Turkmen President Gurbanguly Berdimuhammadov on Sunday signed a decree granting amnesty to more than 1, 300 inmates in honor of the Night of Destiny Muslim religious holiday.
The holy month of Ramadan is now marked in the Muslim world. This year Laylat al Qadr, also known as the Night of Power or the Night of Destiny, will be celebrated in the night of August 14th-15th. It is the anniversary of the night Muslims believe the first verses of the Quran were revealed to the Islamic prophet Muhammad.
