Going to Turkey and not drinking a cup of fragrant Turkish coffee is like going to Rome and not seeing the Pope. Turkish coffee is much more than an approving drink, it is a state of mind.
In our southern neighbor, coffee is highly valued, not so much because of its taste, but because of its place in the cultural tradition of Turkey.
It is no surprise that UNESCO has officially included Turkish coffee in the list of intangible cultural heritage of the world. The decision was made at a meeting of the UNESCO Committee, which took place in the capital of Azerbaijan, Baku.
More than 800 representatives from 116 countries attended the meeting. The Commission has discussed a total of 38 proposals, incl. the proposal to recognize Turkish coffee as a world intangible cultural heritage.
The decision to declare the aromatic drink a cultural asset was taken by a large majority.
The place that coffee occupies in Turkish culture is of particular importance. Our neighbors use it as a means of communication. It is part of a number of traditional rituals for Turkish society.
Without it, no matchmaking, visiting or simple heartfelt conversation passes, because, as they say in Turkey: "The heart is looking for a conversation, coffee is just a pretext."
Turkish coffee is another traditional cultural value that falls under the auspices of UNESCO. Prior to that, ten other Turkish-style activities, customs or arts were declared world cultural values.
Under the official protection of UNESCO fall the famous fat people's struggles, which are held annually in Karpanar, Edirne, as well as the ancient theater of shadows Karagyoz and Hadjivat and others.
Our southern neighbor is preparing to offer UNESCO delegates to include in the protected list of world cultural values and the unique art of ebru.
Ebru is an exquisite technique for painting on a water surface, after which the drawing is "printed" on a sheet. The traditions of ebru date back to the era of the Ottoman Empire.
