SARAJEVO, October 14 (FENA) - This year, the Yunus Emre Institute celebrates 10 years of its work in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

On this occasion, a concert by one of the world's most famous music composers of mystical music, Omer Faruk Tekbilek, will take place on October 17, at the Sarajevo City Hall.

Tekbilek is a Turkish composer with an address in the United States of America, with a distinctive musical style, inspired by traditional Sufi music.

This concert is a kind of highlight of celebrating the decade of work of the Yunus Emre Institute in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The Yunus Emre Institute was established on 17 October 2009 with the aim of promoting Turkey, Turkish language, history, culture and art.

The first cultural center was opened in Sarajevo, and the Institute is actively working in the centers in Mostar and Fojnica.

“We believe that during the past 10 years, the activities of the Yunus Emre Institute have succeeded in further strengthening the cultural, arts and friendly ties between the two countries, connecting people, projects, institutions,” says Mehmet Akif Yaman, Director of the Yunus Emre Institute in Sarajevo.

Yaman says that since its founding, a large number of activities have been implemented in the field of teaching the Turkish language, but also in the field of arts and culture.

“One of our most significant projects is "My Choice is Turkish", which is being implemented in BiH, and with the efforts of our Institute, a similar project is being implemented in Turkey in the field of Bosnian language studies, which is being taught as an optional foreign language in schools,” said Mehmet Akif Yaman.

In addition to cultural centers in Sarajevo, Mostar and Fojnica, the Institute organizes Turkish language courses in cities across BiH.

In addition to BiH, the Yunus Emre Institute has 58 cultural centers in 48 countries and 145 offices in 63 countries.
