October 27-28
This national holiday commemorates Turkmenistan's independence from the U.S.S.R. on October 27, 1991. Turkmenistan and other republics were
gradually able to establish their own autonomous states due to the
relaxation of Soviet rule influenced by the policy of perestroika. When
the Soviet Union ceased to exist in December 1991, their independence
was assured.
