Yunus Emre's Heritage in the Heart of Tashkent: Turkish Cultural Center Opens at TSUULL
Uzbekistan
On April 28, Tashkent became another landmark on the map of the Yunus Emre Institute's global network. A new center was opened at the Tashkent State University of Uzbek Language and Literature, aimed at transforming the study of Turkish language and art into a vibrant dialogue between brotherly nations.
The grand opening of the Yunus Emre Institute office began with an immersion into the delicate art of "Tezhip"—the traditional gold illumination of manuscripts. The ceremony was attended by the ambassadors of Turkey and Azerbaijan, leadership from relevant ministries, and the Rector of TSUULL, Shukhrat Sirojiddinov. Distinguished guests emphasized that this step is the result of an unprecedented level of trust between Presidents Shavkat Mirziyoyev and Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
The new center is more than just classrooms; it is an intellectual hub for young scientists and researchers. It will host joint educational projects dedicated to the heritage of the great thinkers Alisher Navoi and Yunus Emre. In recent years, the cultural rapprochement between the two countries has taken tangible forms: from the installation of a Navoi monument in Ankara to the creation of an "Uzbek Mahalla" in the Turkish province of Hatay.
The Yunus Emre Institute manages over 90 centers in 70 countries, and the choice of TSUULL as a partner is strategically sound. The university actively promotes Uzbek culture abroad, having already opened Alisher Navoi centers in Venice, Oxford, and Osh. The establishment of the Yunus Emre Center in Tashkent completes the logical chain of humanitarian exchange, strengthening the unity of the Turkic world and providing students with access to advanced programs for studying the language and history of Turkey.
