Federal Minister for Culture, Syed Jamal Shah said that Magtymguly Fragi was a great poet and thinker, who is a strong voice of peace and unity not only for the people of Turkmenistan but also in our region. Fragi’s poetry and thoughts can be a significant development for mutual integration in our region, he said, adding that there is no specific country for poetry and music and that poetry and music are an important means of communication among people through which a new era of mutual unity and peace can be started in our region.<\/span><\/p>\n
