Turkmenistan is located in Central Asia. Historically, it was a vital part of the Silk Road, linking East and West with trade and culture. Conquered by Persian, Arab, Mongol, and Russian empires, it became part of the Soviet Union until independence in 1991. The country is known for its vast Karakum Desert, ancient cities like Merv, and the Darvaza “Door to Hell” gas crater. Fun fact: Ashgabat, the capital city, holds the Guinness record for the most white marble buildings.
