On 3 May President Serdar Berdymukahmmedov held a working session with the heads of the provinces, the state information agency TDH reports.
The heads of the five provinces proposed to build mosques and premises for sadaka (charity lunches) in their administrative centres. All proposals were accompanied by the wording that this was done “taking into account the requests of residents”.
Serdar Berdymukhammedov approved the proposals pointing out that “this is a noble initiative”.
Mosques will be built in:
in the city of Annau, the administrative centre of Akhal velayat;
in the city of Khazar, Balkan velayat;
in Rukhubelent etrap, Dashoguz velayat;
in Dovletli etrap, Lebap velayat;
