TURKMEN CARPETS Carpet weaving is one of the oldest and natural arts of afghan Turkmen people. It is one of the biggest pride for afghan culture. Carpet weaving art explains history of the people, art interest and decoration in nice way. The carpet woven for the first time by Turkmen people and gradually this art transferred to the other places of the world. Since the beginning have been woven by women. In my lovely country AFGHANISTAN, Turkmen women generally live and work within the compound of the house they are not only responsible for household activities but also looking after their children and take care of the men, they are busy with handicrafts, they are actively involved in carpet weaving, whereby they contribute to the family economy . Moreover their handicraft products reaches the national and international markets and fortify national economy. Their handicraft Products benefits not only national economy but also adds to the international economy.   The Afghan Turkmen are responsible for the best and most of the weaving that was and still produced in country for centuries. Turkmens have inhabited a narrow band of territory around the Murghab River, stretching east to Mazar-e-sharif, KUNDUZ, JAWZJAN, and ANDKHOY etc. Before the communist coup in April 1978, which led to the soviet invasion in 1979,AFGHANISTAN was one the world's most beautiful countries, but it was conservative and deeply divided by tribal loyalties. Today it lies in ruins, as the fighting between various religious and political factions continues. Due to meaning less fighting and migration of thousands of my countrymen to PAKISTAN This art has been transferred to Pakistan and Turkmen refugees are using this art for their living purposes.
