      Dear Zholiboy Danaboevich!

      I congratulate you on your birthday.

      You are the successor and leading representative of the school of Uzbek linguistics, which was developed and promoted by Rakhmatulla Kungurov, a scientist, professor, teacher of the Republic of Uzbekistan at Samarkand State University. This school is recognized by the scientific community of our republic.

      I would like to emphasize that you play a special role in the development of Uzbek-Turkish relations, which were founded by President Shavkat Mirziyoyev in 2016.

      I would also like to note your disinterested merits in establishing and developing cooperation between Samarkand State University and Turkish higher educational institutions, especially the universities of Ankara Yildirim Bayazid and Istanbul.

      You are considered one of the famous scientists not only in our country, but also in the Turkic world. Your incomparable merits in promoting our Uzbek language in the world are worthy of praise.

      You have made a worthy contribution to raising the international significance of the Uzbek language by attending classes in our native language in higher educational institutions in countries such as Turkey, South Korea, Germany, and Japan.

      Your about 20 monographs, textbooks and teaching aids, more than 200 scientific articles are devoted to topical problems of Turkic studies.

      May God bless your life, livelihood and knowledge.

      Be always under the protection of Allah...
