Based on Constructive Development

The results of the meeting of the leadership of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Turkmenistan with the delegation of the Political Office of the Taliban Movement, held in Ashgabat on February 6, caused great public, political and international resonance. They once again confirm the indisputable fact that the basis for the strengthening and further development of the modern architecture of international relations is nothing more than peace and trust. The history of relations between two neighbouring peoples, united by common traditions, customs, culture and spiritual and moral values, is known to take its origins from the depths of centuries. Being a neutral state, Turkmenistan has been actively pursuing a policy of peace and open doors for nearly thirty years, aimed at cooperation with neighbouring countries, both in the interests of the region and entire humanity. At the same time, our country is a supporter of ensuring peace, security and sustainable development in Afghanistan, initiating an exclusively peaceful resolution of intra-Afghan problems on the basis of political means and a broad national dialogue.

A Life-Giving Source

Since ancient times, the secrets of human self-knowledge have been embodied in the figurative perception of objects of the surrounding world. The very possibility of survival was of great importance for the people living in the desert, for which they needed water. They extracted moisture from the well, each drop of which was like a grain of gold, and the well was more than an object, it was a life-giving and spiritual source. For example, kumli, the people of the sands, tried to expand the horizons of their idea of the multifaceted and wise values of life. Yesterday, today and tomorrow – this creative link of people with the world they inhabit is and will be the essential element of the world outlook culture of human civilisation. The manmade well in the sea of loose sands not only symbolises life, but also serves as a spiritualised symbol of purity and harmony. The figurative language of the ancient people says, “The value of a well is not only water, because a river is not always needed to quench a thirst”. It is about the spiritual component. A deep source of cool water, as an invaluable metaphorical image, embodies the all-encompassing manifestation of life at the level of an individual, society and state.

A small Universe accomodating happiness

This folding house is one of the unique achievements of the Central Asian peoples. Its structure as a whole is the same, but the originality of each of them is manifested in the features of the external and internal design. Often decorated with felt and woven products, embroidery and artistic carvings, the yurt for the Turkmen was not just a dwelling, but something larger. The mobile assembled yurt ideally corresponded to the basic principle of nomadic life: it is a camp house – “All that is mine I carry with me.”

Peace, trust, responsibility

In the context of globalisation, which covers not only the economy, but also the political, cultural, educational, information and communication spheres, the issues of trust and responsibility for the peaceful coexistence of states and peoples have acquired a worldwide character. As the practice of international relations shows, first of all, it is mistrust that gives rise to instability and uncertainty in many situations, the consequences of which can affect all aspects of the life of countries and peoples. In this regard, a state policy based on universal trust, openness and responsibility becomes significant. In this, the International Year of Peace and Trust has an important role to play. This initiative is known to have come from our country. And Turkmenistan has all the authority to do this, since it is recognised by the world community as an active supporter of peace, security and sustainable development. This is eloquently confirmed by such facts as non-alignment with any political, economic or military alliances and blocs. But at the same time, Turkmenistan, being a member of international and regional organisations, is successfully building relations both in bilateral and multilateral formats.

Life is animated water

Throughout the history of their existence, people have accumulated rich experience in using of water for medicinal purposes. People were treated and strengthened by it in Ancient Egypt, Babylon, China and Ancient Greece. It is interesting that the word “doctor” in translation from Assyrian means “deity who knows water”. In Central Asia, baths existed already in the 2nd-1st centuries BC in the territory of Nisa. This is evidenced by the characteristic remains of the walls, properly designed “bathtubs”, floors and fragments of painting. Archaeologists accurately established the fact that the discovered room is a bathhouse. There is a legend about Rodoguna, the daughter of the Parthian king Mithridates I. Once, when she was having a bath, the capital city was besieged by enemies. Twisting her wet hair, which she vowed to wash after the victory, the queen jumped on her horse and at the head of the army rushed to the enemies.

The word regimen is a French word and in translation means “the action of governing”. First of all, it is about governing your time, and in the end, governing both your health and life.
