Aytakov was born in the steppe on the Mangyshlak peninsula, near the Alexander Fort in the Transcaspian region.
The advance of the Red Army through the territories inhabited by the Turkmens and the capture of Krasnovodsk in February 1920 led to the establishment of Soviet power in the region. From 1920 to 1921 Aytakov became the chairman of the village council, and then a member of the volost Krasnovodsk revolutionary committee.
In 1921, Aytakov was elected a delegate to the county congress of councils, as well as a member of the executive committee of the Krasnovodsk county council, and served as head of the Krasnovodsk county department of social security; in 1922 he became chairman of the executive committee of the Krasnovodsk city council.
He joined the RCP(b) in 1922. At the session of the Central Executive Committee of the Turkestan ASSR, he was elected deputy chairman (1923 - January 9, 1924) and a member of the Presidium of the Central Executive Committee of the Turkestan ASSR. On January 9, 1924, Aitakov was approved as the chairman of the Central Executive Committee of the Turkestan ASSR (which at that time was part of the RSFSR) and worked in this position until 10/27/1927.
From November 1924 to February 1925 he was the chairman of the Revolutionary Committee of Turkmenistan, which acted as a provisional government. When the incorporation of Turkmenistan into the USSR was completed, Aytakov was elected to the post of chairman of the Central Executive Committee of the Turkmen SSR (February 1925-July 1937). Due to the acquisition of the status of a union republic by Turkmenistan, Aytakov was elected one of the chairmen of the Central Executive Committee of the USSR (May 21, 1925).
Aytakov was arrested in Ashgabat on the night of July 21–22, 1937. On October 28, 1938, the military collegium of the Supreme Court of the USSR sentenced Aytakov to death on charges of espionage and plotting to tear Turkmenistan away from the Soviet Union. The sentence was carried out on October 28, 1938.
Aytakov was rehabilitated by the Military Collegium of the Supreme Court of the USSR on December 12, 1956.
Aytakov's son, Zelili Nadyrbaevich Aytakov (1931-2010) was a surgeon-oncologist and doctor of medical sciences.
