President of Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov emphasizes that the main objective of the expanding network of websites in Turkmenistan is to promote accomplishments and acheivements of the ongoing reforms in our country. Medeniyet – the website dedicated to Turkmen culture – appeared in June this year to mark the Day of Cultural and Art Workers of Turkmenistan. The creation of this online resource was one of the events in the programme of the Week of Culture, which was held in our country for the first time. The new website, having provided information support for this large-scale cultural action in the Internet, continues to tell an internaional audience about important current events in the cultural life of the country, promote our national heritage worldwide and represent the latest achievements of Turkmenistan in the arts.
Today, the portal of Turkmen culture offers the readers not only news reports, research publications, thematic materials and photo galleries with a ‘virtual museum’, but also gives the readers an opportunity to free download cultural magazines and books. The designers of the site dedicated to Turkmen culture sought to provide it with a broader ideological platform beyond the scope of June festive events. The website that appeared on the eve of the Day of Cultural and Art Workers of Turkmenistan and widely covered the Week of Culture in Turkmenistan will actively develop further as an independent resource serving as a source of information on Turkmen culture and covering many other related topics.
In this connection, the functionality of the site will be ensured through useful services and its database will be expanded through new materials, reports, research reports, photo images and videos. Ultimately, this Internet project in the global network will be transformed into a popular electronic publication carrying out an important mission to promote Turkmen culture in a new modern format. The key factors for successful implementation of the social and economic reforms in our country and its integration into the global information space is an advanced network infrastructure. The science-based economic diversification strategy developed and successfully implemented by President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, which provides for automation and computerization, introduction of electronic document management system documents in all spheres of life and development of modern telecommunications network, along others, enables to keep pace with the global progress in the information age. This process involves the mass media that in recent years has been using increasingly the Internet technologies, creating electronic newspapers and thereby expanding the involvement of Turkmenistan in the global network.
Turkmenistan is strengthening its position in the global information space by continuously increasing the number of national information resources which broadly covered the events in social and political life of Turkmenistan and its achievements and accomplishments in thematic or specialized publications and presenting the latest news and events in various fields, analytical reviews and informative and scientific materials to the readers. A number of thematic websites designed by Turkmen specialists have appeared in the first half of the year.
The official website of the State Migration Service of Turkmenistan was a new step to optimize its activities, improve the quality of services rendered to citizens and inform citizens of Turkmenistan and the world community of key priorities of the migration policy of Turkmenistan complying with international law.
The new portal provides an additional opportunity to Turkmen citizens and citizens of foreign countries to receive timely information on the legal and statutory acts and other documents on the relevant issues, the procedure for issuing biometric passports, invitations, visas, etc.
This year Turkmenistan has hosted the festivities of the International Holiday of Nowruz that is wieldy and solemnly celebrated in our country.
