Turkmenistan marked the Day of Remembrance for the victims of the 1948 Ashgabat earthquake, as well as for the heroes who fell on the battlefields of all wars. President Serdar Berdimuhamedov took part in the mourning ceremony of laying flowers at the monuments of the Halk hakydasy Memorial Complex.

Commemoration of brave defenders of the Motherland and victims of natural disasters is one of the traditions of the Turkmen people, which goes back thousands of years and is intended to convey the heroic path of their ancestors to the present generation. The resilience of the Turkmen spirit made it possible to overcome the hardships and losses of those harsh years.

Memorial ceremonies were held today in the capital, in the city of Arkadag and in all provinces of the country.

This memorial ceremony in the Memorial Complex "Halk hakydasy" has become another vivid symbol of the continuity of humane principles of our ancestors.
