The Uzbek guests of the Marmara Group Foundation visited the Sadabad Gardens in Kağıthane, where they toured the Sedef Workshop, Paper Workshop, and Ebru Workshop.

As part of the civil society workshop held between Uzbekistan and Türkiye, the Marmara Group Foundation and the Uzbekistan Strategy Center organized a cultural visit. The idea of bringing together shared values emerged during the visit to the workshops where sedef art, paper art, and Ebru art are practiced.

During the visit, Mahmut Saklı, a member of the Board of Directors of the Marmara Group Foundation, conveyed the greetings of Dr. Akkan Suver, the President of the Marmara Group Foundation, and expressed readiness for any collaboration to bring together shared values. Eldar Tulyakov, the President of the Uzbekistan Strategy Center, and Sedef Master Hilmi Emekli proposed the concrete implementation of this idea by suggesting the gathering of masters practicing these arts in Uzbekistan and Türkiye.

After the program, Deputy Mayor of Kağıthane, Nedret Apaydın, presented a paper produced in the Paper Workshop, and Sedef Master Hilmi Emekli presented a prayer inscribed on wood to Eldor Tulyakov as gifts.

During the visit, Hasan Yediyıldız and Faruk Gökyer from the Marmara Group Foundation, as well as executives from the Uzbekistan Strategy Center, were also present.
