A festive book fair dedicated to Christmas took place at the European Union Delegation in Ashgabat, the capital of Turkmenistan. Major bookstores of the city came together at a single venue, offering visitors a diverse selection of books across various literary genres. Traditional Christmas music and complimentary treats helped create a warm holiday atmosphere in Turkmenistan.
According to Turkmenistan: The Golden Age publication, one of the most popular areas was the book exchange zone. This initiative supported cultural development in Turkmenistan, encouraged environmentally conscious practices, and promoted direct interaction among readers.
Special activities were arranged for children, including a meeting with Santa Claus, who hosted a New Year-themed quiz. In addition, young participants in Turkmenistan enjoyed creative workshops and an interactive “Santa’s post office” corner.
Event organizers noted that such celebrations in Turkmenistan contribute significantly to strengthening international cultural ties and fostering a love of reading within the community.

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.
