Günler Geçdi

Günler Geçdi (lit. 'The Days Gone By') is the national anthem of Ahaltekňtop, officially adopted on the 19th of November, 1961.

History
After the intensively interventionist Communist Administrations of the Social Authority of Ahaltekňtop, the new government of Orazgeldi Açeuki ordered for a collection of songs to be voted upon. One of the few certified and fair referendums in Ahalteki history took place to choose the anthem, and the traditional folk song "Günler Geçdi" won out in the end.

Supreme President Açeuki approved the referendum and its decision on the 17th of November, 1961, just 10 days after his grab of power. His government was notoriously bureaucratic its early days, so it took until the 19th of November to get it officialized and a ceremony proclaiming it was held on the 20th. The ceremony was attended in a report from the regime as "in great number and order", though there are no sources to back this up, as the country was still (and still is) in restrictive isolation.
