“Folklore is the fortress of our nation’s spirit, but we, blinded by modernity and foreign ideas, often consider it obsolete. When a nation abandons its songs, its legends, its ancient customs, it loses not only its past but also its ability to create a future. Foreign influences, which infiltrate our lives, not only detach us from our roots but also make us strangers in our own land. The preservation of folklore is not only respect for our ancestors but also our duty if we want our nation to remain alive and strong.”
