Additionally, a dance performance prepared by Muge Sydorovych and Victor Sydorovych, who have been part of famed Turkish dance group Fire of Anatolia, was presented.
Turkish coffee was added to UNESCO's list of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity on Dec. 5, 2013. Since then, World Turkish Coffee Day has been celebrated every year.
It is celebrated to promote Türkiye's 500-year-old coffee culture and its significant historical value while building cultural bonds.
In the US, following Washington, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser's declaration of Dec. 5 as Turkish Coffee Day in 2020, New York Mayor Eric Adams last year also declared this date World Turkish Coffee Day in the Big Apple.
