An event to commemorate the life of the late famous
Uyghur historian Mr.Haji Yaqup was held in
Munich, Germany.
On
December 23rd of 2001 a commemeration event to mark
the 40 day since the early departure of the late Haji
Yaqup was held at the premises of the “Eatersn
Turkistan Informational Center” with the help of
organizers from “World Uyghur Youth Congress”. The
event was dedicated to commemorate the life of the
late Mr.Hji Yaqup.
During the meeting a chairman of the “World Uyghurs
Youth Congress” Dolqun Eysa said the following “Haji
Yaqup together with being a well-known historians was
a great revolutioner. His early departure is
invaluable lost to Eastern Turkistan. He was a lovable
son of Uyghur Nation. Like those Turghun Almas, Zordun
Sabir … Haji Yaqup was a warrior son of its nation who
kept the cultural treasury of our nation. The
following future generation of Uyghur youth was taught
on their works, learnt from them and become a
bequestor of their cliams. Their activities are the
program for us of our future national revolution. We,
Youth of Eastern Turkistan, will keep in our memories
their teachings forever. Let be peace upon him in
paradise!”
After the citing Quran, the chairman of “Eastern
Turkistanian Informational Center” Mr. Abdujelil
Qaraqash mentioned the warm and friendly relations he
experienced with the late Haji Yaqup and was sadenned
with his early departure. He said the following ”The
late Haji Yaqup was only only the famous historians of
the 20st century but was a living history by himself.
He was an owner of the enormously rich knowledge of
history and its secrets rarely observed in people. The
late teacher has left for us his valuable life
experiences and knowledge of history of the 20th
century of the Eastern Turkistan in his books to the
future generation, as he always wanted to do. Alas,
due to the financial and immigration hardships
experienced during the last period of his life he was
not able to fulfill his dreams fully. Uyghur nation
has lost not an ordinary man but its living history
and the vast treasure of its knowledge!
I, personally feel uncomfortably as the Uyghur
community in general living in exile outside of the
Eastern Turkistan of the missed opportunities, which
we were short to provide for the late Haji Yaqup. With
this opprtunity to speak out I would like to call our
fellow compatriots once again reconsider its role in
exile and value those intelligent representatives of
Uyghur nation while they are alive by supporting them
socially and financially!
As any nation which values its science elite will
prosper in the futurre and the nation which does not
would not be able to relay on its prosperious future
indeed!”
