Our peoples have really deep, historical roots of living together and interacting.
In Central Asia, including on the territory of Turkmenistan, there were ancient agricultural centers such as the Jeytun culture of the 6th-5th millennium BC. Here they began to smelt copper, breed cattle, laid the foundation for irrigation farming in the region.
The first state, the center of which was in the territory of Turkmenistan, was Parthia with its capital in the city of Nisa. Another important center was the city of Merv.
In the future, the Turkmen lands were part of the Central Asian states of the Tahirids, Samanids, and Seljuks. In the XIII century, the Turkmens were part of the State of Khorezmshahs and, together with the ancestors of the Uzbeks, fiercely resisted the Mongol troops of Genghis Khan.
Uzbeks and Turkmens have traditional friendly and even family roots. We are bound by a common history, culture, religious values, traditions and customs. Relations between the heads of the two states are based on personal respect and trust.
Therefore, it is no coincidence that one of the priorities of bilateral relations is the cultural and humanitarian sphere.
There is a huge mutual interest in the arts and literature of the fraternal countries. Cultural figures of both countries, science and education work closely and take an active part in all events organized on the territory of Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan.
In order to preserve the traditions, language and culture of the Turkmens, from the first years of independence, the Republican Turkmen Cultural Center was established in our country, which unites 6 Turkmen cultural centers in different regions of Uzbekistan.- Uz Daily
