| Description |
Since 2015, the International Tarakama Charshanba Folklore Festival is held every Tuesday in the Gegeli village of Agsu region (the largest village by area and population). The festival is based on historical and cultural backgrounds and has emerged as a public initiative. Our goal is to promote the cultural identity of the transhumance lifestyles internationally in our home and to open up new opportunities for local residents. Participants from Turkey, Iran, Georgia, Russia, India, Egypt, Indonesia, Turkmenistan and Yemen have returned from the village with special interest at the festivals held so far. Festivals held with limited opportunities, with the support of the villagers, have attracted a great deal of attention from social media and the general public and enthusiastically increased the expectation of that day. It should be noted that on December 12th last year transhumance of Italy, Austria and Greece were included in the UNESCO list. |
