greater part of them are made, of course, from sheep material. You know, how possibly uncomfortable is to put such cap on your head or wear it during the summer season, because I don’t know any other country or republic in this region where the temperature can be so high and the sun shines so hot… Maybe in some desert areas of Turkmenistan which are located near the Iranian or Afghanistan border the temperature can be extremely high…

National clothes or costumes of some countries and republics in Central Asia are, of course, really amazing. And there are, maybe, a few most popular colours: as often, black, white and, maybe, also red. You know, these textile shirts which are often produced in Tajikistan or Turkmenistan have white or red colours. It is so wonderful to have that shirt and to feel it on your body in such a warm summer season. But these are not, of course, the most important traditional clothes of those nations. Maybe, it would be very interesting to find out that Papacha which is often being worn in Turkmenistan Republic, and Tubeteika in Tajikistan, are looking so amazing, and I think that it is so wonderful to have such hat of your head. It was so interesting for me to analyse how exactly the Turkmen Papacha represents the spirit of Turkmenistan country or its culture, and this can be also the material used for Papacha production- sheep and goat wool…
If you love that country with all your heart, you feel this every day in your life, maybe you love this traditional cap, and it will be so important and necessary for you to have it, and that how you love Turkmenistan Country, their life, history and traditions, is sacred for each Turkmen person.
Tajikistan Tubeteika and white Turkmen Papacha caps

Another day in the month of May, and now, in these minutes, I am trying to find some other ideas or a subject about what I should write to you… Maybe, it would be so great if some feelings or thoughts are disclosed in order to accent some aspects probably concerning the Visa Politics or everything what these words include, in official terms, namely – Visa Requirements for citizens of the Tajikistan Republic; in case, if you probably have Tajikistan citizenship you, of course, may travel to some countries without a visa. You know, how often it has happened, a free area without any visas – you need not to buy them, if you want to go to other Central Asia Republics, as Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, and, of course, to some other countries of the whole former USSR area, except visiting a few republics… It can be very difficult and also problematic to travel or to go to other countries, because, for the most part of Tajikistan citizens it is too expensive in money terms, and it can be also quite problematic to go to other places of Tajikistan Republic. In case, if you are living in some southern areas of this republic and just want to go, for example, to the Tajik capital, it could be very difficult, since, as you know that this part of population is living in such extreme poverty what is very, very high, then there is not another choice than only to stay and live in those underpopulated settlements… Yes, as I wrote in the beginning, this was about the Free Area, or maybe in more correct form – about places or countries to which Tajikistan Citizens can travel without visas, and, especially to the country which is the most important to all Islamic countries and also to Central Asia Republics, this, of course, is – Turkey, the country which has many relationships with many Islamic Countries. But, maybe, you will be surprised, but there are other Central Asia Republics such as Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan which don’t have any relationships, and maybe also it is the reason why you need to have a visa if you want to go to these republics. The list of republics and countries which can receive Tajikistan citizens without visas is not so long, but for that republic, in my opinion, I think, it is no so bad, and maybe it could be of some interest, for example, to tell about the other side of that, that is, from what countries one can travel to this Asian Republic without visa; Tajikistan has not so stringent visa politics, this means that list of these countries is quite long, the Tajikistan Republic probably has one-sided visa politic circle which guarantees that you can go to this republic without visa; maybe, it is very necessary for this republic, because it’s economy is not so strong and income of this republic is not so high, that’s why the government of the Tajikistan Republic tries to determine not so stringent visa politics, for tourism industry which can also bring double financial income to the Tajikistan Republic. If, for example, you are interested in tourism industry in this republic, it should be noted that, of course, going and travelling to this republic is not such problematic as it is, for example, to Turkmenistan, because that country has closed its borders with other republics and has adopted a very stringent system of visa politics. Yes, you know, I think that maybe Tajikistan Tourism agencies can organize a larger number of some tourist excursions or tours and maybe not only to the capital, i.e. Dushanbe, but also some excursions might include also Pamir Mountains, and, of course, some tours to places in mountain areas of this region may be very popular… It’s very difficult to write, but, maybe, there will be some ideas tomorrow and, of course, every day can give more and more words regarding things about what it is requisite to tell… Well, I think, these tours in mountain areas of the Tajikistan Republic are really popular, and maybe such are also some tours which have often included tours and excursions in the Tajikistan capital Dushanbe. Now, I know, maybe it will be necessary, or just only interesting to write, how much does such Tajikistan visa cost, if you want to travel to this country, so, it costs about 50 United States dollars…

Well, today there were also some facts about Tajikistan Republic Visa Requirement Policy, and that, of course, include visas. So, exactly, the question is the same, how much does it cost – a Tajikistan visa; there was some information about that; a single-entry tourist visa to this country costs just about fifty US dollars; of course, this is not so much, but if you need any visa for a year or for one year time, the cost of this probably can be about 200 US dollars. To my mind, it is not so difficult to buy such a visa if you want to travel to this country… Maybe, there is not so large assortment of traveling or tourist excursions, but it could be very interesting to visit this country and to see an Oriental capital or, as also it can be said- a capital of Central Asia Republic- so, Dushanbe. Maybe feelings also would be wonderful, if you feel the spirit and feelings of this country… Just for example, try to think about places of that republic which are not so big, maybe about places located near Afghanistan and China borders which, of course, are not quite safe, and maybe the sight of these places is not so bright, as it is written is some other information sources, but one can also see other part of these areas of the Tajikistan Republic, may be stronger…
Visa requirements policy for citizens of the Tajikistan Republic

So, today I want to write about the most populated city and the administrative capital of Gorno-Badakshan Autonomous District (Province) – Khorugh city. And the location place of this town is really close to the Afghan border, in the south of this Republic. Well, the population of this city is about 40 000 inhabitants, according to information
