Ak Welsapar was born in 1956 in the former Soviet Republic of Turkmenistan. He received his Master’s degree in Journalism from Lomonosov Moscow State University in 1979.

“We’re old men now, it’s obvious. Most of us are gone and few remain. That's justice anyway: You ate, you lived, you saw good and evil, you suffered what you had to suffer, and you had your children. Then, all at once and before you know it, you're sent on your way. As for you lot though, this is what I'm trying to say: It's better to be ignorant and useful than learned and useless.”
Ak Welsapar, The Tale of Aypi

“To have power you need guts, and that means you need to open your mouth eventually.”
Ak Welsapar

“You know, there's only one real competition in this world, and that's the battle of the sexes. See, war between religions, nations, and militaries will end someday, but the battle of the sexes is eternal.”
Ak Welsapar, The Tale of Aypi
