“The national document should be taken in Rudaki’s name…” or being a fellow speaker and compatriot of Master Rudaki is a great honour

Dushanbe, 2026-09-22 / Khovar reports that the article says state independence first gave the Tajik people themselves: their homeland, history, name, identity and freedom. The author describes this as no small gain for a nation and notes that many peoples have pursued such a national aspiration for centuries.

The text further says that achieving independence was only the beginning, and that the world had to be shown that the ancient and civilised Tajik nation, with its unique historical achievements, deserved this freedom. It also presents being a fellow speaker and compatriot of Master Rudaki as a great honour.
