On 17 March, large-scale celebrations were held in Tbilisi to mark International Nowruz Day, with the support of the city council. The festivities were attended by diplomatic missions from Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Turkey, as well as representatives of diaspora communities and cultural organisations, according to the news website Asmannews.

The exhibition by the Embassy of Turkmenistan attracted particular interest: guests viewed works by the President of Turkmenistan, Serdar Berdimuhamedov, and the National Leader of the Turkmen people, Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan, Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, as well as traditional costumes, jewellery, carpets and souvenirs, as well as sampling national cuisine and exploring the themed stand.

Nowruz, symbolising the renewal of nature and the beginning of new life, unites different cultures and strengthens mutual understanding. The celebrations concluded with a concert featuring national music and dance.
