In celebration of International Women’s Day, Ashgabat’s Mukams Palace hosted a spectacular concert honoring the women of Turkmenistan. The audience featured a diverse assembly of high-ranking officials, labor veterans, and female diplomats. The event served as a vibrant showcase of the nation’s artistic talent and its deep-seated cultural respect for the "sanctity of the mother."
The program kicked off with a theatrical piece titled "Homage to the Mother — Homage to the Sacred," based on the literary works of the National Leader. Throughout the evening, legendary folk performers shared the stage with rising pop stars, who delivered a multilingual tribute in Turkmen, English, and Russian. Highlight performances included the rhythmic "Kushtdepdi" dance by unified folklore troupes and heartwarming melodies by children's choirs. The celebration concluded with a powerful anthem reflecting the joy and security felt by women across the nation under its current leadership.


Specialists at the International Science and Technology Park of the Academy of Sciences of Turkmenistan, led by Durdymyrat Gadamov and Altyn Rahmanova, have developed a new-generation bio-agent designed to neutralize soil methane emissions. The solution utilizes local bacteria adapted to the regional climate, which harness methane monooxygenase to convert methane into carbon dioxide and water.
Methane is a major contributor to global warming, with a heat-trapping capacity in the atmosphere significantly higher than that of carbon dioxide. The newly developed bio-agent features high efficiency in industrially congested areas, cost-effectiveness through the use of local raw materials, and complete safety for human health and the environment.
This scientific breakthrough aligns with Turkmenistan's sustainable development strategy, supporting its commitments under the Global Methane Pledge to enhance environmental oversight in the energy sector.
