According to BFI, Karakum was released as a feature film as well as a four-part TV miniseries. (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links)

There is a DVD available in the original German, as well as a rip from a TV broadcast on YouTube. There may or may not be a version with English subtitles floating around; the DVD cover is partially in English. A YouTube review of several Turkmeni films lists it as one of the few that was available in English. If anyone has more info that would be helpful.
