- «Duniyada sabiy köbeyib tebirese, ullu zaran bolluqdu, işsizlik köp bolluqdu», – dep, osal nasiyhat aythan doktorla küsegenlerin taphandıla. Ol bizni milletge tayaq bolub tiygendi."If children in the world start multiplying, there will be great damage, there will be much unemployment" — the doctors who gave that bad advice got what they wished for. It came back on our people like a beating.
