On May 10, 2024, at the Turkish Library Tika Atatürk kütüphane, a lecture was held by the invited lecturer, Dr. Onur Alp Kayabasi (Aksaray University).
The open lesson was organized jointly by the Yunus Emre Institute and the Department of Turkish Language and Literature of Comrat State University. The theme of the open lesson was: The Origins of the Hedrelez Turkic Tradition. The open lesson was attended by the Turkish consul in the Republic of Moldova, Mr. Adnan Hayal, the deputy consul general, Surayya Gülver, the director of the Research Center of Gagauzia (named after Maria Marunevich), Irina Constantinova, professors and students of Comrat State University, as well as teachers from the Moldo-Turkish Theoretical Lyceum "S. Demirel" in the village of Congaz.
The open lesson conducted by Dr. Onur Alp Kayabasi at the Turkish Library Tika Atatürk kütüphane attracted significant interest among both scholars and attendees. The theme dedicated to the origins of the Hedrelez Turkic peoples' tradition resonated widely as it explored lesser-studied aspects of the history and culture of this extensive ethnic group. The presence of high-ranking guests in the audience, including the Turkish consul in the Republic of Moldova, as well as the active participation of professors and students, attests to the importance and relevance of the topic, as well as the lively interest in dialogue and knowledge exchange between different cultural and academic spheres. Comrat State University is actively participating member of the Erasmus+ academic and student mobility program.
