Mikhail Skobelev led the russian force and take goek tepe

 من اؤلسم ، جسدیمی إنه توپراغا آشیریپ جایلانگ . اگر إلتدیرمه سه لر پول بیلن آشیرینگ . إگر بؤ- دا بولماسا جسدیمی هول آقیب یاتان دریا تاشلانگ » . قارری خان جیحونا ناظار دیکیأر : « من تؤرکمن ایلینه دریا بیلن بارایین ، بولماسا-دا جسدیمی ایِین بالیق لار بیلن بارارین »

ben olursem cinazemi ana topragima gomun eger ruslar izin vermezlerse onlari parayla ikna edin ama eger paraylada ikna olamazlarsa cinazemi nehire atin, nehir beni oraya goturur

"if i die take my body to mother land and bury me their if russians dont let u give them money if it dont work than throw me into the River the River will take me to home
