Assembly of Turkmenistan, lower house of parliament of Turkmenistan
The Assembly of Turkmenistan is the single-chamber parliament of the country, located in the capital Ashgabat. It is the body where elected members debate and pass legislation that governs the country.
The Assembly was created in the 1990s after Turkmenistan declared independence and replaced the Soviet-era legislative structures. It has since remained the country's main lawmaking body.
The building is not generally open to the public, and any visit should be planned carefully in advance. It is worth checking access conditions before making the trip, as entry may require prior authorization.
Turkmenistan once had a two-chamber parliament but later returned to a single-chamber system, making the Assembly the sole legislative body. This shift reflects how the country has chosen to organize its political institutions over time.
