Celebrations on the occasion of Gurban bayramy have covered all corners of our country. The events that unfolded, including in the Turkmen capital of Ashgabat and in the city of Arkadag, were vivid evidence of the deep reverence of this sacred holiday by our people. Gurban bayramy has increased the spirit of celebration and solidarity of the Turkmen people. This was another clear confirmation of the inviolability of the centuries-old traditions of our ancestors, which are carefully preserved in the modern epoch.

In this regard, it should be noted that the first day of Gurban bayramy was greeted with great enthusiasm by our happy people. The festive prayers, which gathered a large number of believers in the early morning in various parts of the country, as well as in white marble Ashgabat and the city of Arkadag, once again demonstrated the unity and unity of the Turkmen people living a happy life in a prosperous state.

The celebration of Gurban bayramy clearly demonstrates that in the era of the Rebirth of a new era of a powerful state, thanks to the efforts of Hero-Arkadag and Arkadagly Hero Serdar, the noble principles and foundations that have come down to us through the centuries receive worthy continuity. At the same time, it is gratifying to note that taking care of the proper observance by our people of national traditions and customs, as well as filling every day of Gurban bayramy with unforgettable events, has become one of the priorities of the socially oriented state policy pursued by the President of Turkmenistan.

As President Serdar Berdimuhamedov noted in his congratulatory Message to the people on the occasion of Gurban bayramy, meaningful, bright and colourful musical and song celebrations, cultural events are held in all regions of the beloved Motherland during the holidays. Gurbanlyk-sadaka is given, and abundant sachaks with festive treats are served in every family. Prayers and good wishes for peace, well-being and prosperity of the Motherland are offered.

Today, measures are being taken in our country to ensure the spiritual health and moral perfection of society. At the same time, all conditions are being created for pilgrimages to holy places. Currently, thousands of our compatriots are in the holy cities of the Islamic world, where they perform the Hajj. This is a clear confirmation that every day of this year, marked by the 35^th anniversary of the sacred independence of the Motherland, is filled with glorious events.

All this also demonstrates that the national customs of our people, which originated in the depths of centuries and are always committed to the principles of peace, friendship and humanism, have now found a worthy continuation. At the same time, it should be noted that the Turkmen people, faithful to the spiritual values of their wise ancestors, continue the noble traditions of their ancestors.

The celebrations on the occasion of Gurban bayramy continued with bright musical and song performances, which unfolded next to the installed high swings. The joyful laughter and enthusiasm of the youth give a special flavour to festive events.

Humanism and benevolence are national character traits that have been invariably inherent in the Turkmen people for centuries. That is why our people celebrate Gurban bayramy, filled with best wishes and bright hopes for a wonderful future.

This holiday further strengthens faith in the best, while the high spirit and creativity of our people contribute to the achievement of lofty goals. According to tradition, on this day, after the festive prayer, people visit relatives and friends and, wishing everyone peace and prosperity, pray for acceptance of the God of gurbanlyk-sadaka.
