“UZBEKISTAN – THE LAND OF TOLERANCE”

An educational event under this theme was held at the Imam Bukhari International Scientific Research Center. The event was attended by the prominent Turkish scholar, Rector of Pamukkale University, Professor Mahmud Güngör, alongside university representatives and the Center’s scientific team.

The scientific cooperation between the Imam Bukhari International Scientific Research Center and Pamukkale University, which has been significantly contributing to the study, preservation and transmission of the legacy of Islamic scholars, stands as a vivid example of the broad Uzbekistan-Turkey partnership.

During the event, discussions were held on strengthening bilateral relations and expanding the scope of joint projects. The participants also spoke about the efforts carried out in multiethnic and multifaith Uzbekistan to reinforce solidarity among different nationalities and ethnic groups, promote mutual respect for cultural traditions, ensure peaceful coexistence and uphold social stability through wise reforms and practical measures.

“Today, tolerance is one of humanity’s greatest achievements and it will remain a key factor in future progress,” said Dr. Mahmud Güngör. “Uzbekistan has created an atmosphere of strong friendship, harmony and mutual respect among followers of different religions and confessions. Particularly in this context, the attention given to rare scholarly treasures such as manuscript sources, as well as the measures taken to preserve and study them, is truly commendable. We are truly honored to be cooperating with such an esteemed institution in a land of harmony, especially in the field of studying these invaluable sources.”

The meeting was held in a friendly spirit, marked by active dialogue, questions and answers and a vibrant scientific atmosphere.
