Districts Of Turkmenistan
The districts of Turkmenistan (, sing. ''etrap'') are territorial entities below the regions of Turkmenistan, provinces of Turkmenistan (, sing. ''Wilayah, welaýat''). They may be counties, cities, or boroughs of cities. The heads of the districts (, translated as "governor" for districts of a ''welaýat'' and "mayor" for cities or boroughs of a city) are appointed by the President of Turkmenistan (Constitution of Turkmenistan, Articles 80-81).
