MINSK, 12 June (BelTA) – The Day of Turkish Culture will be held in the fan zone near the Palace of Sport in Minsk on 27 June as part of the cultural program of the 2nd European Games, BelTA learned from the Turkish Embassy.

The presentation will be held in a huge tent. Visitors will be able to see traditional Turkish art and take part in master classes. The program of the festival features a spectacular show of preparing famous Turkish dessert katmer (layered pancakes) and tastings of Turkish tea and coffee. The national cuisine will be presented by cooks from Gaziantep.
