Every year on May 18, Turkmenistan solemnly celebrates Constitution and National Flag Day. Along with independence and neutrality, the Constitution and national symbols reflect the statehood of the Turkmen people, their values, goals, tasks, and the directions of state policy. This was reported by an online newspaper «Turkmenistan: Golden age».
The Constitution, adopted in a new edition on the initiative of the National Leader of the Turkmen people, Hero-Arkadag, and adapted to the requirements of a new stage in the development of society and the country, reflects the integrity, supremacy of law, and legal order in a democratic, legal, and secular state. The main distinctive feature of the Constitution of Turkmenistan is that it guarantees natural and inalienable human rights. The individual, their rights, and freedoms are of the highest importance for Turkmen society.
For Turkmen people, the national flag is an invaluable asset symbolizing independence and neutrality, the glorious past, happy present, and bright future, as well as honor and dignity. The green banner, featuring ancient carpet patterns, a crescent with five stars, and olive branches as a symbol of the legal status of neutrality recognized by the UN General Assembly, promotes the country and its valiant people worldwide.
On the occasion of Constitution and National Flag Day, festive concerts and cultural mass events are being held in Ashgabat and all regions of the country.
