Etymology
The name "Bereketli zaman" is a typical example of independent Turkmenistan's new settlements' names. It's made of two words: "Bereketli," which refers to fertility, productivity, and "zaman," which means "time." Together, it roughly translates as "Era of productivity."
History
The town was built as a greenfield project. It was lawfully established by a decree of the Assembly of Turkmenistan signed on 28 September 2016.[1] It was unveiled with great festivities in the presence of President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow on 12 October 2016. On the other hand, RFE/RL shows footage of empty streets on 19 October 2016,[3] denouncing a set of "Potemkin villages" as other settlements of the same kind were unveiled in the previous months.[4]
On 9 November 2022, the neighboring rural council centered around the village of Gäwers was abolished, and its constituencies were transferred to Bereketli zaman's authority.[5]
