The National Leader of the Turkmen people, Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty, Honorary Elder Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov made a working trip to Arkadag City, where he familiarized himself with the building projects planned for construction in the next stage of development, reviewed the site plans, and held a working meeting with relevant leaders.
Currently, thanks to the efforts of the Hero of Arkadag, construction work in the new city is progressing rapidly for the objects of the second phase. This serves as a vivid symbol of the large-scale urban development program initiated by the National Leader of the Turkmen people and successfully implemented by Hero of Arkadag Serdar.
Early in the morning, the Hero of Arkadag arrived in the "smart" city located in the foothills of Kopetdag. Distinguished architect of Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov inspected the ongoing construction work here, which is being carried out at a high pace and in accordance with the requirements of the time.
Significant importance is attached to the use of advanced technologies and best practices in the construction of various facilities, including industrial complexes.
Subsequently, the Chairman of the State Committee for the Construction of Arkadag City, D. Orazov, reported to the President of Turkmenistan on the planned construction of various facilities, particularly on the prepared project of the Art Carpet Enterprise, their locations, and the construction materials used.
A general view model of the Art Carpet Enterprise, highlighting its external and internal design features, was also presented.
In response to the requests and appeals of the residents of the new city at the state level, a decision was made to build a carpet enterprise here, which will be of great significance for continuing the traditions of carpet weaving into the modern era, expanding the range of carpets and carpet products woven by Turkmen craftswomen, as well as for increasing employment. This carpet industry facility will harmoniously blend with the architectural appearance of the new city and occupy a worthy place among specialized enterprises producing world-class products.
Having reviewed the presented projects, the Hero of Arkadag suggested some adjustments. The construction of the carpet enterprise here was noted as particularly significant. Carpet weaving is a school of upbringing that spans centuries. Developing this art is among the important tasks of today, as its noble traditions, passed down through millennia, remain relevant today.
Emphasizing that all conditions should be created for the creative work of the workers at the Art Carpet Enterprise, with due consideration for the specific conditions of carpet weavers, the Hero of Arkadag instructed the relevant leaders accordingly.
The complex will include several workshops for the production of large carpets, tapestries depicting nature, paintings, portraits, and gift carpet products.
The Hero of Arkadag also noted that alongside the above, a special room for storing scissors, boards, saws, and other materials used in carpet weaving should be provided in the modern carpet enterprise.
It is advisable to install an interactive device containing information on the history of Turkmen carpets, their creation techniques, and color combinations, remarked the Hero of Arkadag. This will consolidate all information related to the art of carpet weaving in electronic form, accessible to anyone interested.
It was noted that modern design developments should be applied in the production of carpet products.
The durability and beauty of Turkmen carpets attract the attention of connoisseurs. This testifies that carpets woven by Turkmen women throughout history retain their splendor, no matter how many centuries pass, and are recognized worldwide as the main decoration of fashionable homes, grand palaces, and festive events.
The National Leader of the Turkmen people mentioned that special workshops should be created within the production complex and all conditions should be provided for the weaving process. Long-term experience has proven that exposure to open air is important for carpet fibers, while sunlight affects the color palette.
As noted by the Hero of Arkadag, in the past, a significant amount of dust was generated during carpet manufacturing, emphasizing that today, all opportunities exist to maintain air cleanliness through specialized equipment, and he instructed to ensure this at the carpet enterprise under construction.
Subsequently, after reviewing the project of the planned park to be built in the new city and its design, Hero of Arkadag Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov made several remarks and suggestions for adjustments.
"The celestial" horses are associated with fountains, noted the National Leader of the Turkmen people, suggesting placing statues of legendary horses here, as well as inscriptions containing information about their history and achievements. This will be a vivid symbol of the nationwide love for horses, whose fame has spread worldwide.
The Akhal-Teke horses created by our ancestors throughout history, along with the faithful companions of the Turkmen people, the Alabay dogs, Turkmen carpets embodying the "beauty of the heavens," and the Arvana camels with their distinctive character, are national treasures of our people.
Arvana camels, which were used as the main mode of transport on caravan routes passing through the ancient land of Akhal-Teke horses, continue to occupy a special place in the lives of Turkmen people and among national treasures, emphasized the Hero of Arkadag, instructing to approach the resolution of tasks in this area responsibly and comprehensively.
The National Leader of the Turkmen people also emphasized the importance of international certificates, corresponding certificates, and registration documents for trademarks issued by medical cluster structures presented among the projects and drawings here. This is a clear indication that the country's activities are conducted in accordance with international standards.
The Hero of Arkadag noted that work conducted in all areas, especially during the construction of the city, must meet high quality standards. Advanced experience and innovative technologies should be effectively applied. Special attention should be paid to ecological issues in the construction of objects in the new city. The magnificent buildings to be erected here should embody a modern model of national architectural traditions.
Subsequently, the Hero of Arkadag held a working meeting here with the participation of the Chairman of the State Committee for the Construction of Arkadag City under the President of Turkmenistan, D. Orazov, and the hakim of Arkadag City, G. Mammedova, during which issues related to the next stage of development of the new city and the preparation of events for significant dates were discussed.
The National Leader of the Turkmen people, Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty, Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, emphasized that, as in all regions of the country, activities carried out in Arkadag City must meet ecological requirements. When preparing building projects, the natural features of this region should be taken into account. In this regard, it is important to study innovative ideas and developments of students from specialized universities and actively utilize their proposals.
During the construction and maintenance of structures, high-quality materials should be used considering their durability and the climatic conditions of the country, especially the characteristics of national design. Achievements in architecture and decor should be reflected in the external and internal appearance of buildings and structures, harmoniously blending with the traditions of national architecture, stated the Hero of Arkadag.
It was also reported that the Cultural Week, first held in Arkadag City, started at a high organizational level, with an extensive cultural program prepared. June 29 marks the anniversary of the grand opening of the "smart" city. To mark this occasion, festive events are planned. Information was also provided on the ongoing work to populate the residential buildings of the new city.
The National Leader of the Turkmen people, Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan, Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, emphasized that every effort must be made to ensure the high-level organization of the Cultural Week, which holds great significance in the country's life. The events planned for the anniversary of the opening of Arkadag City should reflect themes such as its harmonious development, the happy life of the population, and the unique features of this area. At the same time, special attention should be paid to their compliance with the spirit of the times.
The Hero of Arkadag noted that appropriate measures are currently being taken to ensure that the facilities planned within the second phase of construction of the new city meet modern requirements. Comprehensive efforts are being made for the harmonious socio-economic development of Arkadag City. In this regard, great importance is attached to ensuring the well-being of the population, creating necessary conditions for productive work, comfortable rest, and health improvement.
Concluding the working meeting, the Hero of Arkadag reviewed the progress of work within the second phase of construction of the new city.
The National Leader of the Turkmen people emphasized that a harmonious blend of the architectural appearance of Arkadag City with the natural features of the area, the traditions of national architecture with the advanced experience of modernity, is an important requirement for enhancing the attractiveness of the new city.
Emphasizing that attention should be paid to landscaping adjacent territories, work quality, and decorative features when constructing buildings of various purposes, the Hero of Arkadag gave a series of instructions to the relevant leaders.
Wishing success to everyone in accomplishing the set tasks, the National Leader of the Turkmen people departed from the event.
