Turkmenistan - Level 1: Exercise Normal Precautions
Exercise normal precautions in Turkmenistan.

Turkmenistan, a Central Asian country, is characterized by its vast desert landscape. The Karakum Desert, which covers about 80% of the country's landmass, dominates the central and eastern regions with its rolling sand dunes. The Kopet Dag Mountain range forms the southern border with Iran, offering a stark contrast to the flat desert plains. To the west, Turkmenistan borders the Caspian Sea, providing access to crucial water resources and transportation routes. The Amu Darya river, forming part of the country's border with Afghanistan and Uzbekistan, is another significant water feature. Despite the arid environment, oases and fertile valleys exist, particularly along the river systems, supporting agriculture and human settlements.
