The State Anthem of Turkmenistan, also titled "National Anthem of Independent, Neutral Turkmenistan", was adopted as the national anthem of Turkmenistan in 1996, replacing the Anthem of the Turkmen Soviet Socialist Republic. After the death of Türkmenbaşy in 2006, the lyrics were changed in 2008 to remove any mention of him.[1][lower-alpha 1] The music was composed by Weli Muhadow,[2] who also composed the music of the Turkmen SSR's regional anthem.

The lyrics were originally written by the first president of Turkmenistan, Saparmurat Nyýazow (better known as Türkmenbaşy), who died on 21 December 2006. Less than two years after his death, references to him in the chorus were replaced with "the people",[3] and both the third and final verse and the chorus at the start of the piece were removed. 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.[4]
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", in reference to the country's first leader Saparmurat Nyýazow, was used from 1997 to 2008, when it was given minor changes when his successor, Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow, ordered to do so following Nyýazow's death in 2006.
