Firyuza(Archabil) is an urban-type settlement in Turkmenistan.

Name

Firyuza (in Farsi) - turquoise. Translated from Persian, firyuz (firuza) is a stone of happiness, also “piruz” - “winning.” "Pevrise" - (Turkm.)

The village was renamed Archabil, on the instructions of President S. Niyazov.

Population

The population of the village is about 3000 people. (1983) As of 2008, there is no settled population. Only service personnel, tourists, presidential guards and border guards live there.

Geography

Located in the Firyuzinsky (Archabilsky) gorge, in the Kopetdag mountains, 35 km west of Ashgabat. It is the largest climatic resort in Turkmenistan. On the site of the former military sanatorium "Firyuza" there is the largest plane tree in Central Asia - 7 brothers. The Firyuzinka River flows through the village, lined with a granite embankment built by a construction battalion.

Sycamore Park. Volosh (walnut) trees. Blackberry thickets.

Architecture

It is a narrowly elongated layout with one central street, between the slopes of the mountains and gorge, along the Firyuzinka River. The village ends at the border gate to Iran.

Until 1917, the dachas of the highest colonial administration and the head of the Trans-Caspian region stood in Firyuz. A narrow gauge railway was laid Railway, which was dismantled for military needs before 1917.

In Russian times, it was built up with private houses, buildings of recreation centers and boarding houses, 12 pioneer camps (Orlyonok, Druzhba (Dostluk), Pogranichnik, Stroitel, Yashlyk (Youth), “Harvest”, “Dozorny”, etc.), cafe. There were: high school, maternity hospital, kindergartens, cinema, swimming pools, park, apple orchard.

The village has been gasified since 1983.

In the post-Soviet period, one of the country residences Turkmen president. In terms of architecture, the high school built in the early 80s stood out for its extraordinary design. At this moment there is a border post there. Opposite the school, on the mountain, there was a concrete sculpture of an eagle. Under construction: new presidential palace, villas for the family and relatives of the president.
For these purposes, since the 2000s. 20th century resettlement took place local residents to the cities of Ashgabat and Bezmein, which was completed by 2008.

In 2006, together with Austrian specialists, an artificial reservoir with an area of 5 hectares, a volume of 300 thousand cubic meters and fed by the waters of the Firyuzinka River, was built on the site of an apple orchard. A second similar reservoir was built nearby.

Story

Firyuza as a village began to be mentioned in historical sources from the 12th century; it was part of the Nisa district. The medieval geographer from Merv al-Samani (1113-1167) wrote about this: “Faruz (Firyuza) is one of the villages of Nesa, one and a half farsakhs from it” (farsakh - at that time about 8 km). Up to 2nd half of the 19th century century Firyuza was a small border village. In the village itself and the Firyuzinsky Gorge, watchtowers have been preserved on the tops of the mountains. The population was mixed: Persians, Kurds, Turkmens, Turks - an ethnic group descending from pre-Oguz Turkic-speaking groups.

As a result of the inclusion of Turkmenistan in the Russian Empire A number of conventions and agreements on borders were concluded between Russia and Iran. The first was the Convention of December 9, 1881, followed by agreements in 1884, 1886 and others. There were no specific instructions about Firyuza, but it was stated that, in accordance with the Convention, on December 9, 1881, Firyuza went to Iran. 12 years after the conclusion of this Convention, on May 27, 1893, a new Convention was concluded and according to it Firyuza became part of the Russian Federation. The following year, in 1894, the administration of the Trans-Caspian region adopted the “Rules for setting up a dacha in Firyuza”.

At the end of the nineteenth century. Firyuza could hardly be called the “pearl” of Turkmenistan, as it is commonly called in this moment. In the official “Review of the Trans-Caspian Region for 1898” it was said about it: “Work continues to improve the settlement of Firyuza, 32 miles from Ashgabat. Here the irrigation network was completely rebuilt and a public garden with an area of up to three acres was built on the site of an old Persian village. Before this, it was an inaccessible, swampy area, occupied by old abandoned saklyas and inhabited by reptiles...”

There were not enough people wishing to have a dacha in Firyuz, although plots were distributed for a purely symbolic fee. In 1894, there were only 12 dachas in Firyuza, and by the beginning of the century there were a little more than 50. “State-owned” dachas for employees of the regional administration were also located there. In the 20s of the twentieth century. Firyuza was declared a military-communist town, which was governed by a military-economic council, able-bodied people united into a labor company. Private dachas were nationalized. Government dachas were built on the best sites. Holiday homes and pioneer camps arose on sites left after the construction of dachas for the party-Russian bureaucratic elite.

According to Art. The 3rd Treaty between the RSFSR and Persia of February 26, 1921 recognized the border between the two countries from 1881. And as a result of this, Firyuza had to be returned to Iran. However, since the Iranian government did not want to give up the land near the Araks River, as a result, the village of Firyuza remained with the USSR, i.e., the TSSR, despite the protests of the Iranian side. In 1933, during negotiations in Iran with the deputy. Minister of Foreign Affairs Liter.. Karakhan on changing the state border, Iran raised the issue of the return of Firyuza to no avail.

Conventions and agreements on borders concluded at the end of the 19th century were not clear enough and caused discrepancies. In this regard, after the end of World War II, new agreements began to be developed to resolve border disputes and conflicts.

In the early 1950s, the Mixed Soviet-Iranian Border Commission began work on the demarcation and remarking of urban borders in both the Caucasian and Trans-Caspian sections. At the end of the work of this commission, on December 2, 1954, an “Agreement between the Union of Russian Socialist Republics and Iran on the settlement of border and currency issues” was concluded in Tehran:

“The High Contracting Parties, inspired by the desire to resolve disagreements on the issue of the passage of the state border strip between the Union of Russian Socialist Republics and Iran in individual sections and thereby resolve the border issue as a whole on the basis of respecting the mutual interests of the Parties, came to an Agreement that in sections of Mugan, Deman, Eddy-Evlyar, and also in the Atrek section from the Syngyr-tepe hill (Senger-tege) to the exit of the border strip to the Caspian Sea, a new city border is being established.

The High Contracting Parties confirm that the border between the Union of Russian Socialist Republics remains unchanged throughout the rest of its length, and the border section on the right bank of the Araks River against the former Abbas-Abad fortress, as well as the village of Hisar with a plot of land remain within Iran, and the town of Firyuza and the surrounding lands - within the Union of Russian Socialist Republics.

In connection with the above, the High Contracting Parties declare that from now on all issues related to the passage of the state border strip between the Union of Russian Socialist Republics and Iran along its entire length are settled and that the parties do not have territorial claims against each other.

Compiled in Tehran on December 2, 1954 (Azar 11, 1333) in 2 copies, each in Russian and Persian, with 2 texts having a cognate force.”

The agreement was ratified by the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR on April 25, 1955. The instruments of ratification were exchanged in Moscow on May 20, 1955.

According to this Soviet-Iranian agreement, the town of Firyuza and the adjacent lands (about 146 km) began to be considered an integral part of the USSR in exchange for compensation in the area of 145.3 km near the village of Hisar and on the right bank of the Araks River (Iran’s border with Azerbaijan), near Abbas Abad fortress. Thus, the Convention was confirmed on May 27, 1893 and Firyuza remained with the USSR, and subsequently in 1991 - with Turkmenistan.

Legends

The village of Firyuza in a colorful mountain gorge in the vicinity of Ashgabat - not only favorite place mass recreation, but also an object of special poetic and often politicized myth-making. These are legends about the gardener Baharly, and 7 brothers and their beautiful sister Firyuza, and stories about supposedly huge sums paid by Russia to Iran for the ownership of this beautiful corner of nature, and about some ongoing claims to Firyuza from Iran. There is even a legend that the Shah of Iran, having learned about the sale of Firyuza to the Russian Federation, gave the order to execute the culprit who made this deal by pouring molten gold received for Firyuza down his throat.

The village with the beautiful poetic name Firyuza (Turquoise) is located in the foothills of the Kopetdag. Despite its close location to the capital of the republic (35 km west of Ashgabat), the population of the village of Feryuza is only about 3 thousand inhabitants. Here, in an oasis area, is located the eponymous resort complex. The largest plane tree (Central Asian plane tree) in Central Asia grows on the territory of a sanatorium for the military and is the pride of local residents. The majestic tree is called “Seven Brothers.” The powerful root system and trunk, consisting of seven intertwined parts, symbolize the strong unity of seven half-brothers. In the photo “Firyuza. Turkmenistan” you can see this centuries-old plane tree.

A small mountain river, Feryuzinka, flows through the village, delighting the traveler with clear mountain water and the coolness of the shady trees growing on its banks. The country residence of the President of Turkmenistan is also located in this beautiful corner with a favorable climate.

When in a deserted, inhospitable region one encounters such picturesque oases with lush vegetation, icy water of mountain rivers, and the coolness of the night, it is difficult to believe your eyes. In ancient times, these places inspired poets, singers and musicians. In their creativity, they glorified the Almighty for creating such a blessed place - heaven on earth. Feryuza is the object of unusual myths and legends. There are many legends in which historical facts intertwined with folk art. It's not easy to separate fact from fiction, but listening to the fascinating stories is incredibly interesting. One of the beautiful legends says that the gardener Baharly lived in these places; he had seven sons and a beautiful daughter, Feryuza.

Turkmenistan's powerful northern neighbor Russia paid big money for the Feryuza area. The Shah of Iran had long and unsuccessfully claimed ownership of this piece of paradise. Having learned about the deal, the enraged Shah ordered the culprit of the sale, the gardener Baharly, to be punished. The unfortunate farmer's mouth was filled with molten gold, obtained for Feryuza. This is how people in the East were punished for their desire for money. From historical sources you can find out that the village of Feryuza appeared in the 12th century. As-Samani, a famous medieval geographer from Merv, mentioned in his writings that the village of Faruz (Firyuza) is located one and a half farsakhs (farsakhs is a distance of 8 km). From the 12th century until the second half of the 19th century, Feryuza was a border point. To this day, on the high cliffs of the Firyuzinsky Gorge you can see the preserved ruins of watchtowers. People of various nationalities lived here: Persians, Kurds, Turkmens, various ethnic tribes of the Turks.

Historical chronicles testify to the difficult political relations between Russia and Iran in the dispute over the ownership of these territories. Several Conventions signed in different time, often contradicted each other and led to discrepancies. Specific information about Feryuza’s territorial affiliation was not stated in the documents, but it was believed that, according to the Convention, it belongs to Iran. However, the new Convention of 1893 spoke of Russian rights to the village of Feryuza. Apparently, in those difficult and turbulent times, a beautiful legend about the gardener, his sons and the beautiful Feryuza was born. Having secured its rights, Russia began to develop the lands bordering Iran. A year later, the construction of a dacha point for the Russian Empire began. Those wishing to purchase land and acquire summer cottage plot was a bit.

The local history museum contains rare photographs of Feryuza from the time of Russian colonization. The administration of the Trans-Caspian region published “Rules for setting up a summer cottage in Firyuz” and invited everyone to purchase land at low prices. Plots of land in this Russian trading post with a not very attractive landscape were sold for purely symbolic prices. In the first year there were only 12 dachas here, by the end of the century their number increased to 50. Feryuza was mainly chosen by civil servants of the administration of the native Russian province.

The Soviet government declared Feryuza a military-communist town. The life of the village was controlled by a military-economic council; the population was forcibly united into labor companies. Dachas owned by tsarist officials were nationalized. Gradually, pompous Soviet government dachas appeared in their place. Pioneer camps and departmental sanatoriums began to be built. Feryuza settled down and acquired the status of popular resort area Turkmenistan.

The once uninhabited, deserted village, infested with poisonous reptiles, has turned into a beautiful pearl of Turkmenistan.

After the end of World War II, the USSR raised questions about disputed border territories. Insufficiently clear and imperfect Conventions late XIX centuries required revision and new agreements. As a result of the painstaking work of the Soviet-Iranian commission on the demarcation and remarking of the state border in the Trans-Caspian section, the “Agreement between the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and Iran on the settlement of border and financial issues” was formed. According to the official Tehran Treaty of December 2, 1954, Feryuza was finally considered Soviet territory.

Kopetgag village

Flipping through newspapers from the beginning of the last century, I always read advertisements. They provide details for historical pictures. I was interested in the advertisements for the sale of the Kiyashko dacha in Firyuz. Over time, I learned a lot of interesting things about the owner of this property and many other people who were in love with Firyuza.

...Most of all, Lieutenant N...kiy loved summer cavalcades along the path made by goats on a gentle mountain at the very mouth of the Firyuzinsky gorge, where the road diverged in the direction of Chuli, a Persian estate in which, until the borders were closed, disgraced Iranian courtiers took refuge. In the distance, the stone sakli of the Kurds, under the Russians, had lost their natural belligerence and their watchtowers on the surrounding peaks darkened.

Officer Pestrik, although he caused ridicule in the company with his unusual color, was not one of the timid and confidently led the solemn procession of horsemen who, holding flaming torches, tried at the same time not to lose sight of the ladies who filled the cabs with lace from their summer dresses. Everyone was anticipating the joy of Sunday, remembering similar nightly entertainments of their youth in the Crimea. There was no sea here, but the mountains were more accessible, more desirable and calmer than in the formidable Caucasus. As if in a handful, the mountains brought long-awaited coolness into the night for them, exhausted by the heat of Askhabad, where not a fan, but wet sheets could save them. Firyuza was the best thing in their prosaic Askhabad life, and therefore, when their husbands talked about disagreements with the Persian government over the right of the Russians to this piece of the valley between mountain ranges, the women listened warily, although they knew that in 1893 a convention was concluded between Russia and Persia, according to which Firyuza passed to Russia; they really did not want to lose this goodness.

The Kopet Dag reminded the officers of the Caucasus mountains, where they shed blood for Russia, and their wives remembered the green beauty around the healing springs mineral waters, their coolness, which they all equally missed among the sands and endless heat. And maybe in memory of this they installed a “Caucasian label” on one of the peaks - a winged eagle. Newcomers were always told the legends that surrounded this new resort.

They remembered the maiden's tower on a distant rocky peak and the fate of the seven brothers and their poor sister, the protectors native land from such a long history that the plane trees planted in their memory have long grown together. A local photographer was always on duty at the plane tree, promising that a bird would fly out from behind the screen. These photographs were scattered around the world and are still kept in some family archives.

Officials of a lower rank, also escaping the Ashgabat heat, arrived on a “cuckoo” and, for the most part, settled in a two-story hotel. All the dacha entertainments were close to her. We walked across the road, already lined with plane trees, to wooden church, and from it to a park with round fountains and wooden gazebos covered with ivy, and luxurious flower beds, over which a Persian gardener had been fantasizing for many years. In the evenings the regimental orchestra played and dances were held. The official Review of the Trans-Caspian Region for 1898 stated: “Work continues to improve the settlement of Firyuza, 32 versts from Ashgabat. Here the irrigation network has been completely rebuilt and a public garden with an area of up to three dessiatines has been built on the site of the old Persian village.”

On Sunday after breakfast, the Firyuzin society dispersed according to their interests. Someone went out to hunt chukars. Teenagers, as is customary at all times, grouped together separately. They loved to go for blackberries. Then they put on high boots and took large sticks with them - Firyuza was an area among the mountains inhabited by reptiles, there were especially many snakes near the water. Therefore, perhaps, there were few people who wanted to have a dacha in Firyuz, although plots were distributed for a purely symbolic fee. In 1894, there were only 12 dachas in Firyuza, and by the beginning of the twentieth century - a little more than 50. But in the village there were many “state-owned” dachas for employees of the regional administration, where on hot days the entire staff and the office of the Governor General moved, continuing to work in Firyuze. Captain of the General Staff A.I. Kiyashko was in love with Firyuza, perhaps because she resembled her native Kuban. He had his own dacha, although he spent a lot of time at the Karakalinsky police station, reconnaissance of the empire’s border with Persia and Afghanistan. At the same time, the Firyuzin border post was strengthened, closing the path to numerous settlers and traders.

However, soon the calm and cheerful life ended in this resort place. Lieutenant N......sky died in 1904 in Japan in battles near the village of Dayan, where A.I. Kiyashko showed special courage, and later for this he was promoted to major general.

The Turkmen lands, as intended, served as a good buffer to protect the center of the empire from its eastern neighbors. But now it was necessary to protect this region from the revolutionary infection, and also to form from local population stage rear work detachments to be sent to a war that is foreign to them and to prevent popular indignation with assurances like: “Can the sovereign emperor deceive? If he said that they are only sent “for rear work,” that means you won’t get to the positions...!” Even the rails of the “cuckoo” narrow-gauge railway, along which the townspeople used to travel to Firyuza, were dismantled and sent to the needs of the front, according to some reports, to the Turkish front. More and more wounded people appeared at Firyuza’s dachas; they brought alarming news from the front. The British also tried on the resort town, but by 1919 they left our lands.

Empty dachas were gradually inhabited by ordinary townspeople. They were engaged in gardening, growing nuts and then rare fruits for our region, for example, Duchess pears. In the twenties, Firyuza was declared a military-communist town, which was governed by a military-economic council; able-bodied people united into a labor company. Private dachas were nationalized. In a suburban village, sanitary teams began improving abandoned dachas and distributing them among the People's Commissariat. Government dachas began to grow like mushrooms after rain, for which the best plots were allocated. Holiday homes and pioneer camps arose on plots left after the construction of dachas for the rapidly growing party-Soviet bureaucratic elite. At the end of the thirties, the Firyuzinsky highway was finally paved.

During the Great Patriotic War, wounded people again appeared in many dachas; in the neighboring town of Chuli, doctors practiced using mountain water for their speedy recovery.

The new era has made its own adjustments to the appearance of Firyuza; it has become a childish republic. Ministries and departments had their own pioneer camps here. At the end of each camp shift, inscriptions from brushwood flashed on the mountain slopes: “Peace, peace!” or something else good. The arts of the Persian gardener have now turned into tents over benches and other green mulberry sculptures. The pools with fountains were again populated with goldfish.

I framed a funny photo in which my mother, still young, in a crepe de Chine dress with puffed sleeves, smiles coquettishly, putting her hands under the stream of “Amurchik”. As a child, when we looked at the family album, I always pestered her with the question, where were we children then? She laughed and said that at that time we ran for ice cream. The theme of ice cream was indeed Firyuzin's. Only in the coolness of this village were children allowed a cold treat. We were even allowed to swim in the cold water of Firyuzinka behind the park, where from a green stepped cascade it poured with a murmur along the pebble bottom. A few years later, the soldiers of the construction battalion dressed it in concrete banks, and in the seventies of the last century, the ancient stone flow-through bath on Firyuzinka was turned into a non-flowing pool for the sanatorium of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Guests from all over the Union loved to dive into its turquoise surface even in January. In February, you could even sunbathe, of course, if you were lucky with the capricious Turkmen weather, and wander through the mountains, picking the same endless blackberries.

Those from Ashgabat were more fond of the green oval pool “Egg”. Soviet leaders were democratic at their dachas. They did not persecute the children for Firyuzin's pranks - night forays for apples in their orchards. In the Council of Ministers' dacha in my time, when there were no soldiers with carbines at the entrance, you could have a free and tasty lunch in a cheap restaurant, enjoy the non-Soviet comfort of a wooden resort gazebo covered with roses. Senior military personnel and officials of the Russian Transcaspian region once dined there. There were also writers' dachas, which many writers and directors now remember. At one of the dachas, Arseny Tarkovsky (father of the famous director) worked on translations of Magtymguly’s poems. “Where is the moon? The heavens are not allowed to brighten...” This is how the imperishable was manifested in Russian: Fraga’s cry over the death of her beloved father. I found in the diaries of Elena Bonner, by the way, she is from the Turkmen city of Bayram-Ali, a story about how, together with Andrei Sakharov, having collected provisions, they somehow arranged a trip through the Firyuzinsky Gorge, enjoying the mountains, the river, and the sun. Turkmen writers and poets worked in Firyuz. There the inspiration of the bright Turkmen poet Kurbannazar Ezizov, who tragically left us, was born.

In my years, in the summer, Ashgabat youth, too, as in the 19th century, came to Firyuza to dance, and few people knew that the best dance floor was set up in the former church. At Vorovsky's dacha, even regular renovations could not erase the elements of the colorful decor of the former resort hotel. She was always pleased with the old overgrown park, where the air was filled with flowers and quickly returned to good health and a restful sleep. I remember that I once slept at this dacha for almost two days, only to wake up, look out the window and freeze with inexplicable delight, like in my youth. And already serene - away from the city worries and worries - I sat on the windowsill and listened to the Night. No, I not only listened, I felt the Night in color, smell, felt it on my skin.

IN last years Before the death of Firyuza, who could have imagined this catastrophe then, the village council tried to restore and give a romantic look to the remaining ancient buildings. They renovated the canopied veranda of the village council, and the once customs house, which gave Firyuza the appearance of a foreign resort, painted the wooden gazebo of the bus station, to which quite large scheduled LAZs so cleverly climbed. We loved these buses for their glass roof. On steep road through the gorge, even as an adult, every time, anticipating the adrenaline, I waited for the mountains to close in and the bus to “crash” into them. Excursion object The fused plane trees of the “Seven Brothers” still remained, but stories also appeared about supposedly huge sums paid by Russia to Iran for ownership of this beautiful corner of nature. There was even a legend that the Shah of Iran, having learned about the sale of Firyuza to Russia, ordered the execution of the culprit who made this deal by pouring molten gold received for Firyuza down his throat. The reality is much more prosaic.

The Kurds, the Firyuzinians, did not leave this land, or rather the mountains, which they considered theirs, either at the insistence of the tsarist administration or at the request of the Soviet administration. When the new Turkmen administration began to repurpose the village for the holidays of only one family, they were still forced to leave their homes. One old Kurd told legends and fables that their ancestors were giants, although he himself was very small in stature. Where is he now, where is his family now? Where were the mountain people resettled? Only now, having learned much more about this, one of the most ancient peoples on earth, the descendants of the glorious Medes, am I beginning to believe in their giant ancestors, especially since many modern researchers also believe in this...

Those who came to my favorite village of Turquoise for the first time were also shown a “chess” alley in the park, where there were tables with large figures for fans of this ancient game. They also showed a wooden shoemaker's booth, installed directly above the gurgling irrigation ditch. I don't know if it has survived? But I know that the local school has buildings based on a design that is extremely interesting in Soviet time, the border guards are now stationed. I know where one of the fragments of a beautiful cast-iron park grate is now lying, which has become unnecessary to anyone... Was it really impossible to save it, it’s so magnificent. Different owners - different taste! It was on their orders that they began to blow up old houses in the village. They invited cameramen, and someone invited me. I didn’t come... I can’t look at death.

Postcards that were published by the Granberg joint stock company in Stockholm before the revolution helped us remember the days gone by. And to restore some events - inscriptions on them, made in the illegible handwriting of a man who was also in love with Firyuza, whom we no longer have. And stories about the fate of the tsarist general, who also loved to spend the summer in the coolness of Firyuza. In 1917, the congress of Semirechensk Cossacks decided to “recognize the appointed Lieutenant General Kiyashko as the Nakazny Ataman.” But in red Tashkent he died that same year during the anti-Bolshevik uprising.

I try to learn more about the past, maybe because I still remember a lot. It seems like such a small thing, but I remember watching “The Incident at Dash-Kala” for the first time at the Firyuza Holiday House under the starry sky. I remember all this... I still remember. These memories warm my life. But why are they forcing us to forget all this, trying to weed our brains out of the joy of memories? relaxing holiday, how the former luxurious gardens of Firyuza were weeded and cut down to the roots. There is only one road left, which runs straight into the gates of the border post. They opened it and... everyone was already in Iran. Who needs this? Only the family that now lives on former resort, once a national health resort, in a village where up to 3 thousand people lived, which was then available to all of us, regardless of social status.

Former village of Archabil (Firyuza)

Name

On the territory of the former military sanatorium “Firyuza” there is the largest plane tree in Central Asia - “Seven Brothers”. The Firyuzinka River flows through the village, lined with a granite embankment built by a construction battalion.

Sycamore Park. Volosh (walnut) trees. Blackberry thickets.

Architecture

It is a narrowly elongated layout with one central street, between the slopes of the mountains and the gorge, along the Firyuzinka River. The village ends at the border gate to Iran.

Until 1917, the dachas of the highest colonial administration and the head of the Trans-Caspian region stood in Firyuz. A narrow gauge railway was built, which was dismantled for military needs before 1917.

In Soviet times, it was built up with private houses, buildings of recreation centers and boarding houses, 12 pioneer camps (Orlyonok, Druzhba (Dostluk), Pogranichnik, Stroitel, Yashlyk (Youth), “Harvest”, “Dozorny”, etc.), cafe. There were: a high school, a maternity hospital, kindergartens, a cinema, swimming pools, a park, and an apple orchard.

The village has been gasified since 1983.

In the post-Soviet period, one of the country residences of the Turkmen president began to be located in Firyuz. In terms of architecture, the high school, built in the early eighties, stood out for its original design. Now it houses a border post. Opposite the school, on the mountain, there was a concrete sculpture of an eagle. Under construction: a new presidential palace, villas for the family and relatives of the president. For these purposes, since the 2000s. In the 20th century, the resettlement of local residents to the cities of Ashgabat and Bezmein was carried out, which was completed by 2008.
