Gülşat Sakhyevna Mämmedowa (born 1964) is a Turkmenistan politician and deputy chair (Speaker) of the Turkmen Parliament, the Mejlis.[1] She was nominated by the Speaker and appointed by President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow in June 2017, in accordance with article 80 of the Constitution of Turkmenistan.[1]

She was born in Ashgabat, and studied at Turkmen State University, then worked as a researcher from 1988 to 2015. In 2009 she became the Turkmen Minister of Education, following the dismissal of Muhammetgeldi Annaamanov, having previously served as deputy minister.[2] She was herself reprimanded by President Berdimuhamedow in 2012 "for poor performance of official duties" as a result of problems with the examination process,[3] and lost her position in 2015.[4]

In 2016 she became the Deputy Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers of Turkmenistan for Culture and Media,[5] in which role she announced a competition for young singers and gifted children, and others working in the sphere of the arts, to win a presidential award.[6] She also reported on Turkmenistan Culture Days held in other countries.[7] In greeting his new cabinet in February 2017, President Berdimuhamedow praised the former minister and said that "her experience and knowledge will be used in another important area".[8]
