In support of the earth water resources An online presentation of the UN World Water Development Report for 2023 was broadcast for our region by the UNESCO Cluster Office in Almaty, Kazakhstan, with the assistance of the Central Asian Regional Water Network (Сar@wan) that seeks to unite stakeholders, to promote the principles of integrated water management and to create a scientific and information platform.

Until 2012, the Report was issued every three years, then, based on the global survey results, the UN-Water mechanism participants decided to change the reporting frequency to an annual one. Specialists, scientists, builders and hydraulic engineers, environmentalists and climatologists study the report findings on a global scale and in their regions.

Festival of Happy Childhood

Summer Holiday Season Starts at Recreation Centres throughout the Country Schoolchildren from all over the country gathered in the square in front of the Palace of Children and Youth in the capital of Turkmenistan to go on summer holidays to the recreation centres in Geokdere located at the picturesque foothills of the Kopetdag Mountains.

Welcoming Sum­mer

A particularly long-awaited time for schoolchildren is approaching – the beginning of the summer season at children’s health centres, of which there are about thirty in our country in total. Most of them are located near Ashgabat: in the unique natural health resort Geokdere in a kind of “bowl” formed by the foothills of the Kopetdag Mountains, eight - on the Caspian coast, in Avaza and Hazar, and the remaining five - in the velayats. The readiness of all children’s health resorts for the beginning of the summer season is known to have been discussed at a sitting of the Cabinet of Ministers of Turkmenistan, held last Friday in a digital format. It was emphasised that owing to the tireless care of President Serdar Berdimuhamedov for the younger generation, children in our country lived a happy life. Every year during the summer vacation season, they can fully relax and strengthen their health at health centres in various parts of our country, where targeted events, aimed at the harmonious development of children, the identification and disclosure of their multifaceted talents and capabilities, are traditionally held.

Maternal Love — Eternal Light

Maternal love is like eternal light which enlightens her children’s lives in her absence as well. So if love of mothers has such power it results in that it is something, which is rather complicated to define it. Actually, when the talk is about love, I remember an English proverb: «Love is blind». Here meaning of «love» is not only maternal, but in abstract manner. As someone falls in love with someone, he or she sees her/him as an ideal one. Because love has such kind of power. It «covers» your eyes and you are unable to see her/his shortcomings rather than only good manners. As they say, love is something, which is almost impossible to explain what actually it is. When it comes to love of mothers, it gets more difficult to explain the meaning of it since love among people can burn out one day but maternal love never.

Contribution of Turkmen Writers and Poets to the Victory Day

The President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov:— Victory Day is a day that promotes peace-loving, friendship, and solidarity views of mankind, and celebrates high feelings of patriotism and humanitarianism in generations. Patriotism has always been the core theme of the Turkmen literature. The idea of defending the Fatherland runs all through the epic «Gorogly» which was a kind of people’s ethic rules and demands. That’s why before the battle Gorogly, the main hero of this epic addressing his young warriors says:

Our Basic Law

The Constitution is the political and legal basis for the development of society at every historical stage. This year we are celebrating the 31st anniversary of the adoption of the Constitution of Turkmenistan. Much has changed in the life of our society and state over the years. The Constitution of independent Turkmenistan was adopted on May 18, 1992. This date is included in the calendar of public holidays as the Day of the Constitution of Turkmenistan and the State Flag of Turkmenistan. The Constitution is the Basic Law of the country. It was adopted during the transitional period of the formation of an independent and sovereign state. The Constitution has proved its viability and relevance and has made a significant contribution to the stability of the domestic political and economic situation. Domestic experience shows that the Constitution of Turkmenistan is a result of the unity of the people and political consent. Being a legal phenomenon, defining the foundations for the organisation and functioning of public authorities and interaction between society and the state, it is a necessary political and legal instrument that reflects its model of the constitutional structure and other vital issues of state and social construction. The Constitution today secures the achieved level of public relations.

At any time of the year, visitors to the seaside are pleased with the purity of colours of hotels, engineering structures and amusement parks, unique in their architectural solutions, their design and green attire, including the vast forest belts of the international centre for recreation and tourism. In accordance with modern park technologies, gardeners thin out bushy plants, form trimmed crowns of trees and plant bright flowers along sidewalks and on median strips of roads. All streets, including the magnificent embankment of Arkadag Shayoly, can attract the attention of our compatriots and foreign guests with their beauty and standard neatness.
