"Sadly, even a quarter of a century after the collapse of the Communist regime, it remains to be explained to Europeans in our native basin that scientific knowledge is important. After all, many of them would not survive a month without the products of modern science, such as medicines. The villagers in Ethiopia and Azerbaijan, as well as the Kurds in eastern Turkey, did not have such doubts about the usefulness of science and scientists, and were friendly to us."
