In accordance with the Decision of the 16th session of the Intergovernmental Committee for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage, held in Paris, "The Art of Bakhshi" was included in the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

Now this eternal value inherited from our ancestors will never be lost, Bakshi art is now under the protection of the international community, now a solid foundation has been laid for the continuation and development of the Bakshi tradition.

It is no exaggeration to say that this wonderful event is a logical continuation of the efforts made by the Head of our country to preserve and develop the art of bakhshi.

At the moment, the number of our intangible cultural heritage sites, included in the UNESCO list, has reached to 10. Previously, the list included the cultural space of Boysun, classical music Shashmakom, Katta ashula, the art of Askia, Navruz, culture and traditions of pilaf, Margilan center for the development of crafts: sewing adras and atlas, Khorezm dance - Lazgi, art of miniature based on national and international presentation. Now the art of Bakhshi has joined their ranks.

On December 13 of this year, the journalist, blogger, TV presenter, producer, playwright, musician, teacher and public figure Nikita Anatolyevich Makarenko held a guest lecture on the topic: "Propaganda. Different ways to control information" for the students of the “Silk Road” International University of Tourism and Cultural Heritage.

The main purpose of this lecture is to tell and convey to students what propaganda is and how it affects the management of the picture of the human world. Also, during the lecture, were considered various propaganda technologies, which push people to perform necessary and unnecessary actions.

Conducting these lectures provided students with an excellent chance to get acquainted with the experience of N.A.Makarenko, a leading specialist in the field of mass media. At the end of the lecture, the students received answers to their questions.

It is worth noting that during the visit, N. Makarenko replenished the University Library with unique editions of books in English language.

Specialists of the Turkish Agency for International Cooperation and Coordination (TICA), subordinate to the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of Turkey, conducted classes on the topic "Turkish language in Tourism" for students of the "Silk Road" International University of Tourism and Cultural Heritage.

These classes were conducted with the support of the faculty of Ankara Yildirim Beyazit University and Gazi University. It should be noted that this program lasted two weeks and 60 students took part in it.

At the end of the two-week program, each student passed the exam and received a certificate.

It is worth noting that the Republic of Turkey was the first in the world to recognize the state independence of the Republic of Uzbekistan. In 1996, our countries signed an Agreement on Eternal Friendship and Cooperation. Our peoples are closely connected by deep historical roots, common religion, similarity of language, values and customs. Friendly relations between Uzbekistan and Turkey, based on mutual trust, are actively strengthening today.
