35 Years of Independence: A Legacy of Progress and the Power of Youth

Oguljan Jumayeva, teacher at the specialized secondary school No. 39 in Turkmenabat city, active member of the primary women's organization: Under the wise leadership of our Arkadagly Hero Serdar, every day of our Motherland is filled with great developments and historic events. In the year of "Independent, permanently Neutral Turkmenistan — the land of prosperity and rapid development," we will grandly celebrate a significant date — the glorious 35th anniversary of our sacred Independence.

The recent signing of the Decree by our Arkadagly Hero Serdar at the expanded meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers on the results of 2025 regarding the creation of a state organizing committee to hold the events planned for the current year at a high level, has created a sense of boundless joy among our compatriots. As the Honorable President noted, the inspiring motto of this year carries great meaning and encourages us to carry out work aimed at further increasing the prestige of our stable state and the prosperity of our Motherland. Therefore, each of our citizens is working hard to implement this motto in practice, contributing personally to the excellent preparation and high-level execution of the year's events.

In the nearly 35 years since the Turkmen people established an Independent state, a new generation has grown up — healthy, industrious, sincere, eager to learn and work, broad-minded, and proficient in modern technologies. Educated youth, raised in the national spirit of our Independent state, are raising the prestige of our country even higher on the world stage today. Students studying in the world's most prestigious schools prove their loyalty to the unshakable traditions and humanitarian qualities of our people through their excellent studies and exemplary behavior. Turkmen youth actively participate in various creative, sports, labor, and scientific competitions, flying our green Flag high. These successes are the gratifying result of the tireless care for youth by our Hero Arkadag and Arkadagly Hero Serdar. These achievements are a worthy continuation of the national principles of upbringing passed down by our wise ancestors.
