People of Kazakhstan are getting ready to celebrate Nowruz (or Nauryz in Kazakh language) on March 22 by holding three-day festivities this year. As usual, they will be celebrating this great holiday along with their Central Asian neighbors, Afghanistan, Albania, Azerbaijan, Iran, Macedonia, and Turkic states of Russian Federation. To Kazakhs, Nauryz symbolizes the beginning of spring and renewal of nature.

Türkiye is celebrating National Sovereignty and Children’s Day, as well as the anniversary of the foundation of the country’s parliament 103 years ago, today.

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan hosted a group of child earthquake survivors at Dolmabahce Palace in Istanbul as a part of Children’s Day celebrations.

The Turkish Grand National Assembly met for the first time in Ankara in 1920 during the War of Independence to lay the foundations for an independent, secular and modern republic.

The parliament’s foundation, however, is celebrated as Children’s Day, after Ataturk, the founder of the Turkish Republic, dedicated the day to children worldwide.

Every year, April 23 is celebrated with festivities, including a tradition of high-ranking officials and the president giving their seats to children representatives, symbolising their importance for the country’s future.

Schools, stadiums and streets across the country light up with celebrations as children sing, dance and read poetry to mark the occasion.

“Most countries in Africa take part in this three-day celebration which marks the end of a month long fasting - Ramadan.

This religious celebration is observed as a public holiday in most parts of the continent and rightfully so as 43.3% of Africa’s population are Muslims. It is a day of communion, merriment and gift giving. The streets are vibrant with festivities and people in stylish garbs making their way to visit loved ones or get together at lively functions. Celebrations vary in different countries.”

Mahya lights are decorative lights which are strung up between the minarets of Turkish mosques to form illuminated words or pictures on festive occasions such as Eid al-Fitr (Ramazan Bayramı), Eid al-Adha (Kurban Bayramı), on Kandil nights, and throughout the holy month of Ramadan. Mahya lights are a unique part of traditional Turkish festivities. They can also occasionally be seen on some mosques in the Balkans, such as in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Albania, North Macedonia, northeastern Greece, and other countries which were formerly part of the Ottoman Empire.
