homeland can continue to exist only because it is always remembered.

It is a very sacred duty upon you to love and protect the father’s and the mother’s homeland and your independence in the way you would protect your most precious belongings.

 

Our fathers have spilled lots of blood on the way to independence. Oguz Han, Gorkut Ata, Alp Arslan...the heroes in the Gökdepe Castle.. all made the Türkmen known to the whole world. You are their descendants. Only patriotism and bravery will suit you. Be loyal to the country whose resources you make use of, and to your mother who feeds you with her milk. For the resources granted by the homeland to you and your mother’s milk are sacred. Allah Almighty ordered that we should not waste his treasures. It is an obligation upon you to protect these sources of wealth because generations to come after you have a share in them. You will always be fortunate if you share their grief and happiness, and act in harmony with your fellow countrymen. Your fellows are valuable to you. Look for guidance from your homeland. Follow the path of justice. For those who follow the path of justice will never be misled. This way is a source of light in the darkness. Be guided by the moral conduct we inherited from our forefathers. Be obedient to them and you will become the most caring person in the world.

 

My dear son, my beloved daughter! Read! Learn! Produce! It is essential that you be knowledgeable and skilful so that the homeland can survive powerfully and independently, and so that our people remain prosperous and heroic as ever.
