Uzbek Peremech
Yesterday, I ran into Ravile and she mentioned that there is this Uzbek website with pictures of peremech on it.. here..
It's not exactly Uzbek. It's from a website in Turkey called memleket.com.tr.
Rähmät, Ravile. Great pictures. I love that stove she's cooking on.

Mother's Day 2015
Mother's Day at the Bina was May 9th this year. In the picture above, current President Turan Apakay welcomes the crowd. Moms and guests were treated to a nice brunch buffet of belennär and bagels and smoked salmon. People read poems and spoke and a few sang songs. It's always a friendly, civilized crowd and many positive, appreciative things were said about motherhood. Tatars love their mothers. Tatars sing love songs about their mothers. This genre of Tatar music has many songs.
One for example is "Änkäy", music by Sara Sadikova.
