The first child of 2026 was born and named Atamyrat

The moments of welcoming the New Year, declared as the year of “Independent, permanently Neutral Turkmenistan — the land of swift horses and lofty aspirations,” were marked by memorable events for the country. In the first hours of the new year, the first baby of 2026 was born at the Scientific and Clinical Center for Maternal and Child Health in the capital, arriving with bright hopes and wishes.

According to medical reports, the health condition of the baby born into the Gayipov family is satisfactory. The baby boy, born in the very first moments of the New Year, weighed 3 kilograms 100 grams and measured 48 centimeters in length.

The parents of the baby, named Atamyrat, expressed their gratitude to the esteemed President and Hero Arkadag for the state-level care provided in the country for public health and the harmonious development of children.

It is pleasant to note that the name given to the newborn harmoniously reflects the wise expression “at-myrat,” in line with the title of the year “Independent, permanently Neutral Turkmenistan — the land of swift horses and lofty aspirations.”

On the occasion of the baby’s birth, the happy family was presented with festive gifts on behalf of the esteemed President and Hero Arkadag. Gifts were also presented on behalf of the Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov Charitable Foundation for Assistance to Children in Need.
