A description of a meaningful life

Our people have always attached great importance to the upbringing of children. This fact is obvious when people read the Turkmen proverbs, sayings, poetic folklore, legends, and parables. The book ‘Ömrümiň manysy’ by our Hero-Arkadag Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, who adheres to national principles and values in this valuable work, is of great importance in this context. The book’s first chapter ‘The Culture of Being’ is dedicated to education. The early choice of a profession, while the children are still at secondary school, makes this issue one of the great tasks facing the teachers and awakes interest in the book. Our Hero-Arkadag writes that a child's career begins with a mother. This fact takes the readers on a journey to the epicentre of folk art, called lullaby.

Sports obtain a great impulse

National sports obtain a great impulse and reach the qualitatively new levels in the modern epoch. Independent, permanently neutral Turkmenistan confidently strengthens its position as a sports power and a venue for large international and regional events. The mass physical culture and health movement, high-level sports and the principles of a healthy lifestyle are actively developed in our country thanks to the far-sighted policy put forward by the President of Turkmenistan. The V Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games, which were successfully held in Ashgabat in 2017, the Amul – Hazar international rally and the World Weightlifting Championships, which our country hosted in 2018, are among the most impressive achievements of Turkmenistan in the field of sports.

Russian edition of new book

The presentation ceremony of the Russian edition of the book ‘Ömrümiň manysy’ by the Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty of the Milli Gengesh of Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov was held in the conference hall of the Institute of International Relations of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Turkmenistan on May 17. The ceremony was attended by the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry’s officials, heads of international organizations and foreign missions in Turkmenistan, rectors of the institutions of higher education, professors, students and representatives of the mass media.

The basis of education

Along with different sports, special attention is attached to the Turkmen national games in our epoch. Our ancestors added the national principles, traditions, customs, as well as national games to the treasury of the world culture. The national games created by our ancestors have played an important role in the physical and mental development of the people and have preserved their importance at all times. The Turkmen people have always paid special attention to the upbringing of children and their development as many-sided individuals. The concern of the President of Turkmenistan for children is the pride of every parent. The living standards of our people are excellent. The upbringing of children should be perfect. In their turn, national games form the basis of education.

An environmentally friendly mode of transport

The UN General Assembly adopted the Resolution ‘Integration of mainstream bicycling into public transportation systems for sustainable development’ at the 61st plenary meeting of its 76th Session at the initiative of the President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhammedov on March 15 this year. This document became an important step in the struggle against climate change and demonstrated that Turkmenistan promotes sports and ecological diplomacy as the keys to achieving sustainable development. The document proposes to use bicycles as public transport in urban and rural areas of developed and developing countries to increase traffic safety, to promote the use of bicycles by the population, as well as businesses to reduce emissions. The United Nations encourages international, regional, national, and local development programmes to focus on cycling services and other related initiatives, to stimulate civil society, the private sector, the scientific community, and other institutions to use bicycles.

Advantages of basketball

Basketball requires a variety of movements, including in running, jumping, and ball-throwing techniques, keeps all the muscle groups active during the game and helps make them stronger. This sport strengthens the vestibular apparatus, improves coordination of movements and speed. Basketball increases the body's endurance. It has a positive effect on the immune system. Basketball improves the respiratory system and increases the capacity of the lungs. It strengthens the cardiovascular and nervous systems.

An inspiring work

The book ‘Ömrümiň manysy’ by our Hero-Arkadag Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov describes the basic moral principles and norms. They are important today and evidence the fact that our ancestors' traditions and principles are still cherished. In the preface to the book, the author – Honorary Elder of the People Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov emphasizes that everyone has to think about the past and the future. The book consists of six chapters entitled ‘The Culture of Being’, ‘The Word about Faith’, ‘Primordial Principles Rooted in the Depths of Millennia’, ‘A Backward Look’, ‘Pilgrimage to the Holy Mecca and Medina’, and ‘The Spiritual and Moral School of the Nation’. Respecting the noble spiritual values of our ancestors, our Arkadag Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov analysed, summarized and systematized the available historical sources and information.

Published in the year, which is being held under the motto ‘the Era of the People with Arkadag’, the work highlights great achievements of independent, permanently neutral Turkmenistan, important events in the history and life of our country, and the career of the Turkmen leader, dedicated to serving our beloved Motherland and people.

Bowling is a useful sport

Bowling, as well as other sports, stimulates human body, improves blood circulation and has a positive effect on all organs and systems. The game helps boost immunity. It strengthens the leg muscles. The office workers say that their feet feel better after this game. Experts note that bowling strengthens the leg and abdominal muscles.

Benefits of physical exercises

The morning physical exercises in all nursery schools of our country demonstrate that the younger generations take the first steps towards following a healthy lifestyle. Physical exercises before breakfast play an important role in improving the child's blood circulation and in developing body parts. Thus, while performing exercises, it is important to hold the upright position of the body and to do them completely and correctly. Children should start exercising with a quick walking and a light running on the spot. Exercises for the hands include moving them straight forward, up, sideways, and down.

Table tennis

Table tennis is one of the most popular sports in the world. It is more developed in Asian countries, especially in China and Korea. Table tennis is a sport that can be played by two players or teams. This game is also called ping-pong. This name does not have much meaning; it just reminds the sounds when the racket hits the ball. The game is played on the table (76 centimetres – height, 274 centimetres – length), by hitting the ball back and forth across the net using small solid rackets and following the relevant rules.

Turkmenistan is a sports power

The participation of the Turkmen athletes in large international events reflects the sports achievements and the success of the sports policy put forward by the President of Turkmenistan. Our compatriots win different prizes, including in gold medals, at these events. Large-scale investments are being made for the development of the sports system, and new scientific achievements and advanced technologies are introduced into the system. Multifunctional stadiums, sports complexes and specialized sports schools have been built in the cities and villages of our country. The construction of gyms, football, basketball, volleyball and tennis courts, and swimming pools in secondary and pre-school institutions form the basis for doing sports in our country.

Ashgabat is a blossoming garden

As was noted at the online meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers on April 22, Deputy Secretary-General of the UN, Executive Secretary of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) announced that Ashgabat was awarded the Certificate of Gratitude in recognition for the pledge to the Trees in Cities Challenge. This good news has greatly inspired our compatriots. The good news from the Permanent Mission of Turkmenistan to the United Nations Office in Geneva demonstrated that special attention is paid to the state policy of the country in the field of environmental protection, conservation and biodiversity.

New qualification criteria for swimmers

The International Swimming Federation has released the qualification criteria and the qualifying events schedule for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. The qualification criteria are slightly different from those of the previous Games.

Inspiring news

The United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) awarded the Certificate of Gratitude to Ashgabat in recognition for the pledge to the Trees in Cities Challenge. This good news has greatly inspired our compatriots. As is known, the tree planting campaigns have special importance in human life. In this context, the selection of sustainable species of trees for this region of the country ensures that the work is effective. At the same time, the planting of orchards enhances the beauty of our country and ensures the abundance of fruits. It is necessary to plant fruit trees and grapes along with coniferous trees during the mass tree planting season. Thus, forest zones are being formed around the cities and villages in our country. At the same time, the active use of scientific achievements and water-saving technologies is very beneficial in terms of both economy and ecology.

A gift from heaven

The Turkmen people have long cherished their horses, saying, ‘I will not call you a horse, I will call you a brother’. This kindness means that the attitude of the Turkmen people towards the horses is rooted in the patriotic feelings. The love and respect of the Turkmen people for horses is based on ancient national principles. These principles are rooted in divine love. Our ancestors used to say, ‘a horse is an aim’, ‘when you wake up in the morning, see your father first, and then see your horse’, ‘where there is a horse, there will be a holiday’, as well as ‘a girl-like horse’, ‘a bride-like horse’. These descriptive phrases demonstrate the attitude of our ancestors.

Absent is a world-famous horse

Absent is a horse that has left an indelible mark in the history of the Olympic Games. This beautiful black horse was born in 1952 in Taraz (former Jambyl), Kazakhstan. The genealogy of the horse originates from the unique horses that have been bred for millennia on the Turkmen soil. Born from the horses Arab and Bakkara, Absent was descended from the famous horse Boynav (born in 1885). In 1955–1968, Absent left a significant mark in equestrian sports. At the Exhibition of Achievements of National Economy in Moscow in 1958, Absent was awarded a Level I Certificate for beauty among the Ahalteke horses. Absent took second place in the 1958 European Show Jumping Championships in Aachen, Germany. A year later, the horse won a gold medal at the Spartakiad of the Peoples of the USSR and the title of champion of the USSR.

Modern sports facilities

Excellent conditions are created for the education of physically and mentally healthy generations in our country. The modern facilities built in different corners of the country are of great importance in encouraging young people to do physical culture and sports. The modern infrastructure projects in the capital and in the Velayat centres ensure excellent conditions for the residents to do sports and to follow the principles of a healthy lifestyle. The Olympic Village in the capital, the sports complex in the Avaza National Tourist Zone, the sports facilities in the Velayat centres and Etraps demonstrate this fact.

The values of the Turkmen people

The Ahalteke horses are one of the sacred, world-famous, and glorious values of the Turkmen people. This truth is reflected in the fact that the horse is depicted in the center of the State Emblem of Turkmenistan. Thus, the glory of the Ahalteke horses has been passed down from generation to generation for centuries. The history of our ‘heavenly’ horses has a worthy place in the national literature and in the works of other peoples. Besides other features of the Turkmen horses, they provide a lot of information on their beauty, endurance and strength.

The youth on the way to perfection

Impressive work is underway in the field of education and youth policy, as well as in other spheres in our independent, permanently neutral Motherland. To date, young patriotic, honest, well-educated and skilful professionals are the guarantors of a happy future for our country. Thus, the laws, decrees, and special programmes, including in the Foreign Languages Teaching Concept, related to science and education, have been adopted in Turkmenistan. The foreign languages become more important in the revival of the new epoch of the powerful state, when the economic potential of our country grows and international cooperation expands. This fact demonstrates that languages represent an important part of understanding, move beyond the role of communication and make rapid progress. Turkmen State Architecture and Construction Institute conducts effective work to prepare physically and mentally healthy, skilful young professionals.
