To Promote the Development of Agricultural Production

A meeting of the working group of the participants of the regional project of the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO), which is being implemented in Turkmenistan with the coordination of the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment Protection, has been held recently on the basis of the National Institute of Deserts, Flora and Fauna. In order to discuss the positions held and to present the planned events for the current year, the meeting was attended by senior officials of structural divisions of the agro-ecological ministry, including the Committee for Hydrometeorology of Turkmenistan, and also specialists from the Mejlis of Turkmenistan and the State Committee for Water Resources. The project is called “Integrated Natural Resources Management in Drought-Prone and Salt-Affected Agricultural Production Systems in Central Asia and Turkey” (CACILM-2). Its goal is to restore the fertility of agricultural lands and to increase the productivity of natural pastures in different agro-ecological regions of the country – mountains, desert and river oasis. It is planned to introduce advanced methods of desalinisation of irrigated soils, increase in their harvests and return of degraded pastures of the Karakum Desert to circulation by sowing seeds of high-yield psammophytes – white and black saxaul, Calligonum, Salsola richteri, Astragalus and other woody plants.

Forward - to New Victories!

The sports movement of our country in the Era of Might and Happiness has gained unprecedented development. And not only on the national, but also on a global scale. Turkmenistan is increasingly becoming the centre of major planetary and regional competitions, bringing together thousands of professional athletes from all continents under the banner of the sport – the main envoy of peace and friendship. Such active development, of course, has influenced the growth of the skills of the Turkmen athletes, who achieve impressive successes in most kinds of sports. And all this is directly connected with the name of our President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov – an active adherent to a healthy lifestyle, whose initiatives in a relatively short period of time have elevated Turkmenistan to the rank of one of the world’s leading sports powers. The leader of the nation himself sets an example for our youth, finding in his busy schedule time for hiking and horse riding in mountainous areas, cycling and car racing. Such actions inspire young people for doing sports, and all the necessary conditions have been created for this.

Turkmen national dish: Unash

Traditionally, unash, one of the popular Turkmen national dishes is a noodle soup which is made of thin Turkmen macaroni. It is a good meal for digestion and its preparation is simple, and moreover, it is often cooked in our homes because it is loved by adults and children too. Among our people, different types of unash are prepared, such as flavored unash, unflavored unash, unash with beans. Chicken soup is a good digestive, appetizing, relieving pneumonia in the lungs, improving the condition of the bones, connective tissues and having a positive effect on the nervous system and strengthening the body's resistance to various diseases. Today, different types of unash products are also produced in industrial enterprises of the country. Among Turkmens, if someone says «I’m cold» or «I have caught a cold», it is immediately said: «Have unash with pepper, and sleep for awhile. You will recover from your disease immediately». There is no Turkmen woman who cannot cook unash with medicinal effect which has been known since ancient times. The unanimity of our parents in mastering the Turkmen cuisine is not only at the level of taste, but also as a unique remedy for the flu, cold, and fatigue. When this dish is cooked, its dough is first made only with water and salt, and sometimes with a single egg. The reason for adding enough salt to the dough is that it has a positive effect on i

Transport diplomacy: Cooperation for Sustainable Diplomacy

In the context of the integration of all aspects of the life of states and peoples, the transport and communication sector is recognised as an integral factor of sustainable development, directly influencing the growth of states’ economies and the quality of life of the population, stability and balance of world economic relations.

Import substitution programme: Achievements and Prospects

In the context of modern foreign economic trends, President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov sets a goal of raising competitiveness of the national economy and lessening its dependence on external factors. The import substitution programme was developed on the initiative of the leader of the nation. In accordance with this programme, the country is successfully fulfilling the tasks of expanding import substitution production and manufacturing the products able to compete with their imported analogues. Turkmenistan aims its active import substitution strategy at optimising foreign trade turnover, building up the capacity of non-primary commodity sectors, modernising technological facilities and bringing domestically made products in line with international standards. All this facilitates the successful integration of the national economy into the system of world economic relations and its sustainable growth. Currently, in conditions of the global epidemic, stability and independence of national economies from other countries and enhanced competitiveness of domestic enterprises are of great importance. The most effective and priority options for national economic development include the implementation of the import substitution strategy.

Rules for staying healthy

Often, the cold season and constant changes in the weather are accompanied by colds and acute respiratory diseases. The reason is that many people forget about basic precautions, dressing lightly, neglecting personal hygiene and not giving the body proper rest. The observance of basic rules will help prevent the disease and stop its development. However, first let’s figure out how the disease begins. The penetration of the causative agent of an infectious disease (viruses or bacteria) into the body of a healthy person is called infection. Sources of an infectious disease, a sick person or a healthy carrier, release microorganisms into the environment, which can enter the body of a healthy person through the air (when sneezing and coughing), things of common use, food and water.

A Precious Gift of Nature

The complex of ecosystems of the Karakum and Kyzylkum Deserts with the exotic landscape of the arid zone and the change of unrepeatable areas of overgrown and mobile dunes, expanses of brackish, rocky, gravelly and clay-loamy soils of arid landscapes leaves an unforgettable impression. For all its seemingly unfriendliness towards travellers, this land is full of original and charming beauty. Anyone who has been there at least once, spent a night under the dome of bright stars in the steppe without electric lighting accompanying the highways and villages, will fall in love with that land forever. Such a person will be attracted by the memories of loose ridges of dunes, pink sunrise, the scorching sun of noon and a long fading sunset, brisk lizards and cheerful birdies of a bright and laced saxaul forest, fragrant herbs, night chirping sounds and a pile of saxaul coals smouldering in the night for a tea tuncha and long stories at the dastarkhan in the expedition bivouac.

The Original Design of the Turkmen Felt Rug

The people, who have preserved the traditions of culture, everyday life and art, always have a fertile soil for the prosperity of professional decorative and applied arts. Over the centuries, in songs, fairy tales, epics, folk festivals, dances and household items, people have tried to express their understanding of life, nature and the world in an artistic form. The ancient skills of hand making of felt carpets are still preserved in many Turkmen villages. To this day, felt rugs remain an integral attribute of the everyday life of any Turkmen family. Since ancient times, the Turkmen have called their house a felt house. Felt covered the yurt, it protected the residents from the sun, wind and moisture, insulated and decorated floor, turned walls into a carpet art gallery. Felt rugs served as blankets for horses and cloaks for shepherds. In the hands of the Turkmen, wool turned into handmade pictures that deserve to be called masterpieces of decorative and applied arts.

It Stands Alone on One of the Kopetdag Rocks

A small white mosque located near the town of Serdar, Balkan velayat, is one of the most revered pilgrimage sites in Turkmenistan. Next to it, one can involuntarily feel some kind of extraordinary energy. Perhaps this is somehow connected with a legend about the origin of the shrine. According to it, Parav-bibi was a beautiful woman who lived in one of the settlements at the foothills of the Kopetdag Mountains. One day, nomads attacked her native village. And, probably, the inhabitants of that village would be destined to the same fate that befell other villages after the conquest by foreigners. However, the leader of the invaders was so blinded by the beauty of the girl that he promised not to destroy the village if they gave Parav-bibi to him in return. Upon learning about that, the beauty fled to the mountains on the same day. She ran as long as she had strength, and pressed herself to the stones with her palms. But the enemies who rushed after her did not retreat. And when she was practically exhausted at a huge rock, in despair she asked the higher powers to hide her somewhere. The Almighty heard the prayers of the beauty and the rock parted in front of the girl, forever hiding her in its stone walls. At that place, people built a mosque.

Tamdyr: Traditions of Baking

The purpose of modern museums is to study, preserve and promote the historical heritage of the Turkmen people, who have centuries-old rich history and culture. The ethnography department of the State Museum of the State Cultural Centre of Turkmenistan has a rich collection of national clothes, jewellery and household items. Since farming was the main economic sector of the Turkmen people, many exhibits tell about the labour of grain growers and associated practices. After reaping a rich harvest, dayhans held special celebrations in honour of this event so that subsequent years would be good for the crops. These centuries-old traditions continue to this day.

Alabay – a Defender and Loyal Friend

The people of Turkmenistan are proud that on August 31, 2020, at the constituent assembly of the Türkmen Alabaý Itleri Association, an important event took place – granting to the Association international status. Through centuries the breed of the Turkmen dog has been improved both by natural and artificial selection. Therefore, for centuries it has retained its original exterior and a beautiful dense constitution, the shape of which has not changed for more than four thousand years. Being not choosy about his food, the alabay is endlessly loyal to its master and is always ready to help. At the genetic level, it absorbed skills of endurance, selfless protection of herds, round-the-clock service and timely warning of enemy approaching. At the same time, the habits of the alabay combine steadiness, kindness and charm. Our country carefully preserves and respects the richest property of centuries. Today, the work on the breeding of the unique Turkmen breed, a loyal friend and human assistant, is organised at a high level. It is in the fearlessness, the willingness to carry out the service and to give life for the sake of saving flock from predators that the deep attachment and gratitude of the Turkmen people to the faithful and friendly Alabay lie.

Effectiveness of use of licorice root infusion in frequently ill children

Children who often suffer from acute respiratory infections (ARI) are an urgent medical and social problem in pediatrics. Phytotherapy plays an important role in the treatment and prophylaxis of ARI in frequently ill children (FIC), in particular, the use of licorice root [6]. The active ingredient of licorice root is glycyrrhizinic acid (GA), which has antiviral, immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory effects [1]. GA is active against DNA and RNA containing viruses, including various strains of viruses Herpes simplex, Varicella zoster, human papillomaviruses, cytomegaloviruses. GA inhibits viruses at concentrations that are non-toxic for normally functioning cells [10, 11, 14]. In this regard, we decided to study the effectiveness of using infusion of licorice root in FIC.
