By Huseyn Hasanov – Trend:

President of Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov addressed a reprimand to the Turkmen Minister of Construction and Architecture Soyenchnazar Selimov for low control over the observance of construction standards and their quality, Trend reports referring to Turkmen government.

The head of state instructed relevant heads of departments in the government of Turkmenistan to analyze the situation on the new buildings of the country, and prepare a construction program for 2020.

As was said at the government meeting, a large-scale erection of new cities and towns unfolded in Turkmenistan. In this regard, we need a powerful industry for the production of building materials, including cement, metal structures, as well as finishing materials in large volumes, Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov stressed.

At present, a large-scale construction of about 2,000 large industrial and social facilities with a total value of over $30 billion has been launched in the country.

Turkmenistan is located in a seismically dangerous zone. On the night of October 6, 1948, a magnitude 10 earthquake occurred in Ashgabat and claimed numerous lives.

Control over compliance with the necessary construction standards is carried out by a research institute under the Ministry of Construction and Architecture of Turkmenistan.
