CAFI Coordinator Features on Azerbaijan State Radio

The coordinator of Khazar University's Cultural Anthropology and Folklore Institute (CAFI), Associate Professor Aynur Gazanfargizi, made an appearance on Azerbaijan State Radio on March 11, 2025, discussing the traditions of "charshanba" (Tuesday celebrations) related to Nowruz.

During the broadcast, the four charshanba celebrations of Nowruz holiday - Water, Fire, Wind, and Earth Tuesdays - were discussed, exploring their significance, historical context, and role in folk traditions. Aynur Gazanfargizi highlighted the connection between these celebrations and ancient Turkic mythology, elaborating on their deep-rooted relationship with the spiritual values and customs of the Azerbaijani people. Addressing questions on the topic, she emphasized the importance of properly conveying these Tuesday traditions to younger generations and preserving this national heritage for future generations. The broadcast, which generated significant interest among listeners, contributed to a deeper understanding of Nowruz traditions.
