The way you used to compliment my smile, our talks, and how you\u2019d warn me, \u201cZaur, do not be indulgent to everyone.\u201d<br \/>\n  <\/i>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  <i><br \/>\n    Don\u2019t worry about me. I\u2019m fine. My mood has settled and I\u2019m feeling calm. As you suggest, I\u2019d like to write; but I think that first I have to write my autobiography and only then can I write about my vision. There are obvious reasons as to why I am not writing my autobiography but I have six years left in here, so I am thinking of starting sometime soon.<br \/>\n  <\/i>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  <i><br \/>\n    When I saw Agshin on TV I saw that he is badly ill with cirrhosis of the liver. A while before I went to prison, Agshin wrote something about young people, and to put it delicately, I criticized him. But all of that is meaningless now. It was odd to see him on TV in that state.<br \/>\n  <\/i>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  <i><br \/>\n    Sis, this illness is causing the demise of a real creative brain. You know why I am so sad? We are so few &#8211; even with Agshin and his generation\u2019s group, and our small number of readers. But we will manage. We are the ones who can save this society from people who live their lives like automatons. But everything has its sacrifice, and now Agshin has sacrificed his liver.<br \/>\n  <\/i>\n<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\n  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.meydan.tv\/az\/18397\/\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18397\"\/><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\n  <i><br \/>\n    Sister, although I have never spoken to him, if something happens to him, it will break me! I don\u2019t want to talk about bad things; it is a hard topic for a person in jail. However, if you are in touch with him, would you let him know that in my 10 meter square cell I am with him in thought as much as possible. Unfortunately it is the only way I can be. I wish him a long life.<br \/>\n  <\/i>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  <i><br \/>\n    If I can\u2019t write you again, don\u2019t worry. I write this letter without hope of an answer &#8211; just the thought of you reading it is enough for me.<br \/>\n  <\/i>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  <i><br \/>\n    I send kisses to all our mutual friends and relatives; say hello to them from me.<br \/>\n  <\/i>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  <i><br \/>\n    I don\u2019t know when, or in which circumstances, but we will definitely meet again.
