ASHGABAT -- Turkmen troops recently obtained new uniforms and vehicles for participation in the October 27 Independence Day parade in Ashgabat, a source at the Defence Ministry told Caravanserai.

The parade will enable the military to demonstrate weapons and vehicles that it purchased this year, the source said. This year marks the 25th anniversary of Turkmen independence.

Turkmenistan this year has fortified its Afghan border to deter any Taliban intent on attacking Turkmen forces. Six Turkmen border guards were killed in two ambushes in 2014.
