Garaşsyz, Bitarap Türkmenistanyň Döwlet Gimni : Leader's of Republic of Turkmenistan (2021)

°The lyrics were originally written by the first president of Turkmenistan, Saparmurat Niyazov (also known as Turkmenbashi), who died on 21 December 2006. Less than two years after his death, the reference to Turkmenbashi in the chorus was replaced with "the people",among other minor changes to the lyrics, and the chorus was removed from the start of the piece. The text of the anthem is given here in its present form, followed by the original text from the Niyazov period. The national anthem is played at the start of radio and television broadcasts at 6:55 a.m. local time and played again when radio and television stations sign off.
°Until 1996, Turkmenistan, which received independence a few years earlier, used the Turkmen SSR anthem without words as the state anthem. The new anthem was adopted on 27 September 1996 by the People's Council of Turkmenistan in Bayramali. The anthem, known by the first sentence of the chorus "The great creation of Turkmenbashi", was used from 1997 to 2008, when it was given minor changes.
On 18 May 2017, the Day of Poetry Makhtumkuli Fraghi and the Constitution Day were celebrated in Turkmenistan. According to the established tradition, celebrations in honour of the significant date began at the Monument to the Constitution. The presidential car arrived at the festively decorated square in front of the Monument. After welcoming the ceremony participants, the head of state walked along the carpet to a designated place on the square in front of the Monument to the Constitution. On that day, the Turkmen national anthem was played.
