In May 2024, the 300th anniversary of the birth of the great Turkmen classical poet Magtymguly Fragi will be widely celebrated in Turkmenistan. The literary heritage of the outstanding thinker and poet belongs not only to the Turkmen people, but to the whole world. In this regard, the cultural and humanitarian cooperation of Turkmenistan with foreign countries in the field of studying the literary heritage of the brilliant thinker has intensified[1,2]. Thus, holding various festive joint events in honor of the anniversary of Magtymguly Fragi in accordance with the Resolution of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan "On the wide celebration of the 300th anniversary of the great Turkmen poet and thinker Magtymguly Fragi."
In June 2023, a seminar and literary evening were organized at Ningxia University of the People's Republic of China, dedicated to the 300th anniversary of the birth of Magtymguly, where teachers and students exchanged their knowledge about the life and work of the poet, read his poems in Chinese, Turkmen and Russian. .
During this seminar, a short survey was conducted among students: "How do you understand Magtymguly?" As a result, all opinions boiled down to the fact that, filled with selfless and sincere love for his Motherland and people, the great poet called on the Turkmen tribes to unity. As noted, the deep ideological content of Magtymguly's works is one of the components of the powerful philosophy of the countries of the East. The concepts of good and evil that he reveals in his works, his calm observation of human life, practical philosophical instructions - all this has a pronounced coloring of Eastern philosophy.
Therefore, his poetry is very close to the Chinese reader. A collection of Magtymguly's poems was translated into Chinese and published in this friendly country. Magtymguly's poems represent the richest treasury of the Turkmen national spirit and national culture of the Turkmen people [3]. In his poems, the poet describes such excellent qualities of the Turkmen people as kindness, hard work, strength, courage, perseverance and optimism. Magtymguly's poetry gives a deep understanding and insight into the national spirit of the Turkmen people. His poems have always played an important role in the formation of the Turkmen national character and national spirit. Thus, Magtymguly's poetry can help modern Chinese youth become more deeply acquainted with the Turkmen national character and culture of Turkmenistan.
A concert dedicated to the 300th anniversary of the birth of Magtymguly Fragi is planned to be held at the Museum and Exhibition Complex of the Russian Academy of Arts. The large-scale dedication concert "The Fount of the Mind of Magtymguly Fraga" will be attended by cultural and artistic figures of the Russian Federation and Turkmenistan. The mono-opera "Monologues of Magtymguly Fragi", written by the famous Turkmen composer Mamed Huseynov, will be performed here. A large-scale vocal and instrumental work for soprano, cello and orchestra was created in the period 2007-2013 The monoopera includes five parts, which are based on the poet's poems "Calling", "Beginnings", "Sadness", "Truth", "Good and Evil" [4] containing philosophical reflections in poetic form about human life, fate, and spiritual quests.
In the Republic of Armenia, at the Yerevan State University, a lecture was held dedicated to the work of the great Turkmen poet and thinker Magtymguly Fragi. Teachers from the Turkmen State University named after Magtymguly gave lectures on the work of Magtymguly, during which students became familiar with the biography of the poet, his creative heritage and patriotic poems. Of particular interest was the artistic style of the language and the form of Magtymguly's poetry, as well as his ideological views.
It should be noted that strong partnerships have been established between the two leading universities of Turkmenistan and Armenia. As part of this cooperation, conferences, forums, round tables, lectures and master classes are regularly held with the participation of faculty and students from both countries. There is an active exchange of experience with the aim of further developing interaction between universities of the two friendly states.
A series of classes on Magtymguly's humanitarian views was held at the University of Tsukuba and Higashiosaka High School in Japan, which included lectures by Turkmen students who are studying at leading Japanese higher education institutions. Japanese students also actively participated in the events, expanding their knowledge of Turkmen culture. As part of the educational cycle, the University of Tsukuba also organized an exhibition dedicated to the works of
Magtymguly Fragi and the national heritage of Turkmenistan. The events held contributed to strengthening cultural ties between the two countries. In March 2024, Geneva hosted a solemn event dedicated to the 300th anniversary of the birth of the outstanding Turkmen poet and thinker Magtymguly Fragi, organized by the Permanent Mission of Turkmenistan to the UN Office in Geneva at the Palais des Nations. The cultural event was attended by high-ranking representatives of the UN, UNESCO, diplomats from the countries of the region and Europe, representatives of international organizations, NGOs, the media and the Turkmen diaspora. The speakers noted Magtymguly's humanistic ideas about peace, friendship and mutual respect between peoples, his contribution to the formation of the Turkmen nation and the significance of his heritage as part of world culture. As part of the event, books of Magtymguly's poems in different languages and figurines of the poet were donated to the UN Office in Geneva. Video materials about his life and work were also shown, and an exhibition of decorative and applied arts was organized.
Thus, although the world and social environment have undergone significant changes over the past several centuries, the importance of the great Turkmen poet-thinker and his poetry has not diminished. Magtymguly's ideas became even more valuable for building a harmonious personality and forming a unified national state.
