The openness, peacefulness, patriotism, fearlessness, courage are the traits inherent in the national mentality of the Turkmen people. During the Great Patriotic War, standing shoulder to shoulder with the representatives of other peoples, our courageous compatriots, the Turkmen soldiers demonstrated the courage and heroism in the severe battles.

“Turkmen women - the faithful keepers of the family hearth voluntarily gave 7.392 kg of gold and silver jewelry to the Defense Fund. A giant carpet "Turkmenistan Kalby" that has become a piece of arts was woven in our country during the years of war.

“Even though with the course of time, the ranks of our compatriots, who walked the roads of war and have lived into old age, are thinning out, the sufferings and losses will never be forgotten. The heroes, who demonstrated the courage and bravery, will forever remain in our hearts! We bow our heads and honour the heroes, who shed blood and gave their lives for the happiness of their people! We remember and honour the memory of those, who contributed to the Great Victory by their selfless labour on the home front.
