will
a land be unpleasing if those born in that land are
honest!...Rather than remaining homesick in lands far away, / I’d
prefer my being in my homeland despite difficulties, or bad
treatment...Come my self, listen to my advice,/ May you not leave your
hometown...Fighting against one another is not an affair for true men, /
This is the devil’s affair, or maybe they are blind against one
another, / Conflicts will remove peace from our land / And this will
give the enemy privilege in this world...Pyragy I fell in love, / I
jumped into the sea and was captured by the waves, / May my descendants
not be held low, / I wish for a sustainable peace...The great lands will
disperse and slacken / If the brave men do not remain so...A land in
conflict, / Is as if it lost peace...One would be ashamed / If the
country was headless...If I stole your valuables I did not mean to
assault you / Since I am the poor, I have no place other than beside
you...”
My
dear Türkmen! Let me briefly express some of my advice to you. We’ve
been living as a free and independent people for 10 years.
Our
souls become one in various festivals and commemoration days attended by
all the public in every corner of our nation to remember past sorrows
and anniversaries. These events contribute to the spiritual strength of
our people. They make people closer to one another. This is life, and it
bears an infinite number of difficulties. The festivals help us erase
these difficulties from our minds.
Each
Türkmen should enthusiastically celebrate our festivals in the way our
ancestors did. Life will seem to be a form of beauty, the bright future
in the vision of smiling faces,
