In the Era of Revival of the New Epoch of a Powerful State, and in our year proclaimed as the International Year of Peace and Trust, our Independent and Permanently Neutral country, under the wise leadership of the National Leader of the Turkmen people, Hero Arkadag, and our Esteemed President, is confidently moving toward new heights of development. Based on the mottos put forward by our President, “The Motherland is the people” and “The State is the people,” large-scale socio-economic reforms are being carried out across the country. Hero Arkadag is making great efforts to ensure that our people live in happiness and prosperity. Our current days are filled with a festive spirit. This year is especially celebratory — the 30th anniversary of our Permanent Neutrality is being widely commemorated. One of the significant dates was May 9 — the celebration of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War of 1941–1945. Hero Arkadag took part in the ceremonies, visited the “People’s Memory” memorial complex located in the Bekrewe area of Ashgabat, laid flowers in honor of those who fell during the war, and paid tribute to their memory. On the same day, Hero Arkadag also familiarized himself with the ongoing construction work in the capital. A moment that filled the professors and students of the Turkmen State Institute of Architecture and Construction with pride was Hero Arkadag’s visit to the construction site of the institute’s new building, where he reviewed the progress of the project. The complex, being built on a site of more than 30 hectares, will include various types of buildings. Hero Arkadag also met with workers on the site, spoke with them, gave relevant instructions, and evaluated new project proposals. It should be noted that on August 25, 2023, during a meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers of Turkmenistan, our Esteemed President signed a decree on the construction of the new building complex for the institute. On September 1 of the same year, on the occasion of Knowledge and Student Day, the foundation for the construction was ceremonially laid with blessings. Currently, the construction is being actively carried out by the private company “Ajayyp gurlusyk”
The complex will include: A 15-story main building, four 6-story academic buildings, six 5-story dormitories for students, two 5-story residential buildings with 40 apartments each for faculty, a 3-story conference hall for 1,000 people, a library for 1,000 users, a venue for cultural events, a 2-story exhibition and training-production center, a dining hall for 1,000 people, a sports complex and outdoor sports fields, a parking lot for 440 vehicles, green zones (8.24 hectares), roads and walkways (17.32 hectares), and other facilities.
The construction is planned to be completed by September 1, 2026, and the complex will be designed to accommodate 5,000 students. This project is being implemented within the framework of the Presidential Program for the socio-economic development of Turkmenistan for 2022–2028. As is well known, such projects are possible only in an economically strong state with wise, creative leadership that cares deeply for its people. The construction work being carried out under the leadership of Hero Arkadag and the Esteemed President is aimed at developing the country’s scientific and educational system and creating vast opportunities for youth. This political address highlights the successes achieved on Turkmenistan’s current path of development, the great aspirations of the state, and the opportunities being created for the younger generation.
