Inspecting the preparations of the 4th International Theatre Festival of TURKSOY to be held in the city of Andijan in Uzbekistan, TURKSOY Secretary General Sultan Raev held meetings at the theatres where the event will take place.
The festival to be held in October this year as part of Cultural Capital events of the Turkic World will be organised in cooperation of the International Organisation of Turkic Culture (TURKSOY) with the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Uzbekistan and the Regional Administration of Andijan. The event will also include a meeting of the directors of state theatres of TURKSOY member countries.
During his visit to Uzbekistan, Secretary General Sultan Raev met with officials of the Andijan Region Musical Drama Theatre, the Youth Theatre and the Puppet Theatre, who gave him detailed information regarding the existing infrastructure, technical facilities and preparation processes. The meetings covered all stages of the organisation, from the accommodation of theatre ensembles to the opening and closing ceremonies.
In these meetings, attention was drawn to the long-standing experience of Uzbekistan in hosting large-scale international events, managing festivals and organising major cultural gatherings of highest standards. It was further emphasised that the strong state support provided for theatre activities and arts institutions in the country is the most important guarantee for the successful execution of international events of this magnitude.
The festival which will be carried out in order to enhance cooperation and the exchange of experience among professional theatre ensembles from the Turkic World will also contribute to the international promotion of the rich culture and tourism potential of the historic city of Andijan, the birthplace of Zahuriddin Muhammad Babur.
