A large-scale military parade was held in Ashgabat to commemorate the 34th anniversary of Turkmenistan’s independence. The event, taking place at the State Tribune Complex, was the focal point of the national celebrations and drew wide public attention, including international guests and diplomats.

Troops from all branches of the Armed Forces marched across the capital’s central square, showcasing Turkmenistan’s latest military equipment and technology. The display reflected the country’s strictly defensive military doctrine. Spectators also witnessed formations of military aircraft and helicopters fly overhead, while a live broadcast from the Caspian Sea featured the readiness of the national Navy.

A special highlight of the parade was the appearance of cavalry units mounted on legendary Akhal-Teke horses — a living symbol of Turkmen heritage and pride, emphasizing the connection between tradition and modern defense.

Following the military segment, thousands of civilians from Ashgabat, Arkadag, and all five provinces joined the procession. Among them were industrial leaders, sector specialists, young professionals, and students, representing the strength and unity of the nation’s workforce.

In celebration of the National Healthcare and Pharmaceutical Industry Workers' Day, a state-of-the-art Maternal and Child Healthcare Center was officially inaugurated in the city of Balkanabat. The landmark event gathered regional and municipal officials, members of the Halk Maslahaty and Parliament, healthcare professionals, and community leaders. The opening ceremony featured festive cultural performances, musical numbers, and traditional Kushtdepdi dances.

The newly constructed medical complex consists of four- and five-story buildings designed to accommodate up to 305 patients. The center houses comprehensive maternity and postnatal wards, a gynecology division, pediatric units, and diagnostic consultation departments. The facility is equipped with advanced medical technology, including MRI, CT scanners, digital mammography, and fluorography units.

Notably, the center features the region's first 10-bed neonatal intensive care unit, fully outfitted with "Medicor" incubators from Hungary and high-precision German monitoring systems. These technologies allow medical staff to continuously monitor vital stats, body temperature, oxygen saturation, and respiratory functions of newborns.

During the ceremony, outstanding builders from the "Shadiyan Gurlushyk" enterprise were honored with gifts on behalf of the President of Turkmenistan, who also donated a new fleet of vehicles to support the medical center's operations.
