Ankara hosted an international conference entitled ‘The educator of the Kazakh people’ to mark the 125th anniversary of great Kazakh literary figure Mukhtar Auezov. Turkey’s famous poets, writers, scientists and public figures discussed the translation of the great scientist’s works into Turkish. The novel ‘My Auezov’ by literary critic Zeinolla Kabdolov in Turkish was presented during the event. The novel-essay tells about the outstanding personality of Mukhtar Auezov.
“We really want Mukhtar Auezov to be known not only in Kazakhstan or Kyrgyzstan, but also all over the world. We would like to instill humanity and morality in the younger generation through his works. In addition, this year marks the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Kazakhstan and Turkey. I would like to wish the expanding and strengthening of not only diplomatic, but also cultural ties between the two states,” said Bilal Cakici, Deputy Secretary General of the TURKSOY International Organization of Turkic Culture.
“I began to translate the book in the winter. It was a project of the TURKSOY international organization. I was lucky to translate this novel. Of course, the work was not easy at all, but I did it. And I'm so happy to have a hand in this project,” shared Assem Yerezhepkyzy, translator of the novel ‘My Auezov’.
