Yes, it's a 4WD road, I would say, but the border is open towards Bekdash. You should have a look at my visa guide for reports on visas in istanbul/ankara. If I recall correctly without looking, I think Ankara is better, but see for yourself. Remember you can apply for your Turkmen visa in one embassy (eg. London, Ankara) and pick it up in a second one (eg. Baku).
