Districts of Turkmenistan

May 04, 2023

The districts of Turkmenistan (Turkmen: etraplar, sing. etrap) are territorial entities below the provinces of Turkmenistan (Turkmen: welaýatlar, sing. welaýat). They may be counties, cities, or boroughs of cities. The heads of the districts (Turkmen: häkim, translated as "governor" for districts of a welaýat and "mayor" for cities or boroughs of a city) are appointed by the President of Turkmenistan (Constitution of Turkmenistan, Articles 80-81).

Provinces of Turkmenistan

Regarding cities "with district status" (Turkmen: etrap hukukly), by Turkmen law, "...such cities must have population over 30,000 and be the administrative center of a province (welaýat); headed by a presidentially appointed häkim." Though this officially limits the possible number of such cities to five (the number of provinces), in reality other cities are periodically accorded the status of a district. As of 9 November 2022, 7 cities in Turkmenistan enjoyed the status of districts.[1] One city, the capital city of Ashgabat, enjoys the status of a province.[2]

Two cities in Turkmenistan feature subordinate districts headed by mayors. Such districts are best rendered into English as "boroughs" to distinguish them from municipal districts without their own governments, which are also called etraplar in Turkmen (but are called микрорайоны in Russian). Ashgabat has four boroughs and as of November 2022 Turkmenbashy has one.

Cities with "district status"

See also: List of cities in Turkmenistan

Under Turkmen law, some cities are granted "district status" (Turkmen: etrap hukukly), meaning they are headed by a presidentially appointed mayor (Turkmen: häkim) and control their own budgets. Cities without this status (cities "in a district", Turkmen: etrapdaky) are headed by a council (Turkmen: geňeş) chaired by an arçyn rather than a mayor. Cities in Turkmenistan with district status are:[2][1]

Ahal Province

  1. Arkadag şäheri

Balkan Province

  1. Balkanabat şäheri
  2. Türkmenbaşy şäheri
