Sayit Yusuf noted that the brotherhood between our peoples will be further strengthened by understanding our values and said: "The common stories and heroes that we keep alive such as Hodja Nasrettin, Köroğlu, Aldar Köse are an important heritage that exists in different parts of the Turkic geography, albeit with different names, uniting us and showing that we have a common culture. By compiling these common values and transferring them to future generations, we will walk to a stronger, more beautiful and more prosperous future by showing what a strong civilisation and common cultural heritage we have."
