Jochi Khan
“On which day will I fear that the fangs of my enemy will sink into my throat… While I am trying to put everything in order, will the Turkic people themselves be consumed and lose their essence? Many scare, but they go deep… Then where does the roof of the Turkic people remain? Who will own it? Time will pass, generations will come… What will they say to us? Will it be gratitude or a curse?”
