«We established this holiday given the merits of navy personnel in protecting the inviolability of the sea border, ensuring the safety of our sovereign Fatherland and people, imlementing the rights and duties implied by the legal status of Turkmenistan's neutrality, which was recognised by the United Nations Organisation, as well as its strategy aimed at supporting the peaceful and friendly relations with the countries all around the world», said the President in his address. «The Naval Forces should be a reliable guarantor of the peace-loving policy of Turkmenistan and peace on the Caspian Sea».

«Along with other Armed Forces of the country, the material and technical resources of the Navy has steadily strengthened. The most advanced technologies, equipment and ships are purchased. That is vividly exemplified by the Hazar-2016 combined-arms tactical exercises that demonstrated the combat strength of the Navy of Turkmenistan and the navy personnel.

We will continue paying particular attention to enhancing the material and technical resources of the Navy, improving the professional skills of navy sailors, guaranteeing the reliability and inviolability of sea borders.

Guaranteeing the military security of Turkmenistan in accordance with its Military Doctrine, which is of particularly defensive character, is an extremely important vector of the state policy. In this context, the Navy military post was established for the first time in the history of our neutral Motherland.

In order to secure the protection of the maritime border as well as to train highly qualified specialists to serve on warcrafts of the Ministry of Defense and the State Border Service of Turkmenistan, the Naval Institute of the Ministry of Defense and a specialized school on the basis of the institute were opened.

The opening ceremony of the new campus of this higher educational military institution that satisfies high international standards took place on the occasion of the Navy Day on October 9, 2015.

The educational process in the university must always meet the highest modern requirements. The duty of military personnel, who have studied at the Naval Institute, is to reliably protect the maritime border of our country.

The Caspian Sea issues occupy a special place in the foreign-policy strategy of Turkmenistan. Our country will continue implementing measures aimed at ensuring the environmental well-being and maintenance of the Caspian Sea biodiversity, the efficient use of its rich hydrocarbon reserves, strengthening the status of the sea of consent, friendship, good relations and effective cooperation.

Your sacred duty is to solve the tasks in accordance with the principles of good neighborliness, mutual respect and equal partnership. I believe that you will honorably follow this responsible and noble mission».
