President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan made a speech at the presentation ceremony of the Culture and Tourism Ministry Special Awards in Ankara.
President Erdoğan said: “Every piece created by artists, every product produced by craftsmen is actually a summary, form and result of a thousands-year-old history, culture, tradition, space and of course of the geography which has been lived in. In this sense, it is by no means a coincidence that our mosques, masjids and architectural structures are embellished with works of art. We are the inheritors of a deep-rooted legacy, from traditional arts to architecture, and music to poetry and literature.
