Today, it is a mournful date in Turkmenistan, the Nationwide Memorial Day in commemoration of the victims of the 1948 Ashgabat earthquake, as well as the heroes who fell on the battlefields of all wars. President Serdar Berdimuhamedov took participation in the mournful flowers laying ceremony at the monuments within the “Halk Hakydasy” Memorial Complex.

...The further time takes us away from the events of those harsh years, the deeper the memory and recognition of the grateful descendants is of the feat of their heroic Homeland defenders, who laid down their lives for the happy future of future generations.
