The question "What's fifteen ?", in Verse Eight, refers to the shortlived Republic of Turkestan which existed from 1933 until 1948. The year 1948 was also the year in which the great poet, Abdurrehim Ötkür, wrote this poem in the city of Urumchi.

This song is also known as "Karsilasinca", (its title in Turkish as spoken in Turkey). The following video, of the SAME SONG, THE SAME RECORDING by Abdurrehim Heyit, has already notched up over TWO MILLION VIEWS !

China must IMMEDIATELY DEMOLISH its CONCENTRATION CAMPS in which ONE MILLION UYGHURS are currently INCARCERATED !
China must REMOVE its NUCLEAR MISSILES from the TIBETAN PLATEAU !
The civilised world should NOT be CRAWLING and GROVELLING to the BARBARIC GOVERNMENT OF CHINA !
The civilised world should NOT be doing BUSINESS with the GENOCIDAL, RACIST, FASCIST REGIME of Xi Jinping !
