Chizhikov from Russia and M. Bekerman from Great Britain made a thematic review.

During the seminar it was noted that the democratic, legal and secular Turkmen state consistently forms a socially oriented market economy. Given the requirements of the time, the legislation of Turkmenistan is being improved in the interests of man and citizen. In this context, there is a need for constructive coverage of these processes in the media and, consequently, raising the awareness of press officers about the principles of the rule of law, in particular on the activities of the judiciary.
