What you will see
Ashgabat is outside the path of totality, so the Sun is never fully covered. At the peak, 15:25:41 local time, the Moon hides 18.5% of the Sun. The partial eclipse starts at 14:34:51 and ends at 16:13:57, 1 h 39 min later.
At the peak the Sun is 55° above the horizon, towards the south-west, so you want a clear view in that direction from Ashgabat.

Seeing totality
The nearest edge of the path of totality is about 2,502 km south-west of Ashgabat.
The nearest place on this site with at least a minute of totality is King Abdullah City, about 2,519 km south-west, where totality lasts 3 m 02 s.
Totality is shortest at the edges of the path and longest along the centre line, so the further inside you go, the longer it lasts.
Eye safety guide: Never look at the Sun without certified eclipse glasses, except during totality.
