In one of the most cherished times of our youth — our student years — winning the President of Turkmenistan’s “Golden Age of the Turkmen” competition is a great joy and a high honor. We regard the Shah Award from our esteemed President not only as a mark of respect and responsibility, but also as a symbol of the unifying power of culture, art, literature, and creativity — and as a sign of the great trust placed in us, the youth, at the state level.
Creative works by young people — including articles, stories, and poems — are shared with the public through the press. The opportunity to analyze important events, express our views, and reflect our pride in the era through newspaper pages fills our hearts with light and strengthens our belief in creativity.
Today, thanks to the support of the National Leader of the Turkmen people, Hero Arkadag, and the Head of State, all conditions are being created for us students: new universities are being built, and major reforms are taking place in the education system. As the National Leader has noted, we are all united by a sacred feeling — boundless love for our dear homeland and people. Therefore, we, the fortunate youth of this remarkable era, work creatively to promote the great achievements being carried out in our country.
As future international specialists, we are committed to glorifying our national diplomacy around the world, spreading the great progress and transformations of our homeland, and enthusiastically highlighting them in mass media.
