Turkey's Intangible Cultural Heritage

- Default Title
Description
The term "intangible cultural heritage" was created during the programs for "safeguarding the cultural assets" carried out by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) as a natural result of the "tangible cultural heritage" activities. Even if the emergence of this terms is not as old as over 60-year history of the Unesco, which was established in 1946 by 20 countries including Turkey, there is a long "period of searching" and a story. One of the most important paragraph headings of this long story is composed of the Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Hertage, which was accepten on 16 November 1972 in the Unesco General Assemly. The aims and principles of thid convention, to which Turkey became a party in 1983, were defined as studies carried out aimed at safeguarding the historical structures, archaeological sites and the natural-cultural environment and as cultural heritage that should safeguard the cultural tangible structures that were created by humanity over thousands of years and the natural environment in which these structures are located.
