the Soltan asked him why he didn’t take a sackful, the farmer replied,
“I don’t need so much gold that I would carry it as a heavy burden

We
have stepped into the Golden Century. We have to tackle our current
duties successfully for the sake of our great past and the future of the
fortunate young generations. We should comply with our Türkmen nature,
original principles and historical mission.
Türkmen

word of the older is an order (like a stately decree) for the younger Türkmens!
It is obligatory for the older to respect their rights and esteem the
young.
The
way of Türkmen is the clean way.

twice and who gave permission to Çagry Beg
