Look! We live in brotherhood and friendship with our neighbour Iran, with our Uzbek and Kazak brothers, and with Afghanistan.

Citizen! Firstly, your relations with your neighbours and relatives should be brotherly. Brotherhood should prevail in the relations between one village and the next, one tribe and the next, one town and the next, one city and the next.

If our feeling of unity and integrity begins in each family, it will be very strong.

Unity and integrity are like the hearth. Unity and integrity are like a meal. May your hearth be happy and your meal nourishing!

Unity and integrity are the treasury of the state! The treasury belongs to the people! The people who cannot preserve their treasury will lose their senses.

Unity and integrity form the eternal and fundamental principle of the Türkmen nation.

Beloved Türkmen!

Türkmen, your ancestors were generous people; generosity and bravery were the flag of our ancestors.

“The life of a man is thirty years,” is one of the most celebrated proverbs of the Türkmens. Our brave youths have died in wars in the contemporary era. A brave man is ready to accept his fate. He views one of our own who thinks “In order to stay alive I can even be despicable,” as being even lower than our enemies.

The Türkmen have always respected brave men.
