The 80th anniversary of the Great Victory is widely celebrated in the country. On this occasion, veterans of our district made a special cultural and educational trip to the city of Turkestan under the organization of "Zamandastar" veterans' organization under the district employment and social programs department with the support of Maktaaral district administration. Akim of the district Bakyt Asanov himself wished the veterans good luck and saw them off from Maktaaral. The main purpose of the event is to provide spiritual rest for veterans, to honor their work, and to set an example in the direction of patriotic education for young people. After that, he went to the mausoleum of Khoja Ahmet Yasawi in the city of Turkestan, which is considered a historical and spiritual center, bowed to the spirit of our great ancestor, and dedicated the Koran to all our heroes and soldiers who died on the path of Kazakh independence. In addition, the veterans visited the "Caravan Saray" tourist complex and felt the atmosphere of the ancient Silk Road. There are many national handicrafts, modern museums and hotels decorated in Kazakh style in the complex. All this shows that our cultural heritage is being revived in a modern way.
Special excursion programs were organized by the organizers who went with the veterans, and a professional tour was conducted on each historical object. This trip left a deep impression on the participants. Some veterans expressed their gratitude saying that they visited Turkestan for the first time.
"Turkestan is not only a witness of the past, it is a place that shows the way to the future and educates young people in the national spirit. The renewed appearance of the city and the development of its infrastructure are a reflection of the country's concrete steps towards spiritual renewal. At the end of the trip, our respect and pride for the history of our native country increased even more. A trip to Turkestan was a particularly impressive trip that cleanses the heart, enriches the mind, and elevates the spirit. This city is a sacred place that every Kazakh child should see. "After visiting Maktaaral, we will tell our grandchildren about the wonders of the holy city," veterans said. The 80th anniversary of the Great Victory is not only a commemoration of history, it is a sign of true respect for the country, courage, and unity of today's generation. service
