For the Sake of the Country’s Progress and for the Good of Every Citizen

In the period of the Revival of the New Era of the Powerful State, the socioeconomic policy of Turkmenistan, pursued under the leadership of the respected President Serdar Berdimuhamedov, is aimed at the increase in the welfare and quality of the life of the population, the ensuring of sustainable economic growth, the diversification and competitiveness of the national economy, industrial and innovative development, the strengthening of market and institutional reforms, the growth in investment activity, the strengthening of foreign economic positions, the expansion of international cooperation and the integration of the country into the world economic system and environment protection. The priority factor in the development of the national economy at the present stage is the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals, adopted in 2015 by all UN member states, as a guideline for the long term. These goals address the most important economic, social and environmental issues, and the guiding principle is “leaving no one behind”. The 17 Sustainable Development Goals are comprehensive, interconnected and indivisible and ensure a balance of all three components of sustainable development: economic, social and environmental.

Neutrality is a Model of Creative Humanism

The inexhaustible sources of the creative way of life of our people are commitment to a non-violent way of resolving tense situations and unity based on selfless love for humanity. The thinker of the early 19th century Niyazkuli at-Turkmeni writes, “A kind attitude towards people and wishes for peace are the adornment of any people, where faith in friendship and loyalty in friendship represent the basis of the moral power of the nation.” The neutral path of development is not an indifferent avoidance of emerging contradictions, but an active approach to resolving them, where restraint and non-interference are the conditions for the peaceful resolution of disputes and clashes. This position allows us to lay a strong foundation for peaceful and creative dialogue, where the ability to listen and be heard reigns. It is in this formula of humanism that a strong will and sincere commitment to action is developed for the sake of the peaceful resolution of all disagreements. The wise thinker and humanist poet of the 18th century Dovletmammet Azadi in his treatise Wagzy-Azat writes that confidential and frank dialogue serves for the sake of universal happiness and wellbeing.

With Respect for Folk Traditions

Women’s needlework is a fine and unique art. And if it has stood the test of time, like Turkmen embroidery, then it is the cultural heritage of the people. The skill of hand embroidery is an important part of Turkmen decorative and applied arts, passed down from one generation to another and has survived to this day as an indisputable property of the nation. Embroidered canvases can be called an artistic narrative, telling about the glorious past of the people, the way of life of our ancestors, national traditions and achievements. Like other types of needlework (carpet weaving and felting), embroidery in various ways has been known to the Turkmen for hundreds of years. The variety of patterns and their harmony is a synthesis of long historical development and a result of centuries-old traditions. This is evidenced by archaeological findings and ancient specimens of embroidery kept in the storerooms of state museums and private collections. Therefore, it is necessary to protect the priceless heritage and to study it from a scientific point of view.

New Frontiers of Agricultural Complex

The most important priority of the state policy pursued by President Serdar Berdimuhamedov is the intensive development of the agroindustrial complex, the ensuring of food abundance in the country, the expansion of the export opportunities of the national economy and the strengthening of the economic power of Turkmenistan. Large-scale transformations, aimed at raising the efficiency of agriculture and increasing the volume of the production of various agricultural goods, are being successfully implemented in the agroindustrial complex. As world experience shows, no other product will give the country and its people such wellbeing and the country prosperity, economic activity and progress as agricultural crops. Only the transition of the agricultural economy to market relations can solve all the socioeconomic problems facing any country. And it is not accidental that the most important priority of the economic strategy, pursued by President Serdar Berdimuhamedov, is the active implementation of agricultural reforms, aimed at the diversification of production, the creation of favourable conditions for the agricultural industry, the widespread introduction of market mechanisms and the effective use of scientific achievements in this sphere.

The World Kurash Championships

The physical and spiritual development and education of the younger generation is one of the main directions of the policy of the respected President Serdar Berdimuhamedov. The personal example of Arkadagly Hero Serdar, who is an Honoured Coach of Turkmenistan and the President of the National Olympic Committee of Turkmenistan and his regular participation in mass sports events, organised in our country, inspires the country’s youth to do sports and to follow a healthy lifestyle.

This area of partnership is a subject of interested discussion during foreign visits of the President of Turkmenistan. In this context, the improvement of the sphere of physical culture and sports and the development of the principles of a healthy lifestyle are reflected in the national legislation of Turkmenistan, which is based on the Constitution of Turkmenistan.

Traditional Costume – Heritage of the Turkmen People

The national costume of the Turkmen people, going along a long path of development, is linked closely to the history, traditions and aesthetic views of the era. The design of a modern costume cannot evolve in isolation from national traditions. The national costume is not only a bright element of age-old culture, but also the integrity of traditional cut, ornament and decor. Today is the heyday of the Turkmen national culture, a time when special attention is paid to national decorative art. An important element in clothing design is the properties of fabrics, embroidery, finishing and their decorative capabilities. All the typical features of ancient Turkmen clothing are transferred to modern design: the traditional dress and robe are adopted as the basis.

How to Prevent Seasonal Diseases

The change of season is always a test for our body. The air temperature drops, the days become shorter, sleep and eating patterns change – the body goes into acclimatisation mode and becomes more vulnerable. Autumn is the time when the personal health problems, physical and mental, become more acute. According to statistics, the largest number of exacerbations of chronic diseases occur during this period. Even healthy people experience stress during the transition period, not to mention those with health problems. Climate has a direct and indirect effect on humans. The direct influence is very diverse and is due to the direct effect of climatic factors on the human body, particularly on the conditions of heat exchange with the environment: on the blood supply to the skin, the respiratory and cardiovascular system and sweating. Many people find it very difficult to adjust to autumn weather due to the sudden change in temperature, dampness and coolness.
