Turkmenistan President Serdar Berdimuhamedov noted that the Muslim holiday Eid al-Adha coincided with the opening ceremony of Arkadag (Opora), the first “smart” city of the republic, named after his predecessor and father, Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov. Government newspaper reports “Neutral Turkmenistan” referring to the congratulatory telegram sent by the President to the public on the occasion of the Eid.
“The fact that Eid al-Adha coincided with the grand opening of the first phase of the development of the stately important city of Arkadag gives inexhaustible moral strength to the work carried out for the welfare of the country,” the appeal says.
Berdimuhamedov also celebrated the holiday of the peoples of Turkmenistan.
Arkadag’s grand opening ceremony will take place on June 29, Berdimuhamedow Sr.’s birthday. Arkadag offers eco-friendly transportation (electric buses and electric cars), solar panels, etc. It should be the first “smart” city of Turkmenistan.
