An investigation by Turkmen.news, based on what it says is Interior Ministry data, describes a network of secret police informants across Turkmenistan, operating under code names like Chapyk, Gazak, Julge, Gamysh and Venom.
According to the investigation, the informants can be a chatty neighbour, a respected colleague or a shopkeeper in the courtyard, listening to conversations, mapping social circles and reporting in detail to handlers at conspiratorial flats.
Turkmen.news says the material comes from a source inside the security structures. The outlet has published a series drawn from the same data trove, and the picture it paints is of a state that watches everyday life, not just dissent.
