The awarding of veterans, widows of war participants and home front workers with the jubilee medal "To the 75th anniversary of Victory in the great Patriotic war of 1941-1945" took place in the city of Turkmenbashi, the newspaper "Neutral Turkmenistan" reports.

The awards ceremony was held in the large hall of the Cultural and sports complex of the Turkmenbashi complex of oil refineries. It was attended by deputies of the Mejlis of Turkmenistan, heads of hyakimliks of the city and velayat, representatives of party and public organizations, soldiers of the garrison, elders and youth.

The audience heartily congratulated veterans on the 75th anniversary of the great Victory. The speeches repeatedly emphasized that in the memory of our people this period will forever remain an unparalleled feat of our grandfathers, grandmothers, fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters who forged a victory at the front and in the rear that determined the future of all mankind. They noted the huge contribution to the defeat of the fascist hordes of Turkmenistan, which laid 740 thousand lives of its citizens on the altar of the Fatherland, and the outstanding role of the country and the seaside city as a transport and transit hub.

Hundreds of industrial enterprises and millions of tons of civilian and military cargo, including those of strategic defense significance, were transferred from the occupied lands to the East through Turkmenistan. The country passed through its military units and hundreds of thousands of refugees, heating, caring for them, employing them and fraternally sharing everything it had. All speeches ended with heartfelt gratitude to the heroes of the occasion, who bravely fought at the front and courageously kept a permanent labor watch in the rear. Wishes of happiness, well-being and good health were constantly addressed to them.

On behalf of the President of Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, the military Commissar of the Balkan velayat presented commemorative medals to veterans, home front workers and widows of soldiers who fell for their Country on the battlefields of the great Patriotic war. Valuable and memorable gifts were presented to the heroes of the day under loud applause. In their honor, a concert of leading soloists and the best creative teams of the seaside city was held.
