Russian text of the Constitution of Turkmenistan, 1992, as amended to 26 September 2008

This volume contains the Turkmenistan Civil Code as adopted in December 1998. The translation by William E. Butler is based on the official text and any differences with the Russian language version are noted in footnote annotations. The Turkmenistan Civil Code is unique in the CIS for incorporating as part of its official title the name of the President of Turkmenistan, Saparmurat Turkmenbashi. This gives the Civil Code a special symbolic value in the hierarchy of sources of Turkmenistan Law. Another important feature of the Civil Code is its lack of a section devoted to private international law, or "conflicts of law". Until this position is rectified or clarified, Turkmenistan law is the sole applicable law.

The Civil Code of Turkmenistan here appears for the first time in English since the original version published in 1999. Changes have been substantial in a text renowned for incomplete and inaccurate versions. Of all the post-Soviet civil codes, this is in many ways the most sophisticated in drawing upon continental models and remains a key document for any foreign investor or comparative lawyer as a leading Central Asian example of the transition to a market-oriented economy.
