A well-equipped commando equipped with an automatic rifle leads the rocky road. Only the hills and mountains around. There is no green anywhere. Suddenly, the position of the enemy was understood from the top of a gray hill. By setting eyes on binoculars, the commando confirmed the enemy's position. He looked around. A few shrubs, two or two shrubs, anonymous, green flowers are spreading there. Commando shelves his sniper song.

Then again those gray rough hills, winding mud walls, rugged rivers, harsh winters, steep deserts, rocky mountain paths. I thought that would be so - there is no sign of green anywhere, only roughness and roughness all around. But what I saw in Turatq, at one moment, came out of my mouth unknowingly — the blessing of that widow!
