This land which Allah, the most Exalted, protects is called Türkmenistan: Free and Impartial Türkmenistan.

I can see happy days in the future. I believe that nothing is able to damage our happiness today and in the future and I am always proud of our statute of impartiality.

(159)

Our way of independence and impartiality is the way that is composed of the affection, love, wish, desire, and fundamental aims of our Türkmen nation; and is the way that provides us with a golden life in the golden century. This way is the eternal way of the Türkmens.

When I declared our status of permanent neutrality to the whole world on the occasion of the celebration of the 50^th Anniversary of the United Nations, I mentioned our legacy to the civilizations which have developed in that terrain which was occupied by the Oguzs, Türkmens and Seljuks. Today, our conciliatory nature constitutes a good example. Our peace-loving and conciliatory character is not peculiar only to today, however, and those countries, which had many relations with us in the past know this best. Therefore, our neighbors and other states in our region were first to support our status of neutrality. Later, all states showed their support for this policy.

Constant Neutrality was the second foundation we achieved on independence.

It was Oguz Han’s wish and prayer uttered five thousand years ago that our land may be at peace forever. Our ancestors’ belief was always that our blue sky should be dominated by peace and tranquility. We became confident that we could survive on earth by adopting and enacting this faith of our ancestors as the fundamental principle of our state. Since the very first day, we have known that peace and trust are the secrets of life on earth. Developing our good-will further, we started the Open Door Policy in the economic realm and we accepted neutral status in our foreign policy. Believing that integration with the world depends on our being committed to it and loving everybody and that this is possible first of all by ensuring peace in our own country, we regarded the foundation of the Türkmen State as one of our primary duties. All the countries of the world, starting with the neighboring countries in the region accepted the rightness of our path and started to support us. By a unanimous vote of 185 states, on 12 December 1995 the Central Assembly of the United Nations gave our state the status of Permanent Neutrality. Thus, for the first time in history, the neutrality of a state was legalized and we became officially the only neutral state in the world. We put the olive bough, which is the symbol of peace in the United Nations’ flag, on our green flag.

(241-242)

Our independence and neutrality illuminate our Golden century and are illuminated by our national values. Reviving with Ruhnama, God willing, we can alter our future in the Golden Age. In the Golden century, in the 21^st century, our main aim is to build a Türkmen nation which can be a model for the entire world. With our independence, which lets us now cut our own cloth to fit, and our neutrality which spreads the sign of peace in the world, our nation will also prove itself a model in human relations by displaying its affluent spirit.

Independent and Neutral Türkmenistan! You are beloved because we found you in this sacred land.

Independent and Neutral Türkmenistan! As the world endures, you will live, because we are dedicating our lives to moulding you with love and affection, to adorning you with sincerity.

Independent and Neutral Türkmenistan! You are blessed because you are the state which our ancestors, though it was their hearty wish, could not achieve in eight centuries. We have built you on the wishes of our ancestors.

Independent and Neutral Türkmenistan! The Türkmen miracle and consecration starts with you. Only Allah is over you.

(245)

Thanks to Allah, and by His Grace and Mercy, in the blessed country of our ancestors we established a new independent state after many centuries. We prepared everything needed for each of our citizens and introduced our state to the other nations of the world and developed countries, and had it recognized. From now on, may our state be stable and eternal. I thank Allah, the Most Merciful, a thousand times for allowing me to gain for my country the neutral status which is a special privilege in the world.

The National Council of Türkmenistan that convened on 27 December 1999 accepted the document, “A Declaration on Türkmenistan’s Foreign Policy of 21^st Century that Depends on Neutrality, Peace-loving, Good Neighborhood Relations, and Democratic Principles”. In this historic document it is declared that Türkmenistan as a neutral state has and employs a foreign policy related to love and respect for human life, full respect for democracy, and protection of human rights and freedom. These principles are the basis of Türkmen foreign policy and diplomacy.

(284)

Türkmens should be rich in love, compassion and mercy. Independent and Eternally Impartial Türkmenistan should be a country of friendship and brotherhood.

May the Türkmen stand as long as the world stands. May Türkmenistan stand as long as the world stands. May the independent and impartial Türkmenistan last forever!
