President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov took part in the celebrations held in Moscow on May 9 on the occasion of the 78th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945.
The invitation to take part in the planned celebrations dedicated to the Great Victory over fascism was announced during a telephone conversation on May 7 this year between President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov and President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin.

Paying tribute to the memory and respect to the heroes who stood up to protect the peaceful life and freedom of all mankind and who fell in the battle against fascism on the fields of the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945, the head of Turkmenistan laid red carnations at the Eternal Flame.

In Turkmenistan, as in Russia, the memory of those who in those harsh years, not sparing their lives, bravely fought on the battlefields, is also sacredly honored. Today we honor the veterans who forged the great Victory in that terrible war, we bow our heads before the unfading feat of the front-line soldiers, who at the cost of their lives defended our land from fascism.
