Ibn Sina — the great Scientist of the East

In the Middle Ages (more precisely, in the VIII-X centuries), very favourable conditions for the development of science were created in Central Asia, because at that time, schools, madrasahs and libraries were established in important cultural-scientific centres such as Nissa, Merv, Amul, Urgench (Khorezm), Bukhara, Samarkand. Our Hero Arkadag Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov wrote in his book «Turkmenistan — the Heart of the Great Silk Road»: «In the middle of the 8th century Central Asia became part of the Arab Caliphate. Arab culture flourished during that time. A large number of books have been translated and are gradually being made available to the general public. There were oral versions of the stories in those books. Accordingly, trade and cultural relations were strengthened». (Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov. «Turkmenistan — the Heart of the Great Silk Road».

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.

She will live Forever in our Hearts

The Turkmen people accepted the death of Ogulabat Berdimuhamedova, the mother of the National Leader of the Turkmen people, of our Hero Arkadag,  the grandmother of our Esteemed President Serdar Berdimuhamedov,  with great sadness. This person, who embodies the holiness of the mother, was an inexhaustible gift to the life of our people and an inexhaustible love to their hearts. She, who only wanted good for her country, had good qualities, who was an example to women and girls throughout her life, will live forever in our hearts and minds as a model of statehood and noble humanity. As it is known, we believe that there is always the wisdom of the Almighty in the blessed month of Ramadan. There must be some wisdom in the fact that our sister-in-law, like Malikguly Aga, moved the ruler of the months to eternity in this blessed month. They were the chosen servants of the Almighty, the bestowers of goodness. The people regarded these people as saints, and their grown-up sons are accepted them as their Heroes, national, and Heads of state. Our great mother gave to the Turkmen country honourable children who will be the head of the state and bring together the nation in a great nation without neglecting such qualities as contentment, statesmanship, noble humanity, love for the fatherland, loyalty to the family hearth. In addition, she became an exemplary guide for the futur

The secret of ancient Nisa

On the political map of the ancient world, the historical province called Parthia was located in South Turkmenistan. The Great Parthian kingdom was later formed on its basis. This state later consolidated a large geographical area and competed with Ancient Rome. Parthia is known to have had different capital cities at different times. But Nisaya has always been Parthia's «sallanchag» - the city where the state was founded, its spiritual and historical capital. It was one of the most powerful states that shook the ancient world. It was founded in Parthia, one of the satrapies (provinces) of the Seleucid State in 247 BC by Arsak I, the head of the Parn tribe and his brother Tridatus. Parthia lived for almost 500 years and it fell in 224 AD and disappeared from the scene of history. Over the centuries, information about him has faded. According to this, there are different views in science about the foundation of Parthia, the exact dates of its origin and trial, and the origin of the Arsaki dynasty.
