The unparalleled bravery of our national heroes is a great example of how to serve the Homeland and makes each of us committed to their victorious paths. The father of our Hero Arkadag Berdymuhammed Annayev voluntarily defended the Homeland along with his comrades-in-arms who responded strongly to the enemy so that mankind could live in peace.

Following the example of our brave ancestors who went to war, Turkmen women set a great example of loyalty, maintained the well-being of their families, raised their sons and daughters, worked day and night for the honor and freedom of the Homeland, it is noteworthy that they handed over nearly 7,400 kilograms of gold and silver ornaments to the Defense Fund and expressed their noble humanity and unbreakable will. Turkmenistan is carrying out systematic work to strengthen global peace, develop brotherhood and humanitarian relations in our country under the leadership of our National Leader.
Our esteemed President emphasizes that Victory Day is of great importance by promoting peace-loving, friendly and brotherly views of mankind in our country.
