During his interaction with the residents, he emphasized the importance of education and self-development, sharing memories from his youth: “To avoid awkward situations when meeting girls, we read books,” Tashiev noted, adding that the pursuit of knowledge remains relevant even today.
Additionally, Tashiev interacted with schoolchildren who were playing the national game toguz korgool. In a joking tone, he remarked that the kids were still learning to play and emphasized the importance of fostering youth interest in national traditions and intellectual leisure. “I immediately realized that they didn’t know how to play. They were just sitting there for show,” the GKNB chairman commented with a smile.
