    Extractions: Country Listing Turkmenistan Table of Contents Islam came to the Turkmen primarily through the activities of Sufi (see Glossary) shaykhs rather than through the mosque and the "high" written tradition of sedentary culture. These shaykhs were holy men critical in the process of reconciling Islamic beliefs with pre-Islamic belief systems; they often were adopted as "patron saints" of particular clans or tribal groups, thereby becoming their "founders." Reformulation of communal identity around such figures accounts for one of the highly localized developments of Islamic practice in Turkmenistan. Integrated within the Turkmen tribal structure is the "holy" tribe called övlat . Ethnographers consider the övlat, of which six are active, as a revitalized form of the ancestor cult injected with Sufism. According to their genealogies, each tribe descends from the Prophet Muhammad through one of the Four Caliphs. Because of their belief in the sacred origin and spiritual powers of the övlat representatives, Turkmen accord these tribes a special, holy status. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the

Contact BRIEFLY STATED HISTORY OF TURKMENISTAN Chronology of significant events The territory of Turkmenistan has been populated since ancient times, as armies from one empire to another decamped on their way to more prosperous territories. Tribes of horse-breeding Turkmen drifted into the territory of Turkmenistan from ancient times, possibly from the Altay Mountains, and grazed along the outskirts of the Karakum Desert into Persia, Syria, and Anatolia. As early societies learned to make pottery and metal tools, they began to trade with other peoples of Central Asia. This profitable trade however, also attracted foreign invaders. By the 6 th century BC, the powerful Persian Empire had established its provinces in what is now Turkmenistan. From their base south of the Kopet-Dag Range, the Persians controlled trade through Central Asia and subdued the many nomadic peoples who lived on Turkmenistan's arid plains.

    http://www.weavingartmuseum.org/ex3_prehist.htm
    
    Extractions: Part I The history of the Turkmen responsible for the weavings illustrated in this catalog has never been easy to understand. Most references to their origins are based on the same hypothesis that begins with the migration of nomads from southern Siberia who brought with them the art of cut-pile weaving. While it is true that the oldest known knotted-pile weaving has been found in this general area, the following text will show that the prehistoric occupation of south-west Turkestan by indigenous groups of inhabitants must be considered before conceding that the much later migration of Siberian nomad groups was the only source for the Turkmen lifestyle and weaving tradition. The long and indigenous cultural history of Turkmenistan, which began well before migrations of mounted nomads from the northern steppe during the eighth century BC, should become quite obvious after reading the The tenacious quality of culture and tradition to remain fixed to geographical location is another factor that should not be forgotten in considering the history of the Turkmen. The societal changes that began in this area during the sixth millennium BC established important cultural fundamentals that were able to remain unchanged in the face of great social unrest and pressure. These intrinsic patterns in settlement location, architectural techniques, agricultural methods, animal husbandry and design traditions have survived virtually unchanged for thousands of years. They provide the real history of the Turkmen.

    Extractions: In 1993, the Majlis (see Government) approved a motion to extend Nyyazow’s term of office beyond 1997 until 2002. Then, in 1999, it decided to make him president for life. ‘Türkmenbashy’ has evolved a cult of personality to rival any in the world - it has reportedly extended to renaming calendar months in honour of him and assorted relatives. Opposition has been quickly and brutally suppressed, especially in the wake of a reported assassination attempt against Nyyazow in late 2002. This peculiar and unpleasant regime is tolerated by the international community for two main reasons - the country’s strategic position and its enormous (and, as yet, largely undeveloped) reserves of oil, gas and precious metals.
