The popular Ukrainian magazine “Kyiv Diplomatic” about the life and work of diplomatic institutions and diplomats working in Ukraine and abroad, as well as about politics, economics, business and culture, wrote in the latest issue about how widely Ukraine celebrates the 300th anniversary of the outstanding thinker, national Turkmen poet Magtymguly Pyragy.

The magazine covers two important events organized by the Embassy of Turkmenistan in Ukraine. The first is the presentation of a complete collection of Ukrainian translations of poems by the outstanding Turkmen poet entitled "Magtymguly Pyragy. Revelation" in May 2024 at the National Library of Ukraine for Children. The author of the article noted that the new edition will become famous thanks to the priceless translations of Magtymguly's poems, as well as interesting information about his life and work. Quoting the words from the speech of the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Turkmenistan to Ukraine Toyly Atayev, the author writes that the new book tells about the life and spiritual world of the classic poet, his poetry and philosophical views recognized in many countries, on different continents, and the word of the great classic, who lived three centuries ago, is relevant today and is perceived by the current generation as an instruction on morality, patriotism, courage, justice, and the poet's works are the richest treasury of wisdom, inspiration, intelligence and knowledge. An important part of the presentation was a visit to the exhibition "Cultural Values of the Turkmen People" about the wealth of traditions and customs.

The 300th anniversary of the poet, celebrated under the auspices of UNESCO, was celebrated in June of this year in the center of the Ukrainian capital near the monument of Pyragy on the Day of Workers of Culture and Art of Turkmenistan, as well as the poetry of Magtymguly Pyragy.

These events were celebrated together with foreign and Ukrainian diplomats, representatives of the Ukrainian government, politicians, cultural and artistic figures, Turkmen and Ukrainian youth.
