Gyzyletrek (also Bayat-Khadzhi, Kyzyl-Atrek) is a town in western Turkmenistan. It is located in Balkan Province on the Atrek River bordering on Iran. The name means "Red Atrek" and may be a reference to the silt load that the Atrek River carries at that point. It is the capital of Etrek District (formerly Gyzyletrek District).
