Turkmenistan has officially designated the upcoming year, 2024, as “The Year of The Fount of the Mind of Magtymguly Fragi,” according to a resolution approved by President Serdar Berdimuhamedov during the last joint meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers and the State Security Council. The decision aligns with the comprehensive efforts aimed at studying and promoting the rich literary legacy of Magtymguly Fragi, a revered Eastern classical poet and thinker, whose contributions have become a treasury of global spiritual culture.
The resolution, titled “On the celebration of the 300th anniversary of the birth of the great thinker and classical poet of the East Magtymguly Fragi,” underscores the ongoing endeavors within the country and abroad to highlight the invaluable literary heritage of Magtymguly Fragi. His works are recognized as a national school of education, fostering high morality, humanistic values, and patriotic sentiments among the people.
Dunyagozel Gulmanova, the Chairman of the Mejlis, announced the resolution at a Government meeting, emphasizing the desire to link the motto of 2024 with the name of Magtymguly Pyragy. The decision is also influenced by the poem “Pähim-paýhas ummany Magtymguly Pyragy,” crafted by the insightful talent and wisdom of Hero-Arkadag. The resolution takes into account the recommendations from members of the Halk Maslakhaty, representatives of public organizations, labor collectives, and citizens.
It’s worth noting that Turkmenistan follows the tradition initiated by Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, designating each year with a specific motto to commemorate significant events. The preceding year, 2023, was celebrated in Turkmenistan under the motto “Happy youth with Arkadag Serdar.”
