In this regard, it is necessary to focus on the development of new technologies without forgetting about people’s tradition, part of which is the national ornament, which takes its roots into steppe tribes such as Sakas and Scythians. National ornamentation is a base of the traditions, which are to be preserved and transmitted. A citizen, who knows his traditions, will be able to resist negative impulses for future chaos and calamities.
