In 1995, Turkmenistan proclaimed its Neutrality, marking the beginning of a new chapter in its history. This declaration enabled the republic to strengthen its position, achieve significant developmental milestones, and fulfill long-held aspirations for freedom. The Turkmen people began to cultivate their culture, language, religion, and traditions.

On the Day of Neutrality of Turkmenistan, a friendship evening "We Are Strong When We Are Together!" was held at dormitory No. 4 of Euphrosyne Polotskaya State University of Polotsk.
