Large-Scale Celebrations Held Across Turkmenistan to Mark International Children's Day
02 Jun. 06:28A comprehensive series of festive, cultural, and entertainment events took place across the nation to mark the beginning of summer and promote the welfare of the younger generation. The primary venues for the celebrations included the capital's "Ashgabat" recreation park and the public squares of the newly developed city of Arkadag. The organized programs featured the conclusion of various children's talent competitions, sports demonstrations, open-air drawing sessions, and interactive traditional games that engaged thousands of young citizens.
A central element of the celebration was dedicated to targeted social care and inclusive initiatives directed toward children in need of special state support. Inhabitants of the "Döwletliler köşgi" palace complex, alongside young patients undergoing treatment at specialized pediatric rehabilitation centers, received festive packages filled with fresh fruits and confections on behalf of the state leadership. Furthermore, the high school graduates of the orphanage were presented with modern laptop computers to facilitate their subsequent educational pursuits.
The preparation and distribution of these special packages were sponsored by the specialized Charitable Foundation for Assistance to Children in Need of Care. The state news agency TDH emphasized that equipping these young individuals with digital hardware is strategically aimed at enhancing their integration into the contemporary digital learning ecosystem. The gift presentations were accompanied by formal congratulations and motivational wishes for their future career paths.
The computational peak of the holiday schedule materialized through dynamic theatrical and circus performances staged in front of the Görogly State Equestrian Circus. Audiences were treated to a dramatic performance by the world-renowned "Galkynyş" national equestrian games group, whose riders executed high-difficulty acrobatic stunts on galloping horses. The brilliant display by this acclaimed collective, which has won numerous grand prizes at international festivals, concluded the nationwide holiday events.


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.
