Türkü Radyo 1.2

Anatolia is like a river where the cultural and social heritage of the civilizations it has harbored converge. Each society living on it has turned it into a mosaic consisting of hundreds of colors. From architecture to music, from folk dances to traditions, many values have blended in the same melting pot and found the opportunity to express themselves in this common homeland we call Anatolia. This cultural accumulation, unique to any geography in the world, has been a significant factor in the social and individual structuring of the civilizations it has harbored throughout history.

• Hacı Bektaş-ı Veli, who unites the lion and the gazelle in the same embrace,
• Mevlana who says "Come, come, whoever you are",
• Yunus Emre who explains human love with the words "See the created, not the Creator",
• Pir Sultan Abdal who calls for unity and solidarity among people by saying "Come souls, let's be one",
• Aşık Veysel who expresses the unity of God with humans with the phrase "The same entity in every body",

have played important roles in shaping Anatolian culture with their works and ideas that promote tolerance and love for humanity. Poets like Ahmet Yesevi, Hacı Bayram Veli, Abdal Musa, Kaygusuz Abdal, Hatayi, Kul Himmet, Muhyi, Erzurumlu Emrah, Karacaoğlan, Seyrani, Teslim Abdal, Dertli, Dadaloğlu, and Köroğlu who can bring even the most opposite poles of humanity together have guided the people of Anatolia towards truth, love, and peace from strings to hearts through centuries. Numerous intellectuals of Anatolia whose names and contributions we cannot enumerate have been the most important building blocks of this shared culture on these lands. Their ideas have been added to each other for centuries and have evolved into a common cultural heritage connecting people to one another.

1. Through the contributions of many poets and thinkers, this shared heritage called Anatolia has become even richer. This accumulation has played an important role in nurturing new intellectual and artistic leaders.

As Turkish Radio team, we aim to preserve these noble values and be their voice. I sincerely thank all our dedicated staff for their diligent work.
