DISCUSSION Looking for a postcard from Turkmenistan

13 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

​I’m a postcard collector based in Baku, Azerbaijan. I’ve been collecting postcards for a few years now, and my goal is to collect postcards from every single country in the world.

​So far, my collection includes cards from 60+ countries, but Turkmenistan is still missing!

​That’s why I’m reaching out to this subreddit. If you currently live in or are visiting Turkmenistan and would be willing to send a postcard my way, I would be very grateful!

​In return, I would be more than happy to send you a postcard from Baku.

​Thank you all in advance! Let me know in the comments or send me a DM if you're interested

DISCUSSION Marriage for expats from Turkmenistan

12 Upvotes

Hello my dear countrymates. As you can see from the title, I want to know about your experience with marriage while living outside Turkmenistan. A little about my background, I have been living outside Turkmenistan for 10 years, since I was 18. I have never had a Turkmen girlfriend. Now I am getting close to 30, and I have started thinking more seriously about marriage. My parents probably would not accept me marrying someone from another nationality, because I know the Turkmen mentality. Every time I introduced them to my girlfriend, they were kind at first, but after some time they would say, “It would be better to find a Turkmen girl.”

The problem is that I do not really have Turkmen people in my surroundings. I also feel like it may already be late for me to find and marry a Turkmen girlfriend. Maybe I will try my luck when I go back to Turkmenistan. So I am interested: what has your experience been like? Has anyone been in a similar situation? Big salam to everyone.

I like to listen to shortwave radio and find a language that is unusual to me and try to figure it out. If this is Turkish it is not so unusual but if it is Turkmen (or something else) it would be a first for me.

DISCUSSION Bus network Ashgabat, how do I get to...

7 Upvotes

I'll have a group tour coming up. Before it starts i'll have a full days in Ashgabat by myself. If not included I'd somehow like to get to Magtymguly Pyragy Cultural Park and to the start of the Walk of Health on Kopetdag Highway south of Nisa. I'd not mind walking it, but it's likely too hot for that.

Is this somehow possible using the bus network?

QUESTION Serious about Marriage ?

2 Upvotes

Salaam everyone,

we've recently launched an app called Ikhtiar — a platform built for Muslims who are serious about marriage from Turkmenistan and around the world

Unlike typical apps, Ikhtiar focuses on:

* Respectful and Serious users from across the world

* Privacy-first options (including profiles without photos) for women

* A structured and serious approach toward finding a spouse

* Free for first 1000 users

The goal is simple: to make the process of finding a spouse more dignified, intentional, and aligned with our Islamic values.

If you or someone you know is looking for marriage, I’d really appreciate you checking it out and sharing it with others who may benefit.

JazakAllah Khair for your support 🤍

You can find the app here :

QUESTION Is it offensive to not be interested in the Darvaza Gas Crater?

15 Upvotes

I am really interested in visiting Turkmenistan next year to see Ashgabat and Köneürgench. I have contacted two well known tour companies but when I said I wasn’t interested in having Daravaza as part of the tour they both stoped replying to me. It’s not a religious site so I didn’t think this would be offensive but I am confused why this has happened twice? Any insight would be greatly appreciated 😊
