A Significant Landmark in the Life of the Country

February 12 is a significant date in the life of the Turkmen state and our people. It takes a special place in the modern history of our country – this is the fateful day of the election of President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov. On February 12, 2012, the people of Turkmenistan made a crucial decision and, using their constitutional right, expressed their will and unanimously elected the head of state. On February 12, 2017, we confirmed our adherence to this choice with all responsibility towards the future by giving again our votes for the leader of the nation and entrusting him with the presidency for the next 7 years.

Based on Constructive Development

The results of the meeting of the leadership of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Turkmenistan with the delegation of the Political Office of the Taliban Movement, held in Ashgabat on February 6, caused great public, political and international resonance. They once again confirm the indisputable fact that the basis for the strengthening and further development of the modern architecture of international relations is nothing more than peace and trust. The history of relations between two neighbouring peoples, united by common traditions, customs, culture and spiritual and moral values, is known to take its origins from the depths of centuries. Being a neutral state, Turkmenistan has been actively pursuing a policy of peace and open doors for nearly thirty years, aimed at cooperation with neighbouring countries, both in the interests of the region and entire humanity. At the same time, our country is a supporter of ensuring peace, security and sustainable development in Afghanistan, initiating an exclusively peaceful resolution of intra-Afghan problems on the basis of political means and a broad national dialogue.

Along the way to “Green” economy

The adoption of the State Programme of Energy Saving for 2018–2024 and accession to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) testifies to our country’s commitment to the development of renewable energy and the growth in energy efficiency in line with the Sustainable Development Goals. The next step along this path was the adoption of the National Strategy for Renewable Energy Development in Turkmenistan until 2030, which was approved by the Decree of President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov in December 2020. At the request of the editorial board of NT, the topicality, goals and objectives of the Strategy were commented on by experts in the sphere of studying the use of renewable energy sources.

Peace and Trust – the Foundations for the Wellbeing of the Nation

It has become a good tradition in our neutral independent state to give an inspiring motto to each year. The motto of the year 2021 is “Turkmenistan – the Home of Peace and Trust”. Its ideological message is to promote widely the achievements of the Motherland, to spotlight their significance, to give impetus to large-scale economic transformations and social progress, to propagandise the contribution of our country to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, ensuring health, peace and stability and implementing the initiatives of the leader of the Turkmen state. The year 2021 abounds with inspiring events, such as further socioeconomic growth, drastic reforms in the agroindustrial sector and construction of facilities, the opening of which will mark the 30th anniversary of independence of the Motherland.

A Life-Giving Source

Since ancient times, the secrets of human self-knowledge have been embodied in the figurative perception of objects of the surrounding world. The very possibility of survival was of great importance for the people living in the desert, for which they needed water. They extracted moisture from the well, each drop of which was like a grain of gold, and the well was more than an object, it was a life-giving and spiritual source. For example, kumli, the people of the sands, tried to expand the horizons of their idea of the multifaceted and wise values of life. Yesterday, today and tomorrow – this creative link of people with the world they inhabit is and will be the essential element of the world outlook culture of human civilisation. The manmade well in the sea of loose sands not only symbolises life, but also serves as a spiritualised symbol of purity and harmony. The figurative language of the ancient people says, “The value of a well is not only water, because a river is not always needed to quench a thirst”. It is about the spiritual component. A deep source of cool water, as an invaluable metaphorical image, embodies the all-encompassing manifestation of life at the level of an individual, society and state.

A small Universe accomodating happiness

This folding house is one of the unique achievements of the Central Asian peoples. Its structure as a whole is the same, but the originality of each of them is manifested in the features of the external and internal design. Often decorated with felt and woven products, embroidery and artistic carvings, the yurt for the Turkmen was not just a dwelling, but something larger. The mobile assembled yurt ideally corresponded to the basic principle of nomadic life: it is a camp house – “All that is mine I carry with me.”

Healing Properties of Liquorice Root

Over many centuries, the Turkmen people have been using the plants to restore and improve their health. Their healing properties have become known through the centuries-old expertise and observations of our ancestors. President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov described in detail the natural resources of our country in 12 volumes of the encyclopaedia Medicinal Plants of Turkmenistan. One of them is liquorice, buyan in Turkmen. The Turkmen leader pays great attention to using medicinal plants, in particular the therapeutic and prophylactic effect of medicines from liquorice root, in modern medicine. The national leader calls upon health professionals to take a science-based approach to using medicinal plants, including those that grow in the territory of the country and deserve in-depth research. Particularly now, when scientists in all countries are using effective means of combating the new dangerous infection and conducting numerous studies. The leader of the nation believes liquorice root to be one of them.

Peace, trust, responsibility

In the context of globalisation, which covers not only the economy, but also the political, cultural, educational, information and communication spheres, the issues of trust and responsibility for the peaceful coexistence of states and peoples have acquired a worldwide character. As the practice of international relations shows, first of all, it is mistrust that gives rise to instability and uncertainty in many situations, the consequences of which can affect all aspects of the life of countries and peoples. In this regard, a state policy based on universal trust, openness and responsibility becomes significant. In this, the International Year of Peace and Trust has an important role to play. This initiative is known to have come from our country. And Turkmenistan has all the authority to do this, since it is recognised by the world community as an active supporter of peace, security and sustainable development. This is eloquently confirmed by such facts as non-alignment with any political, economic or military alliances and blocs. But at the same time, Turkmenistan, being a member of international and regional organisations, is successfully building relations both in bilateral and multilateral formats.
