During the recent government meeting, Deputy Prime Minister Nokerguly Atagulyýev detailed the operational timeline and events scheduled for the National Carpet Day, which will be celebrated on May 31, 2026. The conceptual framework of the upcoming events is structured to emphasize the global significance of Turkmenistan's traditional weaving arts and to facilitate commercial partnerships within the textile sector.
The official agenda features a comprehensive exhibition of handmade carpets alongside the XXVI Session of the World Association of Turkmen Carpet Connoisseurs. This international summit is anticipated to host global research scholars, cultural historians, industry experts, and corporate representatives from foreign textile firms. The sessions will focus on integrating traditional manufacturing styles into modern supply chains and preserving ancestral designs.
A significant highlight of the celebration will take place at the National Museum of Turkmen Carpet, which has been designated to host a state honors ceremony. In recognition of their dedication to maintaining historic weaving techniques, exceptional female weavers will be formally decorated with the state title of "Honored Carpet Weaver of Turkmenistan." The selection process highlights the government's ongoing support for artisanal industries.
Additionally, academic forums under the titles "Arşyň nepisligi" and "Janly rowaýat" will be launched in Ashgabat to discuss technical innovations and structural preservation methods in textile production. President Serdar Berdimuhamedov reviewed the ministerial brief and underlined the importance of high-level administrative oversight.
