Head of NJSC "Otandastar Qory" under the Ministry of foreign affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan Abzal Saparbekuly met with a special guest from France - Mr. Yashar Dinch." Yashar aksakal is an ethnic Kazakh whose ancestors are Altai, but he himself, ironically, was born in Pakistan. Earlier, the family moved to the fraternal country of Turkey and grew up there. In search of work, he went to the capital of France, Paris, where he opened his own free shop, employed 30-40 people and served there. In France, he opened the first Kazakh organization in Europe, called Mustafa Shokai.

The Elder said:* Wherever I went, I had a special love for Kazakhstan*. *When I went to different states and went through customs, I was asked : “Who Is Your Son? Are you Korean or Japanese? You don't look like a Kazakh! "I don't know," I said. Then in 2019 I received Kazakh citizenship in order to put an end to many questions. I proudly show my blue passport when I cross the border now. "Oh, Kazakhstan!"I don't know," I said."*- says the elder, who has seen many. Later, Mr. Yashar was called “Kazakh Ata” in the area where he lived.

If summer comes, Kazakhs in the country are in a hurry to travel abroad, our grandfather Yashar, who has been with his children in recent years, comes to Kazakhstan to rest. Every year he traveled around the homeland and made his own contribution to the development of domestic tourism. I still have a lot to go to, Basar Tau says. In the future, he intends to transfer his children to the title.

At the end of the meeting, The Elder gave a blessing to the staff of the company and advised them to travel the world. Because there is a good saying in the Kazakh language: “ask not because you know many, but because you see many”. The head of the company, Abzal Saparbekuly, covered Mr. Yashar with a cape and warmly greeted him.
