Today, here, we all share the excitement of protecting the nature that has bequeathed us this heritage, preserving the culture, and promoting our district's tourism potential. This festival is not just an entertainment event; it is also a showcase of our district's natural and cultural values. In short, we are a district that has hosted many civilizations, possessing an ancient history and a unique geography. To the east lies the Garzan River, which adorns our district from top to bottom; to the west lies the Malabadi Bridge, the pearl of the Artuqids, a legacy of thousands of years of civilization; to the north lies the summit of Mount Mereto, at an altitude of 2,973 meters; and to the south lies the Dilmaçoğulları Principality." "The mysterious ancient city of Erzen, once the capital, is located in the interior of our district. With the Ayngebire Valley and waterfall in the interior, the historic İbrahim Bey and Hıdır Bey Mosques reflecting all the beauties of Islamic civilization, and Kozluk, with its castles that defy history, is a showcase of living history and humanity. "In our district, the Land of Castles," famous for its local products, integrated with history, including its registered tomatoes, honey, tobacco, rock salt, sahran (a type of fruit), and pears, we aim to raise awareness of the preservation of these beauties and pass them on to future generations with our third festival," he said.
