Figure it out yet?

A couple days ago (it seems like longer ago than that, but the date says the 28th) I posted this challenge:

There are only two countries in the world whose names begin, but don’t end, with the letter A.

I figured it out. Can you?

Graycie quickly got 'Afganistan.'

Any luck on the other?

I'll give you a hint. The CIA World Factbook says that this is a 'nation with a Turkic and majority-Muslim population - regained its independence after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991.'
