An exclusive interview began with this question, which was given to Turkmenportal by the designer of «Tekmil»  Myratgeldi Berkeliyev.

«It is a great honor and great responsibility for us that the esteemed President entrusted us to build and equip the pavilion of Turkmenistan», says M.

- Yes, I am pleased to tell you about our national pavilion at the World Exhibition in Dubai. EXPO 2020 will be divided into three large thematic areas: “Opportunity”, “Mobility” and “Stability”. The Turkmen Pavilion will be located at the main entrance.

1581 square meters were allocated for the Pavilion of Turkmenistan, of which 976 square meters were provided for its building. Our pavilion will look like this: on the facade there will be an artistic and monumental image of the Akhal-Teke horse, created from LED lighting. On the right side of the pavilion, the wall will be stylized in the image of the Turkmen carpet, and on the left side - in the image of the Turkmen yurt "Gara oi", which at night will be transformed into a huge screen.

According to the project, on the roof of the pavilion there are depicted göls, ornaments of Turkmen carpets, as well as the inscription “Turkmenistan” for the entire fifty-meter-long pavilion with luminous lighting in the evening.

A screen is installed at the entrance to the pavilion, which will broadcast information about Turkmenistan. Next will be located two touch screen.

The main hall on the first floor will be presented in a three-dimensional multimedia format, on which images will be alternated, conveying information about the nature of Turkmenistan and the achievements of our country's industry.

In the center of the hall there will be a hydraulic system, which will activate symbolic models of wheat stacks and cotton bushes. A kinetic system will be installed on the ceiling, bringing lighting devices into mechanical action.

On the second floor of the pavilion there will be a stage for performances and events, a souvenir shop, as well as a cafe.
