With the purchase of over 15 kilos of flour a pack of Aý nur per household hand-washed detergent for the price of 10 manats needed to be bought in a set.
In early May “Chronicles of Turkmenistan” reported that residents of some villages in Lebap velayat residents of some villages in Lebap velayat were permitted not to buy groceries sold in a set with a monthly ration pack.
