The title words are cited from the book Worshipping Mother – Worshipping a Sacred Person by the National Leader of the Turkmen people, Chairman of Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov. They were remembered again in connection with the sad news that Ogulabat eje, the mother of our wise Hero-Arkadag and grandmother of President Serdar Berdimuhamedov, passed away in the holy month of Ramadan at the age of 86. The loss of a beloved, dear, closest person at any age is the hardest grief. In these mournful days, all citizens of Turkmenistan are extending their sincere condolences and their words of sympathy and support to them.

Mother… This is the dearest word in the world. Mother… There is everything in this word: tenderness, kindness, love and care. It sounds in different beautiful melodies, including lullabies. It contains sleepless nights and endless excitement. Mother is a symbol of boundless love and life. Mother gives each of her children a piece of herself, her soul. She wishes him happiness and a cloudless fate.
