Сегодня в конференц-зале Министерства иностранных дел состоялась конференция «30 лет сотрудничества между Туркменистаном и Европейским Союзом: совместная работа во имя будущего».

Одним из приоритетов внешней политики нейтрального Туркменистана, инициированной Национальным Лидером туркменского народа, Председателем Халк Маслахаты Гурбангулы Бердымухамедовым и последовательно реализуемой под руководством Президента Сердара Бердымухамедова, является развитие конструктивного взаимодействия с авторитетными международными организациями.

Наглядным примером тому служит традиционный диалог с Европейским Союзом (ЕС). С момента установления в 1993 году сотрудничества накоплен позитивный опыт партнёрства в различных направлениях – политико-дипломатическом, торгово-экономическом и культурно-гуманитарном.

На торжественном открытии конференции, состоявшейся при участии заместителя Председателя Кабинета Министров, руководителей и представителей дипломатических миссий и международных организаций, аккредитованных в нашей стране, ряда министерств и ведомств, средств массовой информации, прозвучали Государственный гимн Туркменистана и гимн ­Европейского Союза.

В ходе пленарного заседания констатировалось позитивное развитие многопланового сотрудничества между Туркменистаном и ЕС, которое за последние три десятилетия обрело поступательный и предметный характер.

Как отмечалось, с открытием в 2019 году официального представительства Европейского Союза в Туркменистане двусторонние отношения получили новую динамику и содержание.

Подчёркивалось, что на протяжении многих лет взаимодействие с ЕС углубляется в рамках действующих специализированных проектов и программ, направленных на решение приоритетных задач дальнейшего экономического и социального развития Туркменистана, в частности, Совместного комитета «Европейский Союз–Туркменистан», Межпарламентского диалога, Диалога по правам человека, консультативных встреч между внешнеполитическими ведомствами и по отдельным вопросам партнёрства.

Кроме того, Туркменистан и Европейский Союз плодотворно сотрудничают на региональном уровне, в том числе в рамках Диалога «Европейский Союз–Центральная Азия».

Все эти годы традиционно дружественный диалог между нашей страной и ЕС успешно развивается на основе принципов взаимного доверия и открытости. В данной связи также было особо отмечено, что в последнее время ещё более активный характер обрели контакты на высшем уровне.

В своём выступлении Специальный представитель Европейского союза по Центральной Азии г-жа Тери Хакала отметила, что двусторонние отношения регулируются Временным торговым соглашением (2010 г.) до ратификации Соглашения о партнёрстве и сотрудничестве с Европейским парламентом. В рамках этого Соглашения ЕС и Туркменистан проводят ежегодные встречи Совместного комитета для рассмотрения ключевых аспектов взаимосвязей, в частности, в торговле и экономике, реализации стратегии ЕС–Центральная Азия, политических и экономических событий.

Главной темой обсуждения на пленарном заседании стали достижения и перспективы взаимодействия между двумя сторонами.

Представители проектов ЕС выступили с презентациями, рассказав об инициативах и программных проектах, которые были реализованы или находятся в процессе осуществления в Туркменистане благодаря сотрудничеству с Европейским Союзом. Они подчеркнули важность партнёрства в области устойчивого развития, транспорта, окружающей среды и др.

В рамках форума состоялось подписание Меморандума о взаимопонимании между Министерством энергетики Туркменистана, Государственным концерном «Türkmengaz» и Германским обществом по международному сотрудничеству (GIZ). Предварила церемонию презентация новых сов­местных проектов: «Туркменистан: повышение устойчивости и интеграции торговли», осуществляемого Международным торговым центром; содействие ЕС в «зелёном» развитии Туркменистана; «Политический диалог и климатические действия на 2024–2028 годы.».

На тематических сессиях обсуждены вопросы развития межпарламентских связей между нашей страной и ЕС, взаимодействия в области безопасности, в сферах торговли, образования, «зелёной» энергетики, а также претворения в жизнь наиболее успешно реализованных программ в данных направлениях в Туркменистане.

В этот же день в здании МИД была организована выставка, посвящённая деятельности Европейского Союза в нашей стране.

Таким образом, в ходе нынешней конференции подчёркивалась не только историческая значимость установления дипломатических связей, но и важность сотрудничества в различных облас­тях между Европейским ­Союзом и Туркменистаном.

Национальный Лидер туркменского народа с удовлетворением отметил интерес подрастающего поколения к коням и побеседовал с ребятами. Увлечение молодёжи скакунами свидетельствует о продолжении на современном уровне традиций коневодства, которые наш народ совершенствовал на протяжении своей истории.

Мастер-коневод Герой-Аркадаг во время конной прогулки детей по манежу рассказал об особенностях конного спорта, его истории и нынешнем развитии, а также поинтересовался увлечениями ребят. Особенно отрадно, что нашлись те из них, кто решил стать сейисом, наездником, научным специалистом в этой области, ветеринаром.

Безгранично почитающий скакунов Герой-Аркадаг выразил уверенность, что дети, которые любят проводить свободное время, ухаживая за лошадьми, в будущем станут известными сейисами, приумножат славу ахалтекинцев, усовершенствуют на научной основе национальные традиции коневодства, а может будут членами группы национальных конных игр «Galkynyş».

Здесь в одном из живописных уголков, считающихся издревле местом обитания всемирно известных ахалтекинских коней, благодаря огромным усилиям Национального Лидера туркменского народа вырос новый город, основанный на инновационных архитектурных решениях. Построенные и ныне действующие в городе Международная академия коневодства имени Аба Аннаева, Научно-производственный центр коневодства, Государственный конный цирк имени Гёроглы, Международный ахалтекинский конноспортивный комплекс и современная конюшня для содержания 600 ахалтекинских скакунов придали мощный импульс дальнейшему эффективному развитию профильной отрасли на базе передовых достижений науки.

Дети с интересом слушали мастера-коневода Аркадага. Катаясь верхом на ретивых скакунах на таких современных аренах, как в Международной академии коневодства имени Аба Аннаева, они заверили, что внесут достойный вклад в развитие национального конного спорта.

Предложение Героя-Аркадага было принято с энтузиазмом.

В этой связи отмечалось, что Фонд будет оказывать последовательную поддержку в получении детьми профессий, связанных с коневодством. Это является ярким свидетельством отеческой заботы мастера-коневода Аркадага о подрастающем поколении, которое хочет связать свою жизнь со скакунами.

Вице-президент Ассоциации, приведя поговорку «At – myrat», выразил уверенность, что благодаря заботе Героя-Аркадага и Президента Туркменистана мечты ребят о желаемой профессии сбудутся, и ещё раз высказал Герою-Аркадагу признательность за проявляемую поистине отеческую заботу.

Concluding the meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers via the digital system, President Serdar Berdimuhamedov wished everyone good health, family well-being and great success in their work for the further prosperity of the sovereign Homeland.

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.
