Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov<\/a> said it seeks to extinguish the natural fire crater Darvaza, one of the most famous countries of the Central Asian state.<\/p>\nBerdymukhamedov said he had ordered officials to put out the fire, citing “ecological damage and economic unrest” as reasons.<\/p>\n
Among other things, he said: “We are losing valuable natural resources for which we can make a profit, using them to increase the well-being of our people”, which means that the authorities will try to put the burning gas in pipacione.<\/p>\n
He did not explain the strategy to be used to close it.<\/p>\n
The “Gate of Hell” crater is located about 260 kilometers from the Turkmen capital Ashgabat. The fire pit is 60 meters wide and about 20 meters deep.<\/p>\n
The local Turkmenportal agency says the burning crater was first formed in 1971 when Soviet geologists discovered a pocket of natural gas in the vast Karakum Desert and accidentally caused it to collapse.<\/p>\n
The geologists then started the fire to prevent the poison gas from spreading, mistakenly believing that it could be easily extinguished again.<\/p>\n
But decades later she is still burning like the hell of her nickname.<\/p>\n
Berdymukhamedov had ordered its extinction in 2010 but the attempts were not successful.<\/p>\n
The latest attempt is expected to be more curious from the attention that the world media is giving, and in many cases this has not brought “positive” developments.<\/p>\n
