In the Era of Revival of the New Epoch of the Powerful State, thanks to the unprecedented efforts of Hero-Arkadag and Arkadagly Hero Serdar, large-scale work is being carried out to study and promote the nation's national values, cultural heritage, and natural wealth around the world. In the national heritage created by the Turkmen people over millennia, a special place is occupied by the Turkmen Alabays, inextricably linked with our glorious history.

On the occasion of the widely celebrated Turkmen Alabay Day in Turkmenistan, a scientific and practical conference titled “Valiant Turkmen Alabay – A Wonderful Gift of Sacred Nature” was held at the Turkmen Agricultural Institute. The conference was actively attended by professors, researchers, and students of the institute, who delivered valuable presentations on the history of our wise Alabays, as well as their biological and breeding features.

As noted during the scientific and practical conference, the Turkmen Alabay is not merely a domestic pet or a shepherd's companion, but a vivid symbol of such noble qualities of our people as loyalty, bravery, courage, and respect for friendship. During the conference, detailed scientific reports were presented on several important topics in the fields of history, veterinary medicine, and animal husbandry.

The speakers at the conference highly appreciated the role of Alabays in world culture, emphasizing the growing importance of their systematic study and promotion at the international level.

At the conclusion of the conference, the participants expressed their heartfelt gratitude to the National Leader of the Turkmen people, Hero-Arkadag, and the Esteemed President, Arkadagly Serdar, for their great support and the wide opportunities provided to preserve, hand down to future generations, and promote our national heritage worldwide.
