population of the city has already grown to more than 1,5 mln. people. Its name 
has been changed many times during the centuries-old history (2): Chach, Shash, 
Binkent… All of these names could be transformed to Turkish word ―Tash‖ 
(stone) that gave a name to the city Tashkent (means ―stone settlement(3)‖).
