“The legal status of the neutrality of our independent state has been recognized twice by the international community. Turkmenistan’s policy of positive neutrality is based on peaceful, good-neighborly, fraternal, and friendly relations. The political course implemented by our country increases the authority of the Turkmen state in the world.
