On September 22, a festive concert titled «Arkadagly Gahryman Serdarymyzyň belent maksatlarynyň aýdyň ýollary» was held at the «Mukams» Palace of the State Cultural Center of Turkmenistan, dedicated to the successes achieved by our country under the leadership of the President Serdar Berdimuhamedov.

The celebration was preceded by an exhibition unfolded in the foyer of the Palace, at which works of decorative and applied art and jewelry created by talented craftsmen, including Turkmen women, were presented.

The works of fine art included in the exhibition, alongside the achievements of our mighty Fatherland and the accomplishments of the era of independence, reflected images of Akhal-Teke horses. This is deeply symbolic, since the year 2026 in our country is passing under the motto «Independent Neutral Turkmenistan — the Homeland of Purposeful Winged Horses». The exhibition gave particular significance to the current event.

The festive concert opened with a beautiful and inspiring composition, which reflected the grandiose accomplishments being realized in the Epoch of the Revivsl of the New Era of the Powerful State under the wise leadership of the President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov, aimed at ensuring a prosperous life for the native people.

The celebration continued with a literary-musical composition, in which, through songs and music, the pride, unity and trust of the people of Turkmenistan toward the President Serdar Berdimuhamedov were expressed. Such unity, spiritual elevation and gratitude of the people testify to the inexhaustible love for Arkadagly Hero-Serdar.

A festive mood was given to the concert by the performance of representatives of the younger generation — the future of our independent Motherland. The musical-choreographic composition performed by them was filled with joy, merriment and the sparkle of children's creativity.

The use of modern technologies on stage gave the celebration a distinctive flavor, making the numbers even brighter.

Those gathered rewarded the singers, musicians and dance ensembles with loud applause for their enthusiasm in glorifying the achievements of our country in all areas.

The concert concluded with the song «Şöhrat bolsun, şan bolsun Gahryman Arkadagymyza, Arkadagly Serdarymyza!». The inspiring words and beautiful melody increased in the hearts of the people of Turkmenistan pride in the country's successes, confidence in a bright future, and love for the native Fatherland, moving forward with the swiftness of a steed along the path of creation and progress together with the Hero-Arkadag and under the leadership of Arkadagly Hero-Serdar.
