TO UNESCO INTERGOVERNMENTAL COMMITTEE FOR THE SAFEGUARDING OF THE INTANGIBLE CULTURAL HERITAGE

Our Institute, founded in 2012 for the purpose of improving and enriching non­governmental activities and supporting individuals and organizations in the field of cultural heritage, contributes to process of safeguarding intangible cultural heritage in both national and international platforms as a non-governmental organization. In this context, it has been carried out projects with the cooperation of academic organizations, universities, non-governmental organizations, associations, foundations and institutes focusing on culture such as Turkish National Commission for UNESCO and Turkish Folk Sciences Research and Application Centers. In addition to these, in our museum there are performances of meddah (public storytellers), masalc1 (taletellers) and minstrel's activities for the transmission ofDede Korkut stories to next generations. Moreover, at the expert level it is actively supported policies about safeguarding the cultural heritage and works and projects enabling effective participation of civil society in its process of implementation.

Dede Korkut narratives, basic creations of cultural history and existing in different geographies, prove the universal value of the element. The inscription of the element on the Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity will contribute to increasing the visibility of intangible cultural heritage and awareness of the Representative List by wide masses . As a non-governmental organization, with intangible cultural heritage museums founded, being active in the fields of research, training and application and having academic accumulation in this field, we state that we heartily support inscribing Dede Korkut Tradition on the Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

CONSENT DECLARATION

The values arise from the stories ofDede Korkut, giving importance to unity of family, love, honesty, respect, aesthetics, courage, being honorable, solidarity, patriotism, generosity, compassion as we encounter, in addition to these universal values, in the stories social and religious values and oral expressions of Malatya Province (Tales, legends, stories and dirges) are still kept alive in cultural memory of life. In those stories, many tangible cultural products were presented related with house, architecture and spaces (tent, marquee, oven, room etc.), utilities of daily life (kopuz- musical instrument, carpet, felt, mattress etc.) and clothing (dress, robe, waistband, shalwar, broadcloth etc.). Except for language these findings are seen in oral tradition and lifestyle of Malatya with all the values of aesthetics.

In this framework, related with the works of intangible cultural heritage by Republic of Turkey Ministry of Culture and Tourism General Directorate of Research and Training, we support and accept inscribing "Dede Korkut Cultural Heritage" in Malatya on UNESCO Representative List ofthe Intangible Cultural Heritage ofHurnanity.

Submitted for appropriate action.
