  • «Elni qolunda jürütedi [Azamat]. Elde namısın bek kötüredile. Alay, ne medet, oquwu joqdu, kesi aythanlay, biraz qartayğan da etgendi», – dep oyumlaydı Batır Osmanoviç.«Azamat runs the village. In the village people hold Azamat in high esteem. But, alas, Azamat has no schooling and, as Azamat says, has grown somewhat old», reflects Batyr Osmanovich.
