In Turkmenistan, on March 21-22, the National Spring Holiday - International Novruz Day was celebrated on a grand scale.
In the Address of President Serdar Berdimuhamedov to the people of the country on the occasion of the holiday, its consolidating significance is emphasized: “Novruz is associated with the renewal of life, humanism, unity, being such for the whole world. The traditions associated with it are designed to strengthen relations between members of the international community based on the principles of peace, friendship, fraternity and goodwill”.
