By a Decree of the President of Turkmenistan, a leadership transition has taken place at the "Ýaşlyk" television and radio channel, which operates under the State Committee for Television, Radio Broadcasting, and Cinematography. Guvanch Halmuhammedovich Nazarov has been officially appointed as the new head of the channel, succeeding Yakupgeldi Gurbannyýazovich Kasymov, who was relieved of his duties. This administrative change reflects the government's ongoing efforts to revitalize national broadcasting and enhance youth-oriented programming.

The outgoing head, Yakupgeldi Kasymov, had served in the position since July 12, 2024. His tenure involved managing the strategic direction of the channel during a period of transition in the digital media landscape. The appointment of the new director, Guvanch Nazarov, is expected to bring fresh perspectives to the channel’s editorial policy and creative production, ensuring that the content remains relevant to the evolving interests of the young audience in Turkmenistan.

The "Ýaşlyk" channel is a vital component of the country’s media infrastructure, focusing primarily on educational, cultural, and recreational content for children and teenagers. The leadership reshuffle aims to accelerate the modernization of the channel’s broadcast standards and to foster more engaging storytelling that aligns with national development goals. The new head is tasked with overseeing the integration of innovative media technologies to improve the quality of both television and radio outputs.

This Presidential Decree was formally announced through the state media outlet "Watan." Such personnel moves within the State Committee are regular occurrences intended to maintain high professional standards and ensure the effectiveness of public information services. Under its new leadership, the "Ýaşlyk" channel is anticipated to introduce diverse new projects that support the intellectual and patriotic education of the nation's youth.
