The state commission on the population census held a meeting in Ashgabat. The meeting agenda focused on the issues of organization of the forthcoming complete population and housing census in Turkmenistan in December of the current year in accordance with the Resolution of President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov.
As is known, the Turkmen leader pays particular attention to the issues of preparations for this important social and political action. In particular, during the meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers of Turkmenistan and video conference held last week, President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov underlined the paramount significance of the complete population census within the social and economic development of the country, implementation of the main goal of the new historical epoch embodied under the motto “The state for a person!”.
According to the Turkmen leader, the fundamental changes taken place in all spheres of the state and social life of the country within the last years will be reflected in the outcomes of the forthcoming census. The statistical data, in particular the population size, demographics, social and living conditions of the local citizens to be received as a result of the census, will serve as a foundation for development and successful implementation of the efficient national reformatory programmes.
