After the death of [[Saparmyrat Nyýazow]] in 2006, the lyrics were modified in 2008 by removing his title of "Türkmenbaşy" in the refrain.<ref name=anthem>''Turkmenistan to the Heights of the Golden Age'', Ashgabat, 2005.</ref>{{efn|The title is sometimes also ambiguously translated as "Independent, Neutral Turkmenistan State Anthem", a literal translation from the title in Turkmen. Since the [[Turkmen alphabet#Cyrillic|Cyrillic script]] is still widely used for Turkmen, it is rendered in Cyrillic as: Гарашсыз, Битарап Түркменистаның Дөвлет Гимни.

The lyrics were originally written by the first [[president of Turkmenistan]], [[Saparmyrat Nyýazow]], also known as Türkmenbaşy, who died on 21 December 2006. Less than two years after his death, references to him in the chorus were replaced with "the people",<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-turkmenistan-anthem-idUSTRE4BF52420081216|title=Absolute leader's name dropped from anthem|newspaper=Reuters |date=Dec 16, 2008|access-date=Jul 7, 2019|via=www.reuters.com}}</ref> and both the third and final verse and the chorus at the start of the piece were removed.

==History== Until 1996, Turkmenistan, which received independence a few years earlier, used the [[Anthem of the Turkmen Soviet Socialist Republic|Turkmen SSR anthem]] without words as the state anthem. The new anthem was adopted on 27 September 1996 by the [[People's Council of Turkmenistan]] in [[Bayramali]]. The anthem, known by the first sentence of the chorus, "The great creation of Türkmenbaşy", in reference to the country's first leader Saparmyrat Nyýazow, was used from 1997 to 2008, when it was given minor changes when his successor, [[Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow]], ordered to do so following Nyýazow's death in 2006.
