A joint exhibition of Bulgarian and Turkish embroideries and costumes opened Thursday night at the BTA National Press Club in Ankara. It was organized on the initiative of the Bulgarian Embassy in Turkiye, and financed by the National Culture Fund.

The event started with an address from the Bulgarian Ambassador to Turkiye Angel Cholakov, and was attended by members of the academia, embroidery artisans, and NGO representatives. 

The dynamics of our time pose great challenges to the preservation of cultural heritage. This joint exhibition of fabrics, embroideries, and costumes is one of the proofs that past, present, and future can coexist, said the director of the Samokov History Museum Veselin Hadzhiangelov.
