The sacred mother’s exemplary Alma mater
We have once again witnessed to hear the good news on the eve of the 140th anniversary of the founding of our white-marble city Ashgabat in the Year of Turkmenistan - the Motherland of Peace and Trust that each of our citizens inherited us handiwork made by our silver- haired grandmothers, who rendered their wishes on them. That also glorifies the uniqueness of the Turkmen people.
In the large assembly hall of the Institute of International Relations of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Turkmenistan, all female students, female teachers and all the women working in this educational institution watched a TV program, dedicated to the presentation of a beautiful Kurte, which was absorbed with all her kind heart wishes of Ogulabat eje, a mother of our esteemed President, to the State Museum of the State Cultural Center of Turkmenistan.
At the event the teachers, who made speeches focused on the role of the Turkmen women in the family, who are equated with the flag and also they underlined the fact that our Hero Arkadag pays a special respect of the work of our handicrafts of the women and the opportunities provided for the passing of handicrafts hand-to hand, generation to generation, the perfection and development of all things. Although the man in the family is the breadwinner, the woman is always support him, who can decorate her house, educate her child professionally and teach him to respect our national identity. The Turkmen people pay great attention to the upbringing of their children, and especially the upbringing of girls.
Her upbringing is like a flag fluttering in the air. Therefore, from an early age, they are able to teach them various aspects of craftsmanship, to give them a profession, to draw their attention, to form a habit of sticking to a task, and to turn it their character. Depending on their age, they try to take part to be active in the work of weaving alaja, making embroder, combing wool, spinning, weaving keche, reddening carpets, baking pishme and chelpek.
The method of upbringing has a profound effect on the human mind and behavior. Ogulabat eje, who was able to be a role model in all respects, the way of her speech, the way of her manners, the way of her dressing as well as to say in one word is to be a role model in all way in a delicate embroidery, preparing the red kurte in just twenty-two days is a great exemplary for all women and our younger generation in order to strengthen further family ties.
