On 6 November, the TURKSOY General Secretariat building in Ankara hosted the presentation of the Turkish-language book ‘Wagzy-Azat’ (‘Advice from Azadi’), dedicated to the 330th anniversary of the birth of Turkmen thinker and poet Dovletmammet Azadi. This was reported by the news agency ‘Turkmenistan: Golden age’.

The event was held as part of Turkmen Literature and Creativity Week in Turkey, organised by the Embassy of Turkmenistan in cooperation with TURKSOY. The presentation was attended by diplomats, representatives of Turkish ministries, writers, public figures, the Turkmen diaspora, students and the media.

The book, prepared by Dr Soner Saglam, is dedicated to the life and work of the great poet and philosopher and contributes to the promotion of Turkmenistan's cultural heritage in the Turkic world. Participants in the event noted that Azadi's work is an important part of the common Turkic spiritual culture and strengthens friendship between peoples with common historical roots.

The presentation took place in a solemn atmosphere, demonstrating the successful cultural cooperation between Turkmenistan and TURKSOY.
