Society
In 2023, RFE/RL in Turkmenistan highlighted issues related to waste management and unemployment in Mary Province. In April 2023, they revealed how streets could be littered with rubbish, sometimes "for more than a week."[2] In August 2023, they covered how villages in rural areas like Çaşgyn suffer from a lack of economic activities. The population usually works in cotton and wheat fields with little financial aid, resulting in people leaving.[3] The next year, in May 2024, no real change is observed as people resettle in cities like "Mary, Baýramaly, Aşgabat, or even Türkmenbaşy" to find a job.[4]
