Lights on the Main New Year Tree of Turkmenistan Lit

Bright lights lit up on the New Year Tree of the country, heralding the imminent arrival of the beloved and long-awaited, cheerful and good holiday – New Year’s Day. Following the tradition, the celebrations centred in the square in front of the Älem Cultural and Entertainment Centre, located in one of the picturesque districts of the capital at the foothills of the Kopetdag Mountains, where the tallest New Year’s Tree was installed. It is surrounded with a festively decorated fairy-tale town.

Towards the Holiday

The New Year 2024 is getting closer. It can be felt in the changing look of cities and villages, where festively decorated New Year’s trees have appeared. And near the building “Türkmeniň ak öýi”, the main forest beauty of the southern region of the country has already shone with multi-coloured lights. With the onset of dusk, the streets of the city on the Murghab River are covered with luminescent light from hundreds of New Year’s garlands covering decorative vegetation. However, not only the changing look of the city indicates the approach of everyone’s favourite New Year’s holiday. It is noticeable that many townspeople are caught up in pleasant chores. When meeting with friends and acquaintances, they involuntarily smile, congratulating each other on the forthcoming holiday with wishes of happiness, goodness, peace and prosperity at home.

Both Tasty and Healthy

The look of the village is changing before our eyes. Almost all elements of urban life quickly penetrated into its life: the Internet, mobile communications and high-quality houses with all amenities. Almost every yard has a car. Now you will not see a person walking from a well with buckets filled with water. Nevertheless, one thing in the life of the villagers remains unchanged: the majority of its residents are engaged in livestock raising and farming. Even those whose profession is not connected with agriculture work in their free time on their plot of land, some for the family and some for sale. A resident of the village of the Taze Durmush of Nobat Gutliyev Gengeshlik, Charjev etrap, Miyesser Tangrykuliyeva is among those who cannot sit idle even for an hour. After graduating from the International University for Humanities and Development, she has been teaching computer science to children at secondary school 10 for four years. However, born and raised in the village, she cannot imagine her life without working on the land.
