Book about ancient city of Anau presented in Astana

The presentation of the book titled ‘Anau - Culture from the Depths of Millennia’ by President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdymukhamedov was held in Astana. This year, by the decision of TURKSOY, this ancient city was proclaimed the cultural capital of the Turkic world. In this scholarly work, the author delves into the history and development of the seven-thousand-year-old city from its inception to the present day. The book is published in Turkmen, English, and Russian languages, with plans to translate it into Kazakh as well.

“This city holds great significance not only for Turkmens, but also for Central Asia as a whole, given that the Oghuz and Kipchak civilizations thrived there. The book is of great importance for the scholarly community. Relations between our countries are actively evolving, especially in cultural and scientific exchange. The Turkic Academy plays a special role in this regard,” Askhat Kessikbayev, Vice President of the Turkic Academy, said.
