Biography

[edit]

She was born in Ashkhabad, and studied at Turkmen State University, then worked as a researcher from 1988 to 2015. In 2009, she became the Turkmen Minister of Education, following the dismissal of Muhammetgeldi Annaamanov, having previously served as deputy minister.[4] She was herself reprimanded by President Berdimuhamedow in 2012 "for poor performance of official duties" as a result of problems with the examination process,[5] and lost her position in 2015.[6]

In 2016, she became the Deputy Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers of Turkmenistan for Culture and Media,[7] in which role she announced a competition for young singers and gifted children, and others working in the sphere of the arts, to win a presidential award.[8] She also reported on Turkmenistan Culture Days held in other countries.[9] In greeting his new cabinet in February 2017, President Berdimuhamedow praised the former minister and said that "her experience and knowledge will be used in another important area".[10]

On 6 May 2024 Mämmedowa was appointed mayor (häkim) of the city of Arkadag by presidential decree, succeeding Shamuhammet Durdylyyev.[3]
