Turkmenistan Conflict Events: Weekly Aggregated Political Violence Data

The Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED) provides weekly aggregated counts of political violence, civilian-targeting, and demonstration events in Turkmenistan. The data is structured into country-year and country-month summaries to track conflict trends over time. This XLSX dataset is updated frequently, with the latest records extending through March 2026.

Use Cases

Strengths
