The National Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá’ís of Central Asia was a regional body responsible for administrating the Bahá’í communities in the region of Central Asia.

History[edit]

The National Spiritual Assembly of Central Asia was established in 1992 with its seat in Ishqabad.[1] Countries under its jurisdiction were Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan.[2] Throughout 1993 there was a dramatic increase in the number of Local Spiritual Assemblies in the region and it was decided that a regional body was no longer necessary.[3]

The Assembly was disbanded in 1994 and the constituent countries formed independent National Spiritual Assemblies,[4] with the National Spiritual Assembly of Turkmenistan being the direct successor of the Assembly.[1]
