President of Turkmenistan attended the ceremony of laying flowers to the Monument of Independence on occasion of the 23d anniversary of Independence of our state.
Early in the morning, thousands of Turkmen citizens and guests to Ashgabat gathered together at the magnificent complex that symbolizes the freedom, power, creative potential, peace-loving policy and aspiration for the happy future of the independent Turkmen state.
Among the ceremony participants were the Chairperson of the Mejlis, cabinet ministers, heads of military and law-enforcement agencies, ministries and departments, representatives of the public organisations, ambassadors of Turkmenistan to foreign states, heads of diplomatic missions and international organisations accredited in Turkmenistan, foreign businessmen, journalists, the elders, students as well as members of the foreign delegations and our compatriots living abroad, who had arrived in the Turkmen capital to take part in the festive events to mark the 23d anniversary of Independence of Turkmenistan.
Ceremony participants cordially greeted President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov. The Turkmen leader walked on the alley, along which the Guard of Honour of the Armed Forces of Turkmenistan stood. The golden spire of the Monument of Independence, which is designed with the aim to immortalize the sacred date of gaining the sovereignty by the Turkmen people in the memory of the present and future generations, proudly soars into the sky.
The National Anthem of Turkmenistan sounded. In a solemn atmosphere President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov laid a wreath of flowers to the magnificent memorial complex. The flowers are the symbol of the eternal memory and respect to our heroic ancestors and their deeds in the centuries-old struggle for the freedom and independence of the nation.
