A Cultural and Educational Event Entitled “Uzbekistan and Türkiye – Eternal Friendship” Held at TSUOS
On November 11, 2026, a cultural and educational event entitled “Uzbekistan and Türkiye – Eternal Friendship” was held at the Palace of Culture of Tashkent State University of Oriental Studies.
The event was attended by the University Rector, Saodat Abdullayevna Nasirova, representatives of the Turkish Cultural Center, faculty members, students, and distinguished guests.
The event aimed to further strengthen friendship, brotherhood, and cultural ties between the two brotherly nations of Uzbekistan and Türkiye, which share common historical roots and spiritual values, as well as to foster a sense of mutual respect and solidarity among the younger generation.
At the beginning of the event, video footage featuring meetings between the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, Shavkat Mirziyoyev, and the President of the Republic of Türkiye, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, was shown. In addition, a video featuring the Turkish President reciting the poem “Turkestan” once again highlighted the historical and spiritual closeness between the two countries.
During the event, students presented artistic performances, recited poems, performed musical compositions and songs, delivered monologues, and staged theatrical performances. In particular, such poems as “Bu vatan senin,” “Bu vatan kimin,” “Uluğimsan Vatanim,” and “Ozarbayjon,” songs from the repertoire of Ilyas Gulaydin, the musical performance “Benim hikayem,” as well as Turkish and Uzbek traditional dances, left a special impression on the audience.
The songs performed and poems recited by the students embodied the shared history of the two nations, love for the homeland, devotion to national values, and the ideals of peace and friendship. The combination of Turkish and Uzbek national art forms on one stage vividly reflected the cultural affinity and richness of the two nations’ traditions.
It is worth noting that the historical bonds that have united the peoples of Uzbekistan and Türkiye for centuries, their shared spiritual heritage, and the closeness of their languages and cultures continue to serve as a solid foundation for strategic cooperation between the two countries. Such cultural and educational events play an important role in instilling an appreciation of this longstanding friendship in the younger generation and further promoting mutual understanding and solidarity between the two peoples.
