Our national pride

Great work is underway to preserve the purity of the Turkmen alabay, to glorify this breed on the world arena, to develop and improve the national dog breeding in the revival of the new epoch of the powerful state. The construction of the dog breeding complexes, the establishment of the Turkmen Alabay International Association, and the annual celebration of the Turkmen Alabay Day on the last Sunday in October vividly demonstrate this fact. Our happy people prepare to celebrate the Turkmen Alabay Day in the year ‘Ocean of Wisdom of Magtymguly Pyragy’. On this remarkable holiday, the President of Turkmenistan signed the Decree on organizing the international contest ‘Ýylyň türkmen edermen alabaýy’ in Ashgabat on October 27, 2024, as well as on holding the relevant competition in the field of artistic expression of the appearance of the Turkmen alabay in the works of applied and practical art, publications, photographs, and TV shows. This document has great importance in promoting the Turkmen alabay, which is the national wealth and pride of the Turkmen people.

Nationwide council

The meeting of the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan, chaired by our Hero-Arkadag Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, opened a new glorious page in the history of our Motherland on the eve of the 33rd anniversary of independence. The representatives of different social groups took part in the national forum held on September 24. These days, the promotional meetings are held for our compatriots. The participants of these events highlight the tasks set at the meeting of the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan and explain the importance of the adopted documents.

The basis for development

The significance of the literary works by Magtymguly increases in the world in the revival of the new epoch of the powerful state. The international forum ‘Interrelation of Times and Civilizations – the Basis of Peace and Development’ dedicated to the 300th anniversary of the birth of Magtymguly Pyragy took place in the white marble Turkmen capital and testified to the abovementioned fact. The wonderful poems by the great poet gladdened the hearts of people. To date, the world community fully recognizes that Magtymguly Pyragy is a great personality who left immortal philosophical poems about peace and all aspects of the human life. The heritage of the poet and his wise poems have entered the history and remind of the ocean with greatness and depth. The increasing interest in the literary heritage of the great thinker also gives reason to say so. The participants of the international forum ‘Interrelation of Times and Civilizations – the Basis of Peace and Development’ noted in their substantial speeches the opportunity to realize this fact in Ashgabat these remarkable days.

A blossoming city

As is known, the construction of facilities is underway on the territory of our white marble city of Ashgabat on the basis of comprehensive urban planning projects and programmes nowadays. A number of these facilities were put into operation on the eve of the 33rd anniversary of independence, which was celebrated with great joy in the year ‘Ocean of Wisdom of Magtymguly Pyragy’. These opening ceremonies became a wonderful gift for our happy people. Ashgabat entered the Guinness World Records owing to its architectural features. Every building, avenue, street, the beautiful parks with tall trees, the fountains with sweet sounds of water, and the lighting systems that illuminate the city at night provide perfection and amazing beauty to our beloved capital.

The principles of humanity

Our Hero-Arkadag Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov implements great work on protecting the health of the younger generations, who represent the future of our Motherland. The establishment of the Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov Charitable Foundation for Aid to Children in Need of Guardianship proves this fact. To date, the organisation conducts large-scale measures to protect and restore children's health. Following the principles of friendship, good neighbourliness, and humanity, which are characteristic of the Turkmen people, children in different countries of the world received humanitarian aid at the expense of the Foundation. The organisation provided the medical ambulances equipped with the necessary modern equipment for the children's departments of regional and city hospitals. This year, Dialog+ haemodialysis systems were donated to regional health care institutions to improve the health of patients suffering from chronic kidney diseases and to prolong their life expectancy.

The voice of the human soul

Magtymguly Pyragy praised the concepts of morality and humanism, and created a unique school of promoting and educating these values. The principles of humanity include the concepts of ‘goodwill’, ‘kindness’, and ‘generosity’ in the literary works by the thinker. Magtymguly sometimes praised these concepts, sometimes compared them, at certain moments regretted that people lack certain qualities, and proved that goodwill is not just an intention, but an action. The humane character and the thought of benevolence shine the light of prosperity on our life and inspires our people to do only good deeds. Thus, when humanity forms the core of the state policy, people are happy, society is united, country is prosperous, and the state initiatives are always successful.

Respect for the great poet

Development in the economic and cultural life of the people and a wide range of transformations indicate the great work conducted in the country in the revival of the new epoch of the powerful state. The year ‘Ocean of Wisdom of Magtymguly Pyragy’ and the international celebration of the 300th anniversary of the birth of the great poet and thinker became the most significant events in the cultural life of the Turkmen people. The anniversary of the birth of Magtymguly Pyragy, who formed the spiritual heritage of the nation and the basis for the literary language, has special importance in the development of the cultural relations.
