"Your Excellency!

Allow me, on behalf of the Astrakhan Turkmen, to congratulate you on your birthday!

We sincerely wish you long life and fruitful work in the name of the further prosperity of the historical homeland of our ancestors – Turkmenistan.

The Turkmens living in the Astrakhan region treat you with great respect and enormous gratitude as the Leader of the Turkmens of the whole world. Your paternal care for all compatriots, including those living far from their historical homeland, inspires and strengthens our unity.

Dear National Leader of the Turkmen people!

We, Astrakhan Turkmens, remember your gift with special warmth – the magnificent school named after Magtymguly Fragi in the village of Funtovo in the Astrakhan region. Thanks to your priceless gift, our children have the opportunity to receive a quality education, freely study the history and culture of their people, and preserve their native language. Parents are calm about the future of their children, because the modern infrastructure of the school allows for the comprehensive development of the children's talents and the creation of a comfortable environment for creativity and sports.

May the Almighty reward you for your kindness and care, and we offer prayers for you!

Your peace-loving policy, good-neighborly relations with Russia, as well as personal friendship with the President of the Russian Federation open up unique opportunities for us to preserve the national identity and cultural heritage of our people. Creating conditions for studying the native language, preserving cultural traditions, obtaining reliable information about the events and successes of Turkmenistan allows us to be proud of our historical homeland.

We are proud that Turkmenistan does not remain indifferent to the problems of other states. Maintaining neutrality, it provides humanitarian aid to fraternal countries in connection with various disasters and natural calamities.

Dear Gurbanguly Malikgulyevich!

You are a great statesman with a huge heart. May your good and kind deeds return to you a hundredfold!

We wish prosperity to our historical Motherland – Turkmenistan, and to you – fruitful work as Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan!

With sincere respect and best wishes

Fauzia Kadyrova, Chairman of the Council of the Astrakhan regional public organization for the preservation and development of Turkmen culture "Turkmenistan".
