Artistic Director Yumit Yashar Gesum noted the significance of the current event: “Within the framework of the project“ Capital of Tourism of the OES – Erzurum ”, we conducted a symposium with the participation of artists from the Turkic countries. The masters who came from the ancestral lands began to create work inspired by the myths of the Turkic and Anatolian world. Crap Youth participate in this process with artists. “
Azerbaijani artist Ilham Enveroglu, who has been involved in such projects for many years, said: “How art destroys the boundaries between people, so it will help us overcome political boundaries. We felt it 25-30 years ago because art recognizes borders. Not a single state, not a single empire could limit it.”

“We, artists of the Turkic world, live here in one spirit, with love and inspiration. But most of all I am pleased that children in Turkey work with us and contribute to art”: – he added.
