Today, on behalf of the President of Turkmenistan, the opening of the next stage of the Myalikguly Berdimuhamedov cottage complex of the Ministry of Internal Affairs took place in the residential area of Choganly, where the creation of a new urban zone continues.

One of the key aspects of the policy pursued by President Serdar Berdimuhamedov is the provision of comfortable housing for Turkmen people that meets modern quality standards. Thousands of families have become owners of comfortable cottages and apartments in magnificent high-rise buildings. Numerous housewarming parties are a visible symbol of the modern epoch, embodying the triumph of socially oriented state policy.

...On the occasion of the festivity, on the territory of the facility, an upbeat atmosphere reigns in the morning. The invariable participants of national celebrations – riders on magnificent Akhal-Teke horses – lined up along the road leading to the main entrance of the complex. Caravans of camels loaded with huge bales pass nearby, allowing those present at the ceremony to plunge into the distant past, when such a method of delivering various goods was the only possible one, along winding routes, which our ancestors generically called the Great Silk Road. Currently, this path is being revived in the name of universal progress.

There are also improvised fortresses and caravanserais, an oriental bazaar is spread out, where brisk touts-sellers compete with each other, praising their goods, exchanging witty jokes, trying to win the attention of buyers. Everywhere one can hear music, cheers, and laughter.

Heads of military and law enforcement agencies, elders and gray-haired mothers, representatives of public organizations and the media gathered at the ceremony venue.

Along the road leading to the venue of the ceremony, ornately decorated yurts are installed, large cauldrons are smoking, spreading pleasant aromas, folk tunes are heard, emphasizing the atmosphere of a large Turkmen toy. Each such yurt became the scene of a mini-performance, the action of which unfolded both inside the traditionally decorated dwelling and outside, where women, comfortably sitting on the couches, prepare national dishes and sweets. Nearby, craftswomen are engaged in needlework, embroidering outfits, skullcaps, weaving carpets, lying around. Everything is like in the real life of an ancient Turkmen village, which invariably appeared on the most active trade routes.

The real decoration of the festive event was a staged Turkmen wedding, which was always accompanied by colorful rituals that became an integral part of the way of life of the Turkmen people, committed to their spiritual and cultural roots and ancestral family values.

Along with the detailed recreated theatrical rituals, songs are sung everywhere – folk songs that have come to us from the depths of centuries, and modern pop songs. There are wishes for the prosperity and well-being of the beloved Homeland and the entire Turkmen people, for sending good health to President Serdar Berdimuhamedov and Chairman of the Halk Maslakhaty, the National Leader of the Turkmen people, Hero-Arkadag Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov for many years to come.

Nearby, children enthusiastically play children’s folk games, including the ancient national game – alchik, as well as “tanap çekdi”, and etc.

Two palvan wrestlers compete for the main prize, which, according to the ancient Turkmen custom, is awarded to the winner. The young athletes demonstrated their valiant prowess and dexterity in the “ýaglyga towusmak” competition. In a word, a real folk festival unfolded here with all its inherent traditions and fun. 

It should be noted that among the speakers at the concert and sports competitions were representatives of law enforcement agencies.

The numerous rituals and customs associated with the holding of folk festivals, toys, are deep in their essence. National songs and music, dances, games and amusements, generosity of the Turkmen sachak, the art of horse breeding and dog breeding – all these are facets of our rich culture.

On the improvised central stage, joint performances of the song and music collective of the servicemen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Defense, theater artists and the State Dance Ensemble unfold.

The participants of the celebration are heading to the administration building of the complex to the monument to the veteran of the internal affairs bodies Myalikguly Berdimuhamedov, where they paid tribute to the grandfather of the President of Turkmenistan.

After going inside the building, where the museum of Myalikguly Berdimuhamedov is equipped, they got acquainted with its exhibits – archival materials, copies of various documents, certificates, including state awards, military ranks, and photographs.

There is also an exhibition of vegetables and fruits, food products that are produced in the subsidiary farms of military and law enforcement agencies in all regions of the country.

Then the celebrations continued near the festive arch on the way to the houses, where the honorary elders cut the ribbon to the stormy applause of the audience, which symbolizes the opening of the next stage of the Myalikguly Berdimuhamedov cottage complex of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which has become another clear example of the successful implementation of the creative policy of the head of Turkmenistan.

The construction of houses commissioned by the Ministry of Internal Affairs is carried out by a subordinate construction company. Thanks to effective measures of state support, representatives of domestic business structures actively participate in the implementation of large-scale socio-economic programs for integrated industrialization, balanced development of regions, creation of modern transport infrastructure, increasing the production of import-substituting and export products, housing construction, etc. Effectively mastering and applying the world achievements of the construction industry in the design and construction of large facilities for various purposes, Turkmen enterprises and firms – both public and private – successfully compete with foreign companies.

The state is a state only with the people!”.

The participants of the ceremony visited one of the houses, where they got acquainted with its arrangement and living conditions. The new settlers addressed Arkadagly Serdar and the National Leader of the Turkmen people with warm gratitude for the tireless care of the people, the creation of all conditions for work and life.

Increased comfort and improved layout of new housing are combined here with a high degree of environmental friendliness and durability of buildings. High-quality building materials made from local raw materials were used during the construction of cottages.

A residential house of this type is completely autonomous: it is supplied with individual heating (boilers that supply hot water not only for heating, but also for household needs), equipped with a split system for air conditioning, necessary household gas, electric appliances and other life support systems, connected to IP television, Internet and telephone.

It should be noted that the surrounding area is well-furnished and landscaped. Here, along the streets and next to the houses, shady trees are planted, which contributes to maintaining a favorable ecological situation. All this together creates good conditions for fruitful work and full-fledged leisure of people.

Presenting memorable gifts on behalf of the President of Turkmenistan, the participants of the celebration wished the new settlers a long and happy life.

White marble Ashgabat, having turned into one of the most beautiful and comfortable cities in the world, expands its borders from year to year and grows with new residential areas and other social facilities. Literally every day is marked by new evidence of the energetic work that is being carried out on our grandiose construction site, which has declared the whole Homeland with its dynamic rhythms. A reliable foundation is being laid for the future of the Homeland.

Today’s grand opening of the next stage of the Myalikguly Berdimuhamedov cottage complex of the Ministry of Internal Affairs testifies to the enormous successes of our country, those achievements in various areas of state and public life aimed at improving the welfare and quality of life of our people.

The scope of all these transformations corresponds to the great goals set by the President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov in the era of the Revival of a new epoch of a powerful state – to become an even more prosperous, highly developed strong state, whose main guideline is the well-being of the people.
