The meeting of the Milli Gengesh of Turkmenistan and public representatives held in the Turkmen capital on January 21 was rich in historic decisions. Those decisions originate from the will of our happy people. At this socio-political event, the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan was established; our Hero-Arkadag Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov was elected as the Chairman of this high representative body of the people's power and was recognized as the national leader of the Turkmen people.
