  • On 20 December 2014, the President of the Turkmenistan signed into law the statute “On the legal regulation of the development of the Internet and Internet services in Turkmenistan”. It consists of 8 chapters and 34 articles.

    The main objectives of the statute are to provide unrestricted Internet access to users throughout the territory of Turkmenistan, to define the legal regime of the information posted or disseminated online, to prevent socially dangerous acts committed on the Internet, as well as to create the conditions necessary to maximise the detection and subsequent punishment of those who commit such offenses.
