Döwletli zaman is a new town located in Mary Province, Turkmenistan. It was granted township status on 1st August 2016.[1] In 2022, it had a population of 982 people.[2]
Etymology
The name "Döwletli zaman" is a typical example of independent Turkmenistan's new settlements' names. It's made of two words: "Döwletli," which refers to wealth, prosperity, well-being, and "zaman," which means "time." The name of the settlement echoes the idea of "Happy days."
History
The town was lawfully established by a decree of the Assembly of Turkmenistan signed on August 1, 2016.[1] The place was the third of its kind inaugurated during summer 2016, along with Bagtyýar zaman in S.A.Nyýazow District and Berkarar zaman in Garabekewül District,[3] which was called a Potemkin village by RFE/RL.[4]
When Oguzhan District was abolished in 2022, the town was transferred to Sakarçäge District.[5] Oguzhan District was reestablished in late 2025.[6]
On 11 February 2025, a ceremony was held in Döwletli zaman's cultural center, inaugurating Sakarçäge District as "district of the year 2024" in the presence of President Serdar Berdimuhamedow.[7]
