Newborn Orphaned Girl Named Gurbangul Arkadag gyzy by the Council of Elders
26 May. 18:04During yesterday's high-level session of the Council of Elders under the Halk Maslahaty and the Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov Charitable Foundation, a profound act of state benevolence and humanitarian solidarity took place. The Chief of Staff of the Diwan of the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan, R. Bazarov, formally addressed the National Leader of the Turkmen People with a special institutional request to bestow a fitting and honorable name upon a recently born, orphaned baby girl currently being sheltered and raised at the Ashgabat City Children's Home.
As reported by the "Watan" national news broadcast, despite his dense legislative schedule and strategic state responsibilities, the Hero-Arkadag systematically prioritizes the welfare, education, and healthcare of the younger generation, especially children under social guardianship. R. Bazarov noted that hosting this specific assembly right before International Children's Day carries immense moral weight, underscoring the deep integration of humanitarian principles within modern Turkmen governance.
Endorsing the recommendation of the Council of Elders and highlighting that the child was born during the holy month of Eid al-Adha (Gurban month), the National Leader of the Turkmen People proposed to officially name the child Gurbangul Arkadag gyzy (Gurbangül Arkadag gyzy). This naming stands as a powerful symbol of state reverence for sacred cultural dates. The National Leader reconfirmed a core structural pillar of the state's social policy: that there are no neglected or parentless children within Turkmenistan, as a powerful, resilient state stands firmly behind every single child like an immovable mountain.

Seismic First: Scientists Officially Confirm Natural Earthquakes in Lithuania
10 Oct. 10:55The Geological Survey of Lithuania, supported by seismologists from the University of Helsinki, has officially confirmed the occurrence of natural tectonic earthquakes within the country’s borders for the first time. The seismic events, measuring 2.4 and 2.7 on the magnitude scale, occurred in western Lithuania near the Gargždai fault zone in December 2025. Furthermore, updated analysis of international seismic data allowed experts to reclassify a previously ambiguous 2015 tremor as a natural earthquake rather than human-induced activity.
Although the low-intensity quakes caused no structural damage or casualties, they mark the first instrumentally verified natural tectonic events recorded in modern Lithuanian history.
