Inclusion of Novruz in 2009 year to the UNESCO list of outstanding examples of the spiritual and cultural values ​​of mankind led to further enrichment of the cultural heritage of the peoples of the world.

The United Nations General Assembly February on 23, 2010 year supported the initiative of many countries to celebrate Novruz as an international holiday. Since then, on March 21 of each year, Novruz internationally celebrated as a great holiday.

The organized holding in our country, under the wise leadership of the President of Turkmenistan, in 2013, the International Day of Novruz, was clear evidence of friendly relations between the countries of the region, as well as the triumph of peace and unity.

In the year “Turkmenistan — home of Neutrality”, Novruz is celebrated in our country as a holiday of strengthening peace between peoples, affirming the principles of friendship and fraternity.
