In a sign of improving relations, Moscow will be hosting this year’s Turkey Festival, which runs June 16-18. The event is being organized by Turkish authorities, civil society organizations and businesspeople in cooperation with Moscow city authorities. The festival’s budget is pegged at $1.2 billion, and organizers hope more than 100,000 Russians will participate.

Many of the event’s organizers are tourism business associations and organizations.
“We want to present Russians with our history, culture, sights and our country,” festival coordinator Haluk Ozsevim told. “We should keep in mind that Russian and Turkish peoples have been good friends for many years. And both miss each other.”

The festival will introduce the guests to the rich history and appealing culture of this amazing country, uniting specific traits of two continents.

Here you can see luxurious costumes, in which the main heroes of the famous series "The Magnificent Century" starred.
Participate in Mega-Quest to win one of 200 tours to Turkey and taste the Turkish cuisine and learn to cook from the eminent chefs from Turkey.

Watch the performances of famous Turkish artists and fashion shows of traditional Ottoman outfits, visit the crafts village and make a photo in the basket of the real hot-air balloon from Cappadocia.

See the original oil wrestling and the giant sand sculptures of Turkey's landmarks, learn Ebru water painting and visit the Karagöz shadow theatre and a glassblower workshop.

Buy authentic goods in the Grand Bazaar, tell fortunes by coffee, and many other activities. And little guests of the Festival will enjoy a rich animation program...
