Turkmenistan — the land of lifelong friendship

Independence has much more great meaning than one could express it within the framework of just one article. However, it could be stated that independence is to live your own life, to stand on your feet and to define your destiny by yourself. Independence enables to protect your national feeling which has great power to stand as a nation. From the view of history, three decades are not so long time to prove oneself as a developed state and gain high reputation in international arena. However, our country — Permanent Neutral and Independent Turkmenistan has declared itself as the land of prosperity, benevolence and peace. May stand long Permanent Neutral and Independent Turkmenistan as world stands! On the 6th of August of 2021, the year declared as «Turkmenistan — Homeland of Peace and Trust» multilateral international events were held at the «Avaza» National Tourism Zone.

In these last days of July, it is unusually quiet at the children’s recreation centres in Geokdere. The health resorts have taken a short “pause”, which will be interrupted a day before the entry of August into its calendar rights, when the fifth summer shift starts.

From the Traveller’s Notebook

The sanctuaries of Myane Baba and Myalik Baba have always been places of pilgrimage. Our group decided to visit those places, the ancient city of Abiverd and the mausoleum of Sandykly Baba. Early in the morning, a bus with tourists left the city, heading for Tejen. It was dark and quiet in the bus, many tourists were dozing, and the bus was driving us further and further away from home. We made our first stop in Dushak. Then we saw the familiar blue gate! A guide Abdurahman Eserov greeted us there and invited to the room, where members of the international expedition that had conducted archaeological excavations in the ancient city that had existed in the 11th century were depicted on the wall. The people from different nationalities, French, German, British, Italian, Chinese and Russian, worked there. Everything they found became exhibits of the State Museum of the State Cultural Centre of Turkmenistan.

A voucher to the whole family for a trip to Avaza

In summer, during vacations and children’s holidays, many face a choice: where to go and relax, gain strength and impressions and improve their health? And, of course, the best vacation for the whole family is on the Turkmen coast of the Caspian Sea in the Avaza national tourism zone, where excellent conditions have been created for a comfortable and healthy rest. It should be noted that sea bathing has a great hardening effect. In this case, the body is complexly influenced by temperature, the chemical composition of water, the shock of waves and clean air free from dust and microbes. Besides, sea air contains more moisture, ozone, microscopic salt crystals and phytoncides. Salts of minerals (sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium and others) and also trace elements (iodine, bromine, etc.), contained in sea water, are absorbed through the skin, affecting the activity of the nervous system and metabolism. And, of course, rest on the seashore, a picturesque landscape, sparkling water in the sun, the sound of waves and a light breeze will help “throw off” the fatigue accumulated over the year, be recharged with energy for the coming months and create a calm and joyful mood.
