[1] The academy was closed under president Saparmurat Niyazov and reopened by his successor, Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow.
"[4] The academy publishes four journals, Наука и техника в Туркменистане (Science and Technology in Turkmenistan), Проблемы освоения пустынь (Problems of Desert Development), Мирас (Heritage), and Наука и техника молодёжи (Science and Technology for Youth).
It would later become the State Academic Council, under the People's Commissariat of Education, and then in May 1932 the Turkmen Scientific Research Institute.
[6][7] In March 1936, by resolution of the Central Executive Committee and the Council of People's Commissars of the Turkmen Soviet Socialist Republic, it was reduced to the Institute of History and Language and Literature.
The present academy was established 29 June 1951 by decree of the Presidium of the USSR Supreme Soviet.
With the revival of the academy in 2009 the structure of science and research in Turkmenistan changed, reflecting reforms initiated by President Berdimuhamedow.
By decree of President Berdimuhamedow in January 2019, the government will gradually end state funding of the Academy of Sciences of Turkmenistan, phasing it out over three years.
