Beautiful culture of Tajikistan

21 December 2015 Faculty of History Press-Office

Tajikistan’s National Culture Festival was held on December 8 at the assembly hall of campus C.

ASU Faculty of History and International Relations Department took part in event organization. According to their words, the festival’s varied program provided the guests with an opportunity to get to know ancient and rich culture of Tajik people better.

“Tajikistan’s culture is unique in its own way, and it requires building and maintenance of the national values,” notes Faculty of History master’s degree student Sakina Nazarshoeva. “Tajiks have made a great contribution to the civilization’s spiritual heritage and gave the world outstanding and great scientists, philosophers, writers, poets and architects, whose works have become an integral part of its scientific and cultural background. Everyone got genuinely interested in the idea of conducting such grand-scale cultural event, and it was held at the highest level!”

The visitors included not only students from Tajikistan, but also representatives of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia and China.

“The National Culture Day seemed very interesting and memorable to me,” says Faculty of Mass Communication, Philology and Political Science 3rd year student Nazrihudzha Saidaliev. “I’m glad we’ve held the concert and managed to show our culture and traditions. Tajikistan is the smallest country of Central Asia, but in spite of that, we, Tajiks, have not lost our national and cultural identity. We are proud of Saadi Shirazi, Avicenna and other outstanding people. We also love the poems by Omar Khayyam and Abu Abdollah Rudaki!”

The audience got to hear the famous Tajik poetics, enjoyed the traditional dancing, watched the national costumes show and even took part in a real bridal procession. They were also shown the topic-related video clip about Tajik people’s culture.

“The event is best remembered for my compatriots’ spectacular performance,” shares his impressions Faculty of Mass Communication, Philology and Political Science 1st year student Sulaimon Shoguzanfarov. “It’s great that the students from Kyrgyzstan, Russia and other countries responded to our invitation. It means that the unified cultural and informational space is being established and the integration processes are being strengthened. The program of the festival has inspired me; I remembered my homeland, as the culture of my nation has settled in my soul since the early childhood.”

We hope, that spectacular national festivals with the participation of the Faculty of History will continue to be held at our university, and we will learn more about the previously unknown traditions and cultures.
