The opening ceremony of the monument Yyldyz (Star) built at the intersection of Bagtyyarlyk Avenue and Oguzhan Street took place in Ashgabat.


The total height of the monument is 36 metres. It consists of five pillars in the shape of a crescent, each of which is decorated with the Oguzhan eight-pointed star. The pillars join together to form the sculptural composition.

If one looks at this original monument from the side, it represents a crescent and if one looks at it from above, it represents a star. It is deeply symbolic that the monument resembles an artificial satellite flying in the sky.
