New Year's holiday trade has started in the cities of Ashgabat and Arkadag, as well as in the velayats of Turkmenistan. By order of the President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov, it is designed to ensure an abundance of goods for the holidays.

As the head of state emphasized at the next meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers, there should be a variety of products on the tables of Turkmen families.

“Seating a rich dastarhan with a variety of treats is one of the good traditions of our people. On holidays, every Turkmen family prepares dishes of national cuisine and receives dear guests to celebrate special events together,” comments the publication “Turkmenistan: The Golden Age.”

It should be noted that on the eve of the New Year and International Day of Neutrality, mobile retail outlets began operating throughout the country. They are located near central markets and within walking distance from residential areas.
