The Origins of Turkmen Boschie

Paltrow: Turkmen Boschie promised to create a forest in the desert that would last a thousand years and improve Turkmenistan's brutal climate. To achieve this goal, he planted a massive cypress forest around a fake lake he had built in the desert. The buildings were never occupied because no one in the city could afford them. "I feel like if Nicholas Cage built a mosque, it would be less blasphemous than this," Paltrow says.
