The poetic challenge in honor of the 300th anniversary of Magtymguly, launched by the Embassy of Turkmenistan in Brussels, did not go unnoticed by European diplomats.

Earlier, we told how Magtymguly's lines were heard in different languages in the very heart of Europe – then local residents and tourists took part in the challenge, who read the poem "Turkmenistan" ("The Future of Turkmenistan").

Now officials of the European Union and various European institutions have joined the poetic relay race under the name of the Turkmen genius. They read out Magtymguly’s poem "Ili gözlär" ("Homesickness") in English, German, Spanish and Dutch.
