Well, one thing, and it is a symbolic thing of Islamic civilization… I mean the carpets which often can be seen in many homes and flats in Tajikistan Republic. If you, for example, want to find out, if it can be so in some poorest areas of Tajikistan, maybe, in the South-eastern part of this Republic, as in the Gorno – Badakshan Autonomous Province area and settlements there, then yes, you can’t believe, but it is true, of course, as in these places, also in each and every house and flat where you can see carpets decorating rooms, flats or homes… So, a view of a flat is exactly the same, and many rooms and kitchen areas, not always in the ordinary sense of the word, many Tajik houses have only few places where they can cook their food or what can be called just a kitchen, but, of course, it is not true… And in these places one can also see carpets… Well, it might be quite difficult to buy a carpet in Tajikistan, or, maybe, no so difficult; but probably the biggest and most important exporting countries of carpets in the world are Turkey and Turkmenistan where this thing plays also an important role in their culture and life… Also, it is necessary to take carpets into account if you want to deal with the religion of Islam…
