INTRODUCTION
Every provincial city of Turkey, a historical crossover point of great
civilizations, constitutes a very rich and colorful source of our national
culture. Civil architectural examples, musical instruments, types of food and
beverages, local costumes, folk music and folk dances, and on top of these handcrafts play a very important role in creating touristical attention in the presentation of our
provinces.
Local cultures also constitute the very base and essence of the national
culture, and for this reason, we are definitely obliged to demonstrate and teach our local cultural assets not only to citizens and to new
generations, but also to tourists. "1st Provincial Culture Fair" is organized for this purpose
exactly.
It was also one of Great Ataturk's ideals to demonstrate provincial cultures via such
organizations. When location plans for Internal Ministry building were being made in Bakanl�klar
District, a separate place was allocated for each province, and demonstrative exhibitions were aimed in special days of the
year. Likewise, a large exhibition was opened in this area, suitable to Ataturk's
intention, within the scope of the 75th Anniversary Celebrations of
Republic.
"1st Provincial Culture Fair" will be the biggest organization to be performed in this field up until
now. The Capital Ankara will embrace Turkey via this culture display, and our cultural richness will be brought into public interest once
more.
I hereby would like to express my deep gratitude and appreciation for those who have contributed to the
fair.
