- – Narahat olmuruq, – Əmənulla sözə başladı, – ʼprostu kiʼ, raz belə məsələ var, niyə gizli-gizli iş görürsünüz? Bəyəm biz istəmirik? Niyə bizə informasiya başqa yerdən, yad adamdan gəlməlidi?
- "We are not upset," Emmanulla began, "it's just that when there is such an issue, why do you conduct things in secrecy? Do you think we don't want it? Why should the information come to us from elsewhere, from a stranger?"
