This newspaper was first published on November 7, 1924 under the name Turkmenskaya Iskra (Russian: Туркменская искра, "Turkmen Spark").[2][3] Between 1927 and 1929, the daily circulation rose from 7,000 to 10,000 copies.[2]
In 1959, the newspaper was awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labor.[4] In December 1974, the newspaper received a certificate of honor (Russian: почётная грамота) from the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Turkmen Soviet Socialist Republic.[5] In 1975, its circulation was 60 thousand copies.
In 1995, the newspaper was renamed Neytralny Turkmenistan ("Neutral Turkmenistan"). That same year, Gozel Nuraliyeva became a deputy editor, later rising to the position of editor-in-chief.[6]
Since 2012, a weekly digest called Neutral Turkmenistan has been published in English, on 8 pages in A3 format.[7][8] A Turkmen-language near-duplicate daily newspaper, Türkmenistan, is published simultaneously.[9] Türkmenistan is the first Turkmen-language newspaper published in Turkmenistan, with a first issue published on 29 July 1920.[10][11]
