The area was ruled in antiquity by various Persian empires, and was conquered by Alexander the Great, Muslim armies, the Mongols, Turkic warriors, and eventually the Russians. In medieval times, Merv (located in present-day Mary province) was one of the great cities of the Islamic world and an important stop on the Silk Road. Annexed by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.searchdrivingdirections.com\/maps\/russia-google-maps\/\">Russia<\/a> in the late 1800s, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.searchdrivingdirections.com\/maps\/turkmenistan-google-maps\/\">Turkmenistan<\/a> later figured prominently in the anti-Bolshevik movement in Central Asia. In 1924, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.searchdrivingdirections.com\/maps\/turkmenistan-google-maps\/\">Turkmenistan<\/a> became a Soviet republic; it achieved independence upon the dissolution of the USSR in 1991. Extensive hydrocarbon\/natural gas reserves, which have yet to be fully exploited, have begun to transform the country. The Government of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.searchdrivingdirections.com\/maps\/turkmenistan-google-maps\/\">Turkmenistan<\/a> is moving to expand its extraction and delivery projects and has attempted to diversify its gas export routes beyond <a href=\"https:\/\/www.searchdrivingdirections.com\/maps\/russia-google-maps\/\">Russia<\/a>&#8217;s pipeline network. In 2010, new gas export pipelines that carry Turkmen gas to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.searchdrivingdirections.com\/maps\/china-google-maps\/\">China<\/a> and to northern <a href=\"https:\/\/www.searchdrivingdirections.com\/maps\/iran-google-maps\/\">Iran<\/a> began operating, effectively ending the Russian monopoly on Turkmen gas exports. Subsequently, decreased Russian purchases, as well as limited purchases by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.searchdrivingdirections.com\/maps\/iran-google-maps\/\">Iran<\/a>, have made <a href=\"https:\/\/www.searchdrivingdirections.com\/maps\/china-google-maps\/\">China<\/a> the dominant buyer of Turkmen gas. President for Life Saparmurat NYYAZOW died in December 2006, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.searchdrivingdirections.com\/maps\/turkmenistan-google-maps\/\">Turkmenistan<\/a> held its first multi-candidate presidential election in February 2007. Gurbanguly BERDIMUHAMEDOW, a deputy cabinet chairman under NYYAZOW, emerged as the country&#8217;s new president; he was reelected in February 2012 with 97% of the vote, in an election widely regarded as undemocratic.
