On April 18, in the holy month of Ramadan, at the age of 89, the father of the President of Turkmenistan, Myalikguly Berdimuhamedov, passed away. The Turkmen people received this bitter news with deep sorrow.

 The rich life path of Myalikguly Berdimuhamedov, who dedicated his life to his native people and beloved Motherland, is an unparalleled example of high humanism. Myalikguly Berdimuhamedov's childhood fell on the years of the harsh war of the last century.

Myalikguly Berdimuhamedov, whose life has become an exemplary school for the entire nation, especially for the younger generation, was born on August 12, 1932 in the village of Birleshik-1, Geoktepe Etrap. Shortly before leaving school in his native village, he decided to follow in his father's footsteps: from 1950 he worked as a librarian, and later - as a primary school teacher at this school.

In 1952 he was called up for military service. During his service, Myalikguly Berdimuhamedov graduated from a junior officer training school in the city of Chirchik, Uzbekistan, and in 1954 served as a junior lieutenant in a mountain rifle military unit stationed in the city of Osh, the Kyrgyz Republic.

In 1956, Myalikguly Berdimuhamedov worked at a school in the Babarap village.

From June 1958 to 1982, he held various positions in the Ministry of the Internal Affairs.

Over the years of work in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Myalikguly Berdimuhamedov held various positions in the cities of Dashoguz, Mary, Ashgabat.

Having retired in 1982 with the rank of lieutenant colonel, he worked as a school teacher for many years. He worked at the National Institute of Education, the Scientific Research Institute of Pedagogical Sciences, the Department of Education of the city of Ashgabat and in other places, proving himself to be a creative person who faultlessly fulfilled tasks.

In February 2012, in accordance with the Resolution of the Mejlis of Turkmenistan, Ashgabat Military Unit No. 1001 was named after Myalikguly Berdimuhamedov, a man whose life path became an example for many military personnel.

In November 2020, by the Decree of the Mejlis of Turkmenistan, the Choganly residential complex of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Turkmenistan in the Bagtyyarlyk Etrap in Ashgabat was named after Myalikguly Berdimuhamedov.

All this vividly proves the manifestation of respect for the great man, who devoted his entire conscious life to serving the people and his Motherland.

The memory of the faithful son of the Fatherland Myalikguly Berdimuhamedov will remain in our hearts forever. May his soul rest in paradise, may Allah accept him into his place.
