this 116 years should be understood in the old Türkmen calendar.”

Oguz Han, the ruler of great lands, conquered them with words inspired by Allah rather than with his sword. He requested that we should be merciful and compassionate:

-  If I am asked, I have never said no. I always give what I 
       am asked.

-  I waited for the end of good and bad, and I reached my 
       goal.

-  I explained all my wishes to my people and I convinced 
       them.

-  Without a sword, I govern the people with good words.

-  I govern with justice and have organized my own state.

-  I never oppressed people, never attempted to kill 
       innocents; I was always patient even though I had been 
       oppressed.

-  He who follows the path of truth, never finds evil.

-  If your nation does not appreciate your way, you will 
       never see good.

-  He who oppresses his own subordinates, he will prepare 
       his own grave.

-  He who oppresses his own subordinates is doing what his 
       enemies want. His enemies will be happy about this.

-  A way other than justice never suits a ruler.

In the age when the Egyptian pharaohs declared themselves the sons of God, Oguz Han came into this world.
