On October 29, Uzbekistan’s President Shavkat Mirziyoyev and his wife joined the heads of delegations from member states of the Organization of Turkic States for the cultural programme of the Ankara summit.
The leaders opened the Park of Civilizations of the Turkic States at the Beştepe complex in Ankara. Its pavilions feature traditional yurts and national exhibitions.
The displays showcase the Turkic peoples’ historical, cultural and architectural heritage, achievements in science and education, traditions and contemporary development. Guests viewed a reproduction of the ancient Orkhon inscriptions, watched national games and performances by archers and fighters in historical costumes. The leaders then planted oak saplings.
