“After approving the prepared samples in general and making slight amendments into them, the head of the state highlighted the creative approach toward designing the uniform for athletes and personnel of the Asian games”, “Turkmenistan: golden age” reports.
Then the President familiarized himself with the samples of vehicles which will be servicing passengers during the Games: taxis, buses and minibuses. One of them was used during his working visit around Ashgabat.
