A delegation of journalists from Turkmenistan recently completed a specialized press tour of Turkey, focusing on the cultural and spiritual traditions of the region. Held from March 2 to 5, the journey was initiated by the Turkish Embassy’s Cultural Council in Ashgabat. The itinerary, themed "Faith, Culture, and Gastronomy," took participants through the vibrant streets of Istanbul and the historical city of Bursa.

The visit included guided tours of landmark sites such as the Hagia Sophia and the Eyüp Sultan Mosque, offering deep insights into Islamic history. In Bursa, the former Ottoman capital, the group visited the Grand Bazaar and the Great Mosque (Ulu Cami). Beyond historical sightseeing, the tour emphasized the shared values of the Turkic world through traditional Iftar dinners. This media project aimed to foster stronger cultural ties and enhance bilateral understanding by showcasing Turkey’s rich hospitality and ancestral legacy during the holy month.
