    - My first visit to Samarkand. I heard about Samarkand, but I had little information, says Angelina Yashina, a student at the Technical University of Berlin, Germany. - I really liked your city. Nationality and humanity at an excellent level. Your people are hospitable, people care about each other very much. It continues its traditions without losing its values and customs. Today's Navruz holiday made a special impression on me. I admired the national clothes of your girls, they are very beautiful and attractive. I was very glad that most of the teachers and students communicated in Russian and English. I decided to come to Uzbekistan again. Next time I will come with my family. Happy holiday to all of you!

    - The holiday celebrated today is not only a holiday of the Institute of Agrobiotechnologies and Food Safety of SamSU, but also a holiday of the entire Dzhambay people. We see that special preparations were made for the holiday, - says Gulnora Akhmedova, the owner of the "El-Yurt Hurmati" order and the "Shuhrat medal". - The holiday began with the sounds of karnays and surnays, everyone was in a good mood. National games performed by students reminded me of my youth... I congratulate all our compatriots on Navruz holiday...
