The state information agency TDH reports that at the Cabinet session held on 7 May, 2021 President Gurbanguly Berdymukhammedov said that on the occasion of the holiday Gadyr gijesi he would hold an act of pardon.
The head of state signed the decree to pardon 982 Turkmen nationals and 53 foreign nationals.
