From November 12 to 14, Ashgabat is hosting the XVIII International Exhibition and Scientific Conference “Türkmentel – 2025”, as well as the International Conference and Expo “International Transport and Transit Corridors: Interconnection and Development – 2025.” 

On the sidelines of the event, Turkmen entrepreneur Sapar Niyazov, founder of the increasingly popular national project Belet, spoke with a “GA” correspondent about the prospects of the entertainment online platform.

Our interlocutor informed that the service began operating in 2021. It became the first OTT service in Turkmenistan to offer UEFA Champions League broadcasts in 4K format without advertisements.

According to the project’s founder, Belet quickly gained popularity among Turkmen viewers.

“Our service covers the entire territory of the country. At present, the number of active users on the platform reaches around 800,000 people per month,” said S. Niyazov.

The entrepreneur also shared that Belet cooperates with the Oguzhan Turkmenfilm Association, organizing screenings of its new documentary and feature films. The company’s plans include expanding partnerships with local TV channels and launching applications for Samsung, LG, Hisense, and Apple TV smart televisions.
