Derweze District is a former district of Ahal Province in Turkmenistan.[1][2] Before October 2001 it was known as Ashgabat District.[3] In 2013 Ruhabat District was renamed Derweze District and part of it was annexed by the city of Ashgabat as the Ruhabat District of that city.[4][5][6][7] Ruhabat District of Ashgabat was then abolished in 2018.[8]
Derweze District of Ahal Province was subsequently abolished and its territory assigned to Gökdepe District. As of 2021 it was no longer listed among the districts of Ahal Province on the provincial government's official website.[9]
