States make efforts to educate people and make them aware of being a member of a state, and to protect and provide people with happiness.

All religions, first and foremost, and then literature and art which aims at the good of mankind put forth an exemplary model of man.

The main objective of our state is to educate excellent people who will be praised in world literatures, who have good spirits, who are generous, brave and bold, and who set great goals. Every member of our nation should be comfortable. But they should first be knowledgeable, consistent and have a progressive view of the world.

The Indian dervishes, Muslim Sufis, and Tibetan monks make contact with Allah the Almighty through their words of praise. They say repeatedly that this is the most pleasurable thing to do in the world. We Türkmens set out into the world with our own slogan too. Our slogan is to lead a life which is spiritually high. There is no substitute for the pleasure of a high spiritual life.

There are so many awards and titles in the world that grant man reputation and raise him to high ranks. Among such titles are “hero labourer”, “artist of the state”, “esteemed artist” etc. There are medals awarded in return for services rendered to the nation and the country. But there are no ranks, medals, titles or honorary designations that relate to the exemplary man. But such titles are necessary. I hereby establish the medal of “Virtuousness.” Let us award this medal to people who bear the most humane qualities, who win the hearts of the majority and who share their love and affection.
