On 27 October 1991, Turkmenistan declared its independence, taking its place among the free and sovereign states of the Turk world. On the 35th anniversary of that declaration, the Global Council of Turk Communities and Heritage extends its warmest congratulations to the people of Turkmenistan.
We wish the people of Turkmenistan peace, prosperity and continued success, and we look forward to strengthening the cultural ties that unite Turk communities around the world.
