Today, President Serdar Berdimuhamedov at the invitation of President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin as a guest of honour took part in solemn actions on the occasion of the 79th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945.

At the due time, the presidential motorcade arrived in the building of the Kremlin.

There the Russian leader welcomed the head of Turkmenistan warmly. 

From the Kremlin President Serdar Berdimuhamedov together with other honoured guests - heads of the delegations who arrived in Moscow for participation in festive actions, headed towards the venue of solemn military parade - Central podium on the Red Square.

… Over seven decades have passed from the date of Great Victory. In days of the war, an irreplaceable loss was made to all humanity, peaceful life of millions of people and sacred values, development of world economy, culture, science, literature and art. The past time does not erase from the national memory the event of those remote heroic years and highlights firmness, fearlessness and courage of soldiers at the front even more brightly, selflessness of workers of the home front, more weighty and accurate becomes comprehension of world-wide and historical value of defeat of fascism and Nazism. 

For in days of the Great Patriotic War the general dream of peaceful life united millions of the people fighting against evil and violence. They brought a worthy contribution to approach of long-awaited Victory. Together with other fraternal people, courageous Turkmen nationals with firmness-withstood hardships of war, displayed highest moral qualities, samples of bravery, valour, unprecedented heroism and true patriotism in the bloody fight for peace, tranquillity and peaceful life on the earth. The feat of arms and courage of heroic ancestors were written by golden letters in the glorious history of our native land.

Following facts serve as a vivid example for it. In severe years of war at the front fought more than 265 thousand brave Turkmen nationals. Many of them for their heroism were awarded decorations and medals. 104 soldiers were awarded the high rank of the Hero of the Soviet Union, 19 front-line soldiers became full cavaliers of the Order of Glory. 

The fact that among participants of the Second World War - grandfather of National Leader of the Turkmen people, great-grandfather of President Serdar Berdimuhamedov - Berdimuhamed Annayev, whose life is a worthy example of true service to the country and its people, evokes a particular pride. Having gone as a volunteer to the front in 1943, he bravely fought in the 748th rifle regiment of the 206th rifle division of the 2nd Ukrainian Front. Having returned from war because of the serious wound, Berdimuhamed Annayev continued his teaching activity. 

One should note that the illustrious son of the Turkmen people, according to the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Body of the USSR from March 2, 1949, was awarded the Distinguished Service Order and according to the Decree signed in June, 2018 by President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin – the high state award of the Russian Federation - medal «For courage», for personal courage, bravery and valour, shown at fulfilment of soldier's duty in days of the Great Patriotic War.

In 2020 on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of Victory Day from Russia to Turkmenistan the battle banner of the 748th rifle regiment of the 206th rifle division under which Berdimuhamed Annayev was in war, was delivered. This valuable exhibit, which became a symbol of courage and boundless courage of Soviet soldiers and also one more sacred relic - medal «For courage», awarded valorous soldier Berdimuhamet Annayev, were transferred to eternal storage in the Memorial complex «Halk hakydasy». 

Today, the life and work record of this modest and fair teacher, front-line soldier and instructor serves for the younger generation as a sample of ardent patriotism, unusual diligence, courage and valour. In the Era of Revival of the New Epoch of the Powerful State in Turkmenistan great plans and grandiose transformations initiated by grandson of Berdimuhamet Annayev - Hero-Arkadag Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov and nowadays successfully realised by great-grandson - President Serdar Berdimuhamedov who have devoted his life to the service of his Fatherland and Turkmen people, are realised.

… Victory Day, one of the most valued and sacred holidays, personifying peace, safe and happy life of people, marked with tears in the face, has a special significance for all mankind. For even after decades, bitterness of losses of those terrible military years’ heavy memoirs lives in the hearts of nations of the world, including Turkmen. Despite past 79 years, the heroic history of military men finds a ready response in our hearts, filled with pride for compatriots.

With eternal gratitude to honour memory of heroes, self-denying defenders of the native land, with great respect to their names filled by glory - sacred traditions of our people. Paying tribute to the high feat of soldiers-Turkmen nationals, according to the Resolution of the President of Turkmenistan, in our country books «Hatyra», immortalised names of the heroes who lost their lives in war and «Şohrat», on which pages lists of soldiers, who retuned back with Victory were published. 

Today grey-haired elders, who have a huge life experience and those compatriots who bravely fought, defending freedom and independence of the people of the planet, whose self-denying work helped win a long-awaited victory, are surrounded with general respect and honour. With every passing year, the number of veterans of that war becomes lesser. 

The Turkmen state attaches a huge significance to regular improvement of their social conditions. Annually in honour of Great Victory in the war of 1941-1945 under solemn conditions, costly gifts are presented to veterans and widows of perished soldiers. Numerous social privileges are also provided for veterans of war and home front. With their admonishments and wisdom front-line soldiers and heroes of the home front, soldier's widows bring their contribution to the strengthening of unity of society and education of the youth in the spirit of patriotism and humanism. The senior generation urges the rising generation to love and loyalty to their native land and follow the principles put by ancestors - friendship, mutual respect and philanthropy …

By the way, one should point out that on May 9, 2010 - in the year of celebration of the 65th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War on the Red Square, along with soldiers of the Armed Forces of Russia, military men - representatives of the people participating in fierce battles of 1941-1945 also marched. Soldiers of the company of the Guard of honour represented Turkmenistan in that year. 

On completion of the military parade, by the developed noble tradition, heads of the states who took part in celebrations on the occasion of the significant date, walked to the Alexander Gardens located along the Kremlin wall where the flower laying ceremony to the Tomb of the Unknown soldier took place.

To sounds of mourning music, leaders of the friendly countries proceeded to a majestic architectural complex, which got in November 2009 the status of the National memorial of military glory. Soldiers with a wreath walk before them. 

The President of Turkmenistan, paying a tribute to the memory of the heroes who fought for protection of peace life and freedom of all humanity and fell in fight with fascism on fields of the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945, laid scarlet roses the Eternal fire.

Soldiers of the Guard of honour pass with a solemn march in formation by the memorial. 

This holiday is dear to everyone in an especial way. Indeed, the victory in the Great Patriotic War required from all fraternal people inconceivable efforts and diligence, firmness of spirit and unity. Today, celebrating this bright holiday, everyone thanks all those who displayed unprecedented heroism and patriotism for peace on the planet.

The memory of feat of heroes will always live in our hearts, uniting fraternal people even more strongly, and will serve as a reliable basis to strengthen interstate relations.

On completion of solemn actions, President Serdar Berdimuhamedov headed towards the airport "Vnukovo-2", from where he took off for Ashgabat. 

In some time, the plane of the head of the state landed in the capital International airport where officials met the President of Turkmenistan.

Дорогие соотечественники!
 

Уважаемые ветераны войны!

От всей души поздравляю с 79-й годовщиной Победы в Великой Отечественной войне 1941–1945 годов!

1941–1945 годы – самый безжалостный и в то же время наиболее скорбный период мировой истории, когда захватническая и грабительская война унесла жизни миллионов людей и привела к невосполнимым потерям, оставив незаживающие раны. С самого начала той беспощадной войны, затянувшейся на 1418 дней, наши соотечественники добровольно отправились на фронт, где бок о бок с братскими народами сражались на полях жестокой схватки, проявив беспримерную храбрость и мужество. За это они удостоились множества орденов и медалей. Имена наших воинов, которые сложили головы в кровопролитной войне, и тех, кто вернулся домой с Победой, занесены в многотомные издания «Hatyra» и «Şöhrat».

Наши соотечественники денно и нощно трудились не покладая рук, и в те лихие годы они собрали большие урожаи зерна и хлопка. Ими двигала непоколебимая вера и надежда в Победу. Война опалила и изувечила сердца, но наши женщины и девушки, следуя исконным принципам, без малейшего раздумья передали в Фонд обороны 7392 килограмма золотых и серебряных украшений. Тогда же ими был соткан огромный ковёр «Душа туркмен», который стал проявлением стремления туркменского народа жить в мире и благоденствии. Воспоминания о ратной доблести наших храбрых предков, трудовых достижениях соотечественников золотыми буквами навсегда вписаны в летопись Отечества.

Мы безмерно гордимся нашими героями, отважными предками, сражавшимися ради мира на Земле, безмятежного неба и счастливой жизни потомков, а также соотечественниками, самоотверженным трудом которых приближалась Великая Победа. Вечная им слава!

Родные туркменистанцы!

В эру Возрождения новой эпохи могущественного государства мы высоко чтим представителей старшего поколения, чья доблесть и удивительная школа жизни служат всем примером. Они, самоотверженно проявляя ратный и трудовой героизм во имя свободы человечества, приближали славную Победу. В году «Кладезь разума Махтумкули Фраги», ознаменованном чередой событий, как у нас, так и за рубежом, мы также увековечиваем светлую память героев возложением букетов свежих цветов в столичном мемориальном комплексе «Halk hakydasy» и в других мемориалах боевой славы и народной памяти. Вместе с тем по случаю праздника Победы по всей стране проходят тематические музыкально-песенные и культурно-массовые мероприятия, ветеранам войны торжественно вручаются праздничные подарки. Таким образом мы проявляем безграничную благодарность и уважение нашим героям, отдавшим жизни во имя свободы на полях войны 1941–1945 годов, а также соотечественникам, которые с достоинством преодолели суровые лишения и стали примером беззаветного служения Родине, народу и человечеству.

Дорогие туркменистанцы!

Сегодня в нашей суверенной Отчизне царят мир и благополучие, а национальная экономика развивается ускоренными темпами. Мы, руководствуясь главным принципом «Родина является Родиной только с народом! Государство является государством только с народом!», успешно выполняем задачи во имя счастливой и изобильной жизни человека – высшей ценности государства, то есть каждого гражданина Туркменистана. Постоянно интересуемся здоровьем и бытом ветеранов войны, почтенных старейшин и убелённых сединой бабушек и матерей, предоставляя им различные социальные льготы. Своими наставлениями и мудростью они вносят колоссальный вклад в укрепление единства общества, воспитание молодёжи в духе патриотизма и гуманизма. Старшее поколение призывает нас любить и быть преданными родной земле, следовать принципам национального менталитета, заложенным предками, – дружбы, доброй воли и гуманизма.

Проводимая нами политика по поддержанию мира, всеобщей безопасности и стабильности снискала независимому нейтральному Туркменистану высокий авторитет на международной арене. Выступая за расширение уз дружбы и братства между государствами, всестороннее содействие устойчивому развитию, мы активно участвуем в разработке оптимальных решений глобальных проблем. На 63-м пленарном заседании 78-й сессии Генеральной Ассамблеи Организации Объединённых Наций была единогласно принята инициированная Туркменистаном Резолюция «2025 год – Международный год мира и доверия». Это стало отрадным событием, торжеством на планете наших исконных принципов миролюбия, дружбы и доверия и приумножившим авторитет в мире Туркменского государства как миротворческого центра.

Мой родной народ!

Уважаемые ветераны войны!

Ещё раз от всей души поздравляю с праздником Победы в Великой Отечественной войне 1941–1945 годов – знаменательной датой, отмечаемой во славу великих ценностей человечества на планете – мира и гуманизма!

Желаю вам крепкого здоровья, счастливой жизни в благополучии и больших успехов в работе во имя дальнейшего процветания любимой Родины!

Президент Туркменистана 

Сердар Бердымухамедов.

This afternoon, President Serdar Berdimuhamedov left on a working visit to the Russian Federation, where, at the invitation of Russian President Vladimir Putin, he will take part as an honoured guest in the celebrations in honour of the 79th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945.

The head of state was seen off by officials at the capital's International Airport.

This visit of the President of the country to the Russian Federation is the next step towards the progressive development of constructive interstate relations, which in the modern epoch have been given new impetus and content.

One of the unforgettable, main pages of our joint history is the war of 1941-1945. The great feat, courage, unprecedented heroism shown at the fronts and in the rear during the harsh war years remained forever in the memory of our peoples. May 9 - Victory Day is truly a historically significant event that unites the peoples of the CIS.

In this context, the constant participation of the President of Turkmenistan in the celebrations on the occasion of the Great Victory in the Second World War, including the current ones, is deeply symbolic. At the same time, this is a reflection of respect for the common feat of the liberating heroes, whose memory will live forever.

The Turkmen people made a worthy contribution to the Great Victory won in fierce battles for the Motherland. His brave sons, shoulder to shoulder with representatives of other fraternal nations, not sparing themselves, fought heroically on the fronts, in partisan detachments, and worked selflessly in the rear. To this day, the valiant military feat of our fellow countrymen in those harsh years remains for all of us a true example of love for the Fatherland, honour and fidelity to duty.

Сегодня Президент Сердар Бердымухамедов принял участие в торжественной церемонии ввода в строй Яшлыкского водоочистного сооружения мощностью 30 тысяч кубометров воды в сутки, расположенного в этрапе Ак бугдай Ахалского велаята.

Забота о благополучии народа, систематическое повышение уровня и качества жизни людей – приоритет государственной политики Туркменистана, последовательно реализуемой под руководством Президента Сердара Бердымухамедова. На достижение поставленных целей направлены принятые и успешно осуществляемые в нашей стране масштабные программы, в том числе «Национальная программа по преобразованию социально-бытовых условий населения сёл, посёлков, городов этрапов и этрапских центров на период до 2028 года». При этом одной из ключевых задач определено обеспечение туркменистанцев чистой питьевой водой.

Наша страна располагает существенным опытом в деле рачительного и эффективного водопользования. Испокон веков туркменскому народу присуще бережное отношение к воде. В современную эпоху эти мудрые традиции находят воплощение в предпринимаемых комплексных мерах по модернизации инфраструктуры водного хозяйства, широком внедрении в практику достижений науки и инновационных экологически чистых водосберегающих технологий. Большое значение также придаётся цифровизации отрасли.

В Туркменистане уделяется неослабное внимание совершенствованию подходов к управлению водными ресурсами и их охране, созданию дополнительных запасов воды, улучшению водоснабжения городов и сёл, увеличению ёмкости водохранилищ, пропускной способности рек, оросительных и коллекторных сетей. В этих целях претворяются в жизнь профильные проекты, для отрасли приобретаются специализированные техника и оборудование новейших модификаций.

В данном контексте особое значение имеет реализация проекта строительства Туркменского озера «Altyn asyr». Сооружение этого рукотворного водоёма, а по сути, сложнейшей гидротехнической системы призвано способствовать успешному решению насущных экономических и социальных задач в стране, а также вопросов экологического благополучия как в Туркменистане, так и в регионе Центральной Азии. В этом плане Туркменское озеро – проект по-настоящему инновационный, подтверждающий, что наша страна вносит конкретный вклад в решение глобальных проблем, связанных с сохранением водных ресурсов планеты и защитой окружающей среды.

Как отмечает Президент Туркменистана, рациональное использование водных ресурсов, обеспечение населения планеты чистой питьевой водой определено одной из глобальных Целей устойчивого развития. Вместе с тем водохозяйственный аспект непосредственно связан с климатическим фактором. Противодействие изменению климата и его последствиям также включено в ЦУР. Демонстрируя ответственный и дальновидный подход к решению данных вопросов, Туркменистан конструктивно сотрудничает с Организацией Объединённых Наций и другими авторитетными международными структурами.

Активно продвигая водную и экологическую дипломатию на региональном и глобальном уровне, наша страна стремится содействовать укреплению плодотворного партнёрства в этих жизненно важных сферах, разработке передовых практик, которые могут послужить всему человечеству. Этому также призваны способствовать инициативы Туркменистана об открытии в Ашхабаде Регионального центра по технологиям, связанным с изменением климата в Центральной Азии, и о подготовке Водной стратегии Организации Объединённых Наций.

Кроме того, наша страна выступила с предложением о создании специальной Программы ООН для бассейна Аральского моря. Как известно, в мае 2023 года на 79-й сессии Экономической и социальной комиссии для Азии и Тихого океана (ЭСКАТО) была единогласно принята инициированная Туркменистаном Резолюция, касающаяся данного вопроса.

… Вертолёт главы государства приземлился на вертолётной площадке близ нового объекта. Затем Президент Сердар Бердымухамедов проследовал к месту проведения торжества.

С вдохновенной вокально-хореографической композицией, славящей достижения Отчизны и масштабные преобразования, инициированные Героем-Аркадагом и ныне успешно продолжающиеся под руководством Аркадаглы Героя Сердара, выступают мастера искусств страны.

По сложившейся доброй традиции под аплодисменты собравшихся Президент Сердар Бердымухамедов перерезает праздничную ленту и открывает новый объект.

Затем глава государства проследовал в Центр управления водоочистного сооружения, расположенный в административном корпусе. Здесь специалист ознакомил Президента Сердара Бердымухамедова с работой Центра, которая, как и деятельность других отделений комплекса, полностью автоматизирована.

В Центре принимаются такие решения, как подача с объекта очищенной питьевой воды в установленных объёмах, и по мере необходимости – их регулирование. Лаборатория, входящая в структуру комплекса, осуществляет контроль над приготовлением применяемых для очистки воды химических реагентов (смешивание растворов сульфата алюминия и гипохлорита натрия) согласно установленным нормам.

Выразив Президенту Туркменистана, а также Герою-Аркадагу искреннюю признательность за постоянное внимание к развитию водохозяйственной отрасли и заботу о её тружениках, за созданные возможности работать на современных предприятиях, оснащённых передовыми технологиями, специалист обратился к главе государства с просьбой благословить пуск водоочистного сооружения.

Нажатием кнопки на пульте управления Президент Сердар Бердымухамедов вводит новый объект в эксплуатацию.

На мониторе демонстрируется видеоролик, позволяющий получить наглядное представление о Яшлыкском водоочистном сооружении и технологическом процессе очистки воды.

Новый комплекс оснащён современным специализированным оборудованием от отечественных и зарубежных производителей. Из Каракум-реки вода поступает в резервуар, где она предварительно отстаивается. Затем осуществляется её механическая фильтрация посредством специальных решёток.

Далее с насосной станции вода подаётся по трубопроводам на водоочистное сооружение, где подвергается каскадной аэрации, естественным образом обогащаясь кислородом, а также проходит этап деминерализации – в частности, из неё удаляются такие элементы, как железо и марганец. После вода поступает для отстаивания и далее направляется для очистки химическим методом. Затем она насосами подаётся для дальнейшей фильтрации через песчаные и угольные фильтры.

Отфильтрованная и полностью очищенная вода дезинфицируется гипохлоритом натрия и направляется в 4 резервуара. Далее она подаётся в посёлок Яшлык, а также в близлежащие сёла. Кроме того, чистая питьевая вода поступает для водоснабжения села Гяверс и расположенных в его окрестностях населённых пунктов.

В целях обеспечения экологической безопасности осадок, образующийся в ходе очистки воды, соответствующим образом обрабатывается. Это осуществляется посредством специального оборудования, в том числе декантера, предназначенного для обезвоживания, сгущения и высушивания осадка.

Продолжая ознакомление с новым водохозяйственным объектом, глава государства зашёл в химико-бактериологическую лабораторию, поинтересовавшись её оснащением и спецификой работы.

Как рассказал специалист лаборатории, здесь установлено высокотехнологичное оборудование иностранного производства, в том числе спектрофотометр, выполняющий более 50 тестов, в частности, на содержание различных химических элементов в воде и на определение её жёсткости. С помощью турбидиметра измеряется степень мутности воды. Для приготовления химических реагентов предназначен магнитный смеситель с подогревом. Имеются также аналитические весы, потенциометрический PH-метр для измерения водородного показателя в воде, сушилка для используемых в лаборатории стеклянных изделий.

Выразив Президенту Сердару Бердымухамедову глубокую признательность за ввод в эксплуатацию нового объекта, имеющего большое значение для обеспечения туркменистанцев чистой питьевой водой, за предоставление молодёжи возможности трудиться на современных предприятиях, специалист адресовал главе государства, а также Герою-Аркадагу Гурбангулы Бердымухамедову пожелания крепкого здоровья, долголетия и больших успехов во всех благих делах.

Выйдя из административного корпуса, Президент Туркменистана вручил ключи от новых автомобилей, предназначенных для отрасли.

Тепло попрощавшись с участниками церемонии, глава государства проследовал на вертолётную площадку и отбыл в Ашхабад.

Таким образом, сегодняшние события, вписав новые яркие страницы в летопись года «Кладезь разума Махтумкули Фраги» эры Возрождения новой эпохи могущественного государства, стали очередным свидетельством успешности осуществляемых под руководством Президента Сердара Бердымухамедова комплексных преобразований, нацеленных на дальнейшее динамичное развитие национальной экономики, планомерное совершенствование социально-бытовых условий жизни народа. Всё это – наглядное подтверждение уверенного движения независимой нейтральной Отчизны по пути прогресса и созидания.

Сегодня Президент Сердар Бердымухамедов принял участие в торжественной церемонии ввода в строй второй очереди Бахерденского цементного завода мощностью 1 миллион тонн цемента в год.

В эру Возрождения новой эпохи могущественного государства развитие строительно-промышленного комплекса, играющего определяющую роль в упрочении экономического потенциала Отчизны, определено одним из приоритетов государственной политики.

Благодаря масштабным преобразованиям, начатым в этой важнейшей отрасли национальной экономики Национальным Лидером туркменского народа Героем-Аркадагом и успешно продолжаемым под руководством Президента Сердара Бердымухамедова, неуклонно увеличиваются ассортимент и объёмы выпуска импортозамещающей, экспортно-ориентированной продукции на основе богатейших местных сырьевых ресурсов, создаются благоприятные условия для кооперации с отечественными частными предпринимателями, принимающими самое активное участие в возведении промышленных объектов по всей стране.

Полная автоматизация производства, внедрение инновационных технологий, создание новых мощных и модернизация имеющихся предприятий обусловили вхождение Туркменистана в число индустриально развитых государств мира.

В строительную индустрию вкладываются огромные средства, которые направляются на укрепление материально-технической базы отрасли, комплексный рост промышленного сектора, обеспечение высокого качества и конкурентоспособности выпускаемой продукции, в частности, стройматериалов.

Показательным тому примером служит налаженное в стране производство цемента. Так, совсем недавно – в марте текущего года – при участии главы государства состоялось открытие второй очереди цементного завода в Лебапском велаяте мощностью 

1 миллион тонн продукции в год. И вот теперь в Бахерденском этрапе Ахалского велаята вводится в строй вторая очередь нового производства, высококачественная продукция которого востребована на многочисленных стройках Туркменистана.

Цементный завод «Bäherden», сданный в эксплуатацию в 2005 году, является одним из крупнейших подобных предприятий в Центральноазиатском регионе.

Флагман отечественной стройиндустрии представляет собой целый комплекс, расположенный у подножия величественных гор Копетдага, включающий огромные промышленные установки и производственные корпуса. Здесь выпускаются наиболее востребованные марки цемента, что обеспечивает высокие темпы ведущегося в Туркменистане строительства.

Вторая очередь промышленного гиганта годовой мощностью 1 миллион тонн цемента построена в соответствии с Постановлением главы государства индивидуальным предприятием «Beýik bina».

К работе также была привлечена крупнейшая германская инжиниринговая компания «KHD Humboldt Wedag», которая поставляет оборудование и оказывает услуги, включая проектирование процессов и управление проектами для мировой цементной промышленности.

Таким образом, неуклонно проводя политику «открытых дверей» и широкого международного сотрудничества, Туркменистан активно привлекает к развитию всех отраслей национальной экономики, в том числе строительной промышленности, ведущие зарубежные компании, располагающие большим опытом и инновационными технологиями.

Утром Президент Сердар Бердымухамедов прибыл на вертолёте на специальную вертолётную площадку и направился к расположенному неподалёку месту проведения торжества по случаю ввода в строй нового современного производства.

По этому знаменательному для страны событию здесь собрались Председатель Меджлиса, заместители Председателя Кабинета Министров, руководители министерств и ведомств, хяким Ахалского велаята, а также представители СМИ и широкой общественности.

Участники церемонии с большим воодушевлением приветствуют Аркадаглы Героя Сердара.

Неповторимый праздничный настрой торжеству придали песенно-музыкальные выступления мастеров искусств.

Глава государства проходит в зал, специально обустроенный для нынешней церемонии.

Выступая перед участниками торжества по случаю запуска второй очереди цементного завода «Bäherden» в Бахерденском этрапе Ахалского велаята, Президент Сердар Бердымухамедов отметил, что в независимом Туркменистане регулярно открываются объекты социальной инфраструктуры и производственные комплексы, что ныне стало традицией.

– Сегодня мы также примем участие в торжественной сдаче в эксплуатацию водоочистного сооружения в посёлке Яшлык этрапа Ак бугдай Ахалского велаята и передадим в качестве подарка около 200 автобусов современной модели, что предоставят жителям региона высококлассные пассажирские услуги, – сказал глава государства, от всей души поздравив присутствующих с этими замечательными событиями.

Как подчеркнул Аркадаглы Герой Сердар, сегодня, в эру Возрождения новой эпохи могущественного государства, нами реализуются целевые программные меры по социально-экономическому развитию страны, в частности по повышению динамики сфер национальной экономики. Их масштаб, определённый Программой «Возрождение новой эпохи могущественного государства: Национальная программа социально-экономического развития Туркменистана в 2022–2052 годах» и Программой социально-экономического развития страны в 2022–2028 годах, охватывает также промышленный и строительно-производственный секторы – одни из крупнейших отраслей экономики нашего государства.

Усердием и самоотверженным трудом промышленников стройплощадки страны снабжаются отечественными материалами высокого качества, в частности цементной продукцией, которая выпускается профильными заводами – «Bäherden», «Balkan» и «Lebap» – на базе инновационных технологий последнего поколения. Она в полной мере соответствует международным стандартам и пользуется большим спросом на внутреннем и внешнем рынках.

У нас сформировано многопрофильное строительное производство, в современных кластерах которого приоритет отдаётся расширению номенклатуры и увеличению объёма выпускаемых товаров. Отдельное внимание уделяется эффективному освоению инвестиций в стройиндустрию и наращиванию производственного потенциала предприятий.

Параллельно возводятся новые профильные объекты, которые оснащаются инновационными технологиями и способны выпускать из местного сырья высококачественную продукцию по международным стандартам. Один из них – современное предприятие, которое мы открываем сегодня в торжественной обстановке, продолжил глава государства.

Отмечалось, что данный объект построен членом Союза промышленников и предпринимателей Туркменистана – индивидуальным предприятием «Beýik bina» – по заказу Министерства промышленности и строительного производства страны и укомплектован передовой техникой, сконструированной в ведущих странах мира, что в свою очередь позволит оптимизировать производственные процессы и выпускать качественную продукцию.

Предприятие, представляющее собой комплекс из административного здания и 48-ми сооружений, рассчитано на производство по международным стандартам 1 миллиона тонны цементной продукции высокого качества, в том числе сульфатостойкой. Во второй очереди цементного завода «Bäherden» предусмотрены все условия для работы около 250 сотрудников и их досуга.

Президент Сердар Бердымухамедов выразил твёрдую уверенность в том, что промышленники независимой нейтральной Отчизны и впредь будут самоотверженно трудиться в целях развития страны, снабжая стройплощадки и граждан строительными материалами высокого качества.

В числе приоритетов государственной политики также было обозначено обеспечение населения чистой питьевой водой. Как отмечалось, в этом плане принимаются действенные меры для поддержания бесперебойной подачи качественной чистой воды в регионы нашей страны.

– И сегодня в посёлке Яшлык этрапа Ак бугдай Ахалского велаята сдаётся в эксплуатацию водоочистное сооружение мощностью 30 тысяч кубометров воды в сутки, которое располагает передовыми технологиями от ведущих стран мира. Мы продолжим эффективно работать над строительством в регионах новых и реконструкцией действующих водоочистных сооружений и систем водоснабжения, – подчеркнул в своём выступлении Аркадаглы Герой Сердар.

Глава государства отметил, что в нынешнем году также намечено запустить предприятие по выпуску отделочных керамических материалов в Бахерденском этрапе Ахалского велаята и водоочистное сооружение в городе Теджен этого же региона мощностью 30 тысяч кубометров воды в сутки. Кроме того, в Ахалском велаяте предусмотрено открытие множества объектов социальной и жилищной инфраструктуры. Словом, успешно продолжатся программные меры по комплексному развитию регионов и созданию новых производств, отвечающих требованиям времени.

Ещё раз поздравив работников сферы промышленности и строительного производства, а также население Ахалского велаята с торжественными мероприятиями, ознаменовавшими год «Кладезь разума Махтумкули Фраги», – открытием второй очереди цементного завода «Bäherden» в Бахерденском этрапе Ахалского велаята, водоочистного сооружения в посёлке Яшлык этрапа Ак бугдай Ахалского велаята, а также с передачей жителям региона современных автобусов в качестве подарка, глава государства пожелал всем крепкого здоровья, благополучной и счастливой жизни, больших успехов в работе.

Затем слово было предоставлено представителю компании «KHD Humboldt Wedag/ZAB» (Федеративная Республика Германия) – заведующему сервисной службой Геннадию Махтумову.

Искренне поздравив Президента Туркменистана и собравшихся с открытием второй очереди Бахерденского цементного завода, представитель компании подчеркнул, что вместе с туркменскими партнёрами были приложены большие усилия для выполнения строительства на высоком уровне нового предприятия, которое, безусловно, станет важной частью промышленного комплекса страны.

Пользуясь случаем, специалист выразил Президенту Сердару Бердымухамедову глубокую признательность за усилия по дальнейшему развитию сотрудничества между Туркменистаном и Германией, поддержку немецких бизнесменов, пожелав успехов в деятельности на благо страны и народа.

Под аплодисменты участников церемонии министру промышленности и строительного производства Туркменистана был вручён Сертификат, подтверждающий, что установленное оборудование и инженерные работы, выполненные компанией «KHD Humboldt Wedag» при реализации второй очереди Бахерденского цементного завода, полностью соответствуют международным стандартам, действующим в Германии: DIN (промышленным стандартам Германии); стандартам цементной промышленности; стандартам IEC (Международной электротехнической комиссии) и стандартам ISO.

Затем на большом мониторе был продемонстрирован специально подготовленный видеофильм о второй очереди Бахерденского цементного завода.

Построенный и введённый в эксплуатацию индивидуальным предприятием «Beýik bina» промышленный гигант сочетает в себе достижения современного индустриального производства.

Главными критериями реализации данного проекта стало обеспечение полной автоматизации всех процессов и создание комфортных условий для высокопроизводительного труда работников.

Новый завод мощностью 1 миллион тонн цементной продукции в год оснащён передовым оборудованием от ведущих мировых компаний, что позволит выпускать высококачественный цемент востребованных марок ПЦ-400, ПЦ-500, ПЦ-600 и сульфатостойкий портландцемент.

Особое внимание, как и на других аналогичных предприятиях, уделено экологичности производства и соблюдению всех необходимых норм, ибо защита окружающей среды выступает одним из неотъемлемых условий при строительстве крупных промышленных объектов в Туркменистане.

По завершении официальной части церемонии Президент Туркменистана вышел из зала заседаний и вручил хякиму Ахалского велаята ключи от новых автомобилей, подаренных жителям велаята по случаю нынешнего знаменательного события.

От имени счастливых жителей велаята выразив искреннюю признательность за подаренные новые современные автомобили, хяким Ахалского велаята адресовал Аркадаглы Герою Сердару и Герою-Аркадагу пожелания крепкого здоровья, долголетия и успехов во всех начинаниях на благо народа и Отчизны.

В торжественной обстановке, под аплодисменты собравшихся, глава государства перерезает символическую ленту.

В этот момент в небо взмывают разноцветные воздушные шары.

Затем Президент Туркменистана направился к зданию администрации.

По пути Аркадаглы Герой Сердар осмотрел территорию завода, заслушал информацию о функциональном предназначении возведённых здесь объектов.

Глава государства также с интересом ознакомился с выставкой разнообразной продукции, выпускаемой предприятиями отечественного строительно-промышленного комплекса.

Как известно, в соответствии с реализуемыми программами масштабной индустриализации в стране возведены и продолжают строиться крупные промышленные предприятия, которые, как и многочисленные объекты социально-бытового и иного назначения, диктуют необходимость их надёжного и бесперебойного обеспечения электричеством.

В этих целях ведётся большая, целенаправленная работа, в рамках которой во всех регионах страны сооружаются современные газотурбинные электростанции, оснащённые передовым оборудованием от известных мировых производителей, ЛЭП, распределительные электроподстанции, обновляется система энергообеспечения столицы, других городов и населённых пунктов. Благодаря этому, за последние годы производственные мощности энергетической промышленности возросли многократно, что позволяет не только полностью обеспечивать внутренние потребности страны, но и растущие объёмы экспорта туркменской электроэнергии за рубеж.

Большое внимание в эру Возрождения новой эпохи могущественного государства уделяется и развитию отечественной химической промышленности. Государственный концерн «Türkmenhimiýa» предпринимает последовательные шаги по увеличению производственных мощностей и цифровизации профильных предприятий, расширению спектра выпускаемой продукции, внедрению передовых технологий, обеспечению химической отрасли высококвалифицированными специалистами.

Определяющая роль в реализации масштабных программ социально-экономического развития страны по праву отводится строительной сфере.

Наблюдаемый строительный бум – одно из самых ярких свидетельств укрепления экономической мощи нашей прекрасной Родины.

Развёрнутое по всей стране масштабное строительство обусловило возрастающий спрос на качественные стройматериалы, дав толчок ускоренному развитию сферы их производства на основе местного сырья.

Широкий ассортимент производимых сегодня современных строительных и отделочных материалов наглядно демонстрирует, насколько успешно решаются в Туркменистане задачи, связанные с модернизацией строительной отрасли, созданием новых мощностей по выпуску стройматериалов, укреплением производственного и научно-технического потенциала отрасли.

Значительные средства государство направляет и на неуклонное совершенствование сферы автодорожного строительства. В соответствии с Указом Президента Туркменистана в феврале 2022 года было создано Государственное агентство по управлению строительством автомобильных дорог.

Осуществляемые в настоящее время масштабные проекты по прокладке новых и реконструкции уже существующих автотрасс напрямую способствуют формированию современной транспортно-логистической системы и укреплению позиции нашей страны в качестве ключевого транспортно-транзитного коридора на континенте.

На выставке Президент Туркменистана ознакомился с продукцией предприятия «Türkmen aýna önümleri» Министерства промышленности и строительного производства. Данное предприятие является современным производством, обеспеченным инновационной технологией. Здесь производится стекольная продукция различного вида, соответствующая мировым стандартам, в том числе тонированное стекло, ламинированное стекло, закалённое стекло, стеклопакеты. Кроме того, на предприятии, на основе технологии «float» производятся закалённые прозрачные и цветные стёкла.

В настоящее время под руководством Президента Туркменистана проводится масштабная работа по инновационному развитию и диверсификации строительного и промышленного комплексов страны, в результате чего укрепляется национальная экономика. Наряду с этим особое внимание уделяется повышению конкурентоспособности строительных материалов и расширению ассортимента, укреплению производственной, научно-технической базы строительной промышленности, внедрению эффективных механизмов ведения хозяйства.

К слову, на выставке широко представлена продукция хозяйственного общества «Aýdyň gijeler», созданная совместно с Министерством промышленности и строительного производства Туркменистана. Изучив передовой мировой опыт, оно выпускает импортозамещающую, соответствующую мировым стандартам продукцию.

Таким образом, представленная экспозиция дала наглядное представление об успехе начатых Национальным Лидером туркменского народа Героем-Аркадагом и успешно продолжаемых Президентом Сердаром Бердымухамедовым масштабных преобразований, нацеленных на приумножение экономической мощи и международного авторитета Отчизны во имя благополучной и счастливой жизни нашего народа.

Войдя в административное здание, Президент Сердар Бердымухамедов поднялся на третий этаж, где размещается центральный пункт управления производством, откуда регулируется весь технологический процесс.

Выразив от имени работников цементного завода глубокую признательность Президенту Туркменистана, а также Национальному Лидеру туркменского народа Герою-Аркадагу за постоянное внимание к вопросам развития промышленной и строительной отраслей и заботу о её тружениках, специалист обратился к главе государства с просьбой благословить сдачу в эксплуатацию второй очереди Бахерденского цементного завода.

Наступает кульминационный момент – нажатием кнопки на пульте управления Президент Сердар Бердымухамедов даёт старт работе крупного промышленного объекта.

Демонстрируется видеофильм о начале работы второй очереди Бахерденского цементного завода и запуске сложного технологического процесса производства.

Таким образом, новый гигант национальной экономики, специализирующийся на выпуске первоклассной продукции из отечественного сырья, начнёт скоро выдавать первые тонны цемента – главного компонента производственного конвейера строительной индустрии.

Нет сомнений, что высококачественная продукция сданного сегодня в эксплуатацию завода придаст ещё больший размах и ускорение строительству предприятий, коммуникаций и объектов социально-культурного назначения в рамках Государственных программ, в том числе Программы «Возрождение новой эпохи могущественного государства: Национальная программа социально-экономического развития Туркменистана в 2022–2052 годах», Программы Президента Туркменистана социально-экономического развития страны в 2022–2028 годах и других.

Выйдя из административного здания, глава государства вручил директору цементного завода ключи от выстроенной здесь же, на территории комплекса, новой мощной спецтехники, которая будет задействована на производстве.

По завершении торжества Президент Туркменистана, тепло попрощавшись с его участниками, проследовал на вертолётную площадку и отбыл к следующему новому объекту – водоочистному сооружению мощностью 30 тысяч кубометров воды в сутки, расположенному в посёлке Яшлык этрапа Ак бугдай Ахалского велаята.
