Today, thematic meetings, forums, presentations, and creative events dedicated to the great Turkmen poet are being held in Turkmenistan and abroad.
As part of the upcoming anniversary celebrations, the opening of a grandiose monument to Magtymguly Fragi in the south of Ashgabat is planned. The initiator of the creation of a cultural and park complex dedicated to the classics of Russian literature in the foothills of the Kopetdag is National Leader of the Turkmen people, Chairman of the Halk Maslakhaty Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov. According to his proposal, monuments to poets and thinkers of other countries will also be installed on the territory of the complex. This will become the personification of friendship, brotherhood and good neighborliness of peoples, which Magtymguly Fragi called for in his works.
During the meeting, the activities of the Council of Elders at the Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov Charitable Foundation were reviewed. Regular practice includes the allocation of funds from the fund for operations on children in need of care in medical institutions in Ashgabat and regions of the country, as well as payment of treatment costs and the purchase of medical supplies for pupils of orphanages, specialized schools and boarding schools.
