Links Turkmenistan, like Kazakhstan, borders on the Caspian Sea making it one of the two Westernmost Central Asian Republics. It also shares borders with Iran and Afghanistan in the South, Kazakhstan in the North and Uzbekistan in the East and North. It is slightly larger than the state of California and stretches 1,100 kilometers from West to East and 650 kilometers from North to South at its widest points. About 80% of the country is classified as desert and it thus it has one of the smaller population densities in Central Asia. However, it has good reserves of natural gas and oil and their extraction and processing constitute the nation’s largest industry. Since most of Turkmenistan is desert, rivers are few and mostly used for irrigation. The most important river is the Amu Darya, the longest river in Central Asia, which flows across northeastern Turkmenistan; however, it has been excessively dammed for use in irrigation and its declining water volume has had adverse effects on the Aral Sea (See Uzbekistan for a discussion of this problem). Other major rivers include the Tejen, the Murgap and the Atrek. However, the nation has a 1700 kilometer border on the Caspian sea and thus has access to seaports for shipping and water from this sea. Other than that, of course, the nation is landlocked.

Geography Turkmenistan Table of Contents Turkmenistan is the southernmost republic of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), the loose federation created at the end of 1991 by most of the post-Soviet states. Its longest border is with the Caspian Sea (1,786 kilometers). The other borders are with Iran (to the south, 992 kilometers), Afghanistan (to the south, 744 kilometers), Uzbekistan (to the north and east, 1,621 kilometers) and Kazakstan (to the north, 379 kilometers). Turkmenistan is slightly larger than California in territory, occupying 488,100 square kilometers. That statistic ranks Turkmenistan fourth among the former Soviet republics. The country's greatest extent from west to east is 1,100 kilometers, and its greatest north-to-south distance is 650 kilometers. Turkmenistan's average elevation is 100 to 220 meters above sea level, with its highest point being Mount Ayrybaba (3,137 meters) in the Kugitang Range of the Pamir-Alay chain in the far east, and its lowest point in the Transcaspian Depression (100 kilometers below sea level). Nearly 80 percent of the republic lies within the Turon Depression, which slopes from south to north and from east to west. Turkmenistan's mountains include 600 kilometers of the northern reaches of the Kopetdag Range, which it shares with Iran. The Kopetdag Range is a region characterized by foothills, dry and sandy slopes, mountain plateaus, and steep ravines; Mount Shahshah (2,912 meters), southwest of Ashgabat, is the highest elevation of the range in Turkmenistan. The Kopetdag is undergoing tectonic transformation, meaning that the region is threatened by earthquakes such as the one that destroyed Ashgabat in 1948 and registered nine on the Richter Scale. The Krasnovodsk and Üstirt plateaus are the prominent topographical features of northwestern Turkmenistan.

It achieved its independence upon the dissolution of the USSR in 1991. President NIYAZOV retains absolute control over the country and opposition is not tolerated. Extensive hydrocarbon/natural gas reserves could prove a boon to this underdeveloped country if extraction and delivery projects can be worked out.
