2- To develop production capabilities together with Demirözü Livestock Transportation Food Construction Limited Company, which is established in Demirözü district and has established a sufficient level of infrastructure in terms of both its machine park, land portfolio and production capability.

3- To create a production range that is compatible with the soil and climate structure of the region, while remaining loyal to Good Agricultural Practices, and to present the products to be produced to the market with quality, logistics, packaging and content information that will meet the expectations of the end consumer.

5- To establish the necessary mechanisms to achieve the targeted goals, to have a sustainable financial structure by reaching national and international financial supports.

6- To encourage agricultural production by reducing modern agricultural practices and good agricultural practices to the micro-producer level, and at the same time, to prevent migration from rural to urban areas in the first place and to contribute to the beginning of the “reverse migration” phenomenon, which is the basic mission of the Kenan Yavuz Ethnography Museum.

Kenan Yavuz Ethnography Museum, the first Turkish Museum to win the world’s two most important awards in the field of cultural heritage by carrying the ancient culture of Anatolia to a universal scale with an institutional perspective, hosted the “Memory from the Steppe to the World” project.

Museum Board Member Furkan Yavuz said, “We are very happy to host the “Memory from the Steppe to the World” project prepared by valuable photographer and writer Melissa Mey and Pianist Composer Emre Nurbeyler, accompanied by violinist Assoc. Prof. Dr. Bahar Büyükgönenç. We should remind and refresh our social memory with factual actions and make it visible using contemporary tools. The “memory” project consisting of eight photographs and eight compositions made for each one suits our museum very well. Because Bayburt played an important role in the Turkification of Anatolian lands and was a part of the ancient homeland of the Akkoyunlu, Seljuk and Ottoman Civilizations. The “Swallow Ceiling” used in the architectural texture of Bayburt houses consists of 8 layers and symbolizes the principles of the Seljuk Civilization of “mercy, compassion, patience, truthfulness, keeping secrets, loyalty, generosity and gratitude”. The eight photographs in the project were chosen with inspiration from the swallow ceiling tradition that we keep alive. As a museum established in the Anatolian steppe, we continue to carry our cultural codes to the future,” he said.

Photographer Melissa Mey said, “Our project started when Emre Nurbeyler wanted to compose music on my photographs last year. The sadness I experienced when my mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in the same months allowed me to look at life from a different perspective. Forgetting experiences means “social dementia” as much as it is individual, and its results are irreparably devastating. Museums, the pillars of our social memory, are the most effective medicine against this threat. It is very valuable for me that our project takes place in this museum, which was established with the aim of carrying our beauties that should not be forgotten to the future and has become a worldwide phenomenon.”

Pianist and composer Emre Nurbeyler also said, “I reflected the spirit represented by Melissa Hocam’s multi-layered photographs in my compositions. Memories are our most valuable accumulations that make us exist. We cannot allow our values, which especially enrich our cultural heritage, to be forgotten. We must carry our values ​​as a legacy to the world of the future.”

Violinist Assoc. Prof. Dr. Bahar Büyükgönenç, who said, “The strongest bond of existence that extends to the roots is museums,” said, “I accompanied eight photographs and the composition made for each with my violin. I was proud to be in such a project in a museum that tries to keep the memory of our Anatolia alive in the middle of the steppe. Kenan Yavuz Ethnography Museum, which brings time together with space, preserves it, keeps it alive and connects it to its roots, is the life of our social memory.”

Harvesting was carried out with old agricultural tools specific to the region at the “Harman Festival” held in Bayburt.

The culture, social life and beauties of the city were presented to visitors at the event organized by the Kenan Yavuz Ethnography Museum in Beşpınar village of Demirözü district of Bayburt. Harvesting was carried out with traditional methods accompanied by folk songs using agricultural tools from approximately 100 years ago at the festival held in the wheat field near the museum.

Kenan Yavuz, the founder of the museum, said that they strive to introduce the beauties of Anatolia to both the country and the world. Stating that they want to convey to future generations by keeping emotions such as sharing, working together, having fun, helping each other and helping the fallen on the agenda, Yavuz said, “We are organizing a harvest festival held under conditions of 50 to 100 years ago in order to ensure that new generations learn. This is the most unique example of the structure we call culture and experience tourism today. I think such an event is not held in Turkey or the world in this form.”

Yavuz emphasized that they have brought a new perspective to the concept of museums in this sense, and said, “In other words, we provide visitors with the opportunity to experience and we experience this beauty together. We are trying to spread and recognize cultural tourism, introduce our folk songs, melodies and affection to the world.”

Harvesting was done with old agricultural tools at the “Harman Festival” in Bayburt – 1
Aysel Toplu, who came to Bayburt with a team of 30 people from Trabzon for the festival, also stated that the beauty, brotherhood, life and abundance of Anatolia were told in the museum.

Toplu, who stated that they both had a good time and experienced old experiences in the museum, noted the following:

“Hopefully, such museums will spread all over Anatolia in a way that will remind us that we are a production society. I think that young people will understand what production is, and that they will learn how beautiful and livable Anatolia is and that they should not leave their villages in this way.”

Naim Yavuz, who said that the museum took him back to his childhood and memories, said, “We were refreshed with great memories in a festival. I would like to thank Kenan Bey for this. A window opening to the world in such a mountain village at an altitude of 1700 meters has made this place a village that is talked about all over the world. People come here and live their past with great enthusiasm.”

The “From Harvest to Harvest” concert was held at the Kenan Yavuz Ethnography Museum, which is the only museum to have two of the world’s most important awards in the field of cultural heritage and was also deemed worthy of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism’s special award in 2022.

Bass Baritone Burak Bilgili and Pianist Fügen Yiğitbaşı took the stage in the third of the traditional “From Harvest to Harvest” concerts.
The concert, which was held with the participation of 10 journalists invited from abroad by the Turkish Tourism Promotion and Development Agency in order to support the spread and promotion of cultural tourism in Anatolia, attracted great attention.
Museum Founder Kenan Yavuz said in his statement, “We have achieved great success in the international arena thanks to our original work in the field of Cultural Heritage. Our museum, which was crowned with the Special Award of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism in 2022, strives to keep alive and tell the ancient culture, traditional social life and intangible cultural heritage of Anatolia. Within the framework of the strategy of spreading cultural activities initiated by our Ministry to Anatolia, we hosted 10 journalists invited by the Turkish Tourism Promotion and Development Agency from various countries and visited our museum with them, mowed, drove, and played pathos at the harvest festival and then we were together at a magnificent concert given by our internationally successful opera artists, Bass Baritone Burak Bilgili and Pianist Fügen Yiğitgil. Universal compositions were blended with Anatolian melodies and met in our harvest. Many art lovers from Bayburt and surrounding provinces attended our concert. The future trend in tourism has started to be culture and experience-oriented. Every corner of Anatolia has a different story, a different beauty, we have to institutionalize these beauties with a systematic approach and carry them to the future. There is a need for tourism clusters in new geographies. Indeed, the “culture road” initiative initiated by our Ministry of Culture and Tourism has mobilized Anatolian cities. The expectations of qualified and white-collar tourists are now based on nature, natural life, local colors, local folklore and local gastronomy. As Kenan Yavuz Ethnography Museum, we were deemed worthy of the 2022 special award of our ministry for presenting an original structure in culture and experience tourism, and we had the honor of receiving our award from our President on January 24, 2023. As a village museum in the rural areas of Anatolia, we are an exemplary social responsibility project. We will continue to make our cultural depth visible and introduce Anatolia to the world with the events we organize,” he said. Bayburt Governor Mustafa Eldivan, who attended the concert, said, “I was very happy to come across such a magnificent event just a few days after I took office. I would like to thank our very valuable artists and everyone who contributed. Although we are the smallest province in Turkey, we have two special museums crowned with the most important awards in the international arena. I served as a district governor in many regions of our country, especially in many districts that stand out with their historical and cultural textures. I tried to support culture-oriented projects. We need original civil initiatives, such as the Kenan Yavuz Ethnography Museum, in every corner, mountain and stone of Anatolia. It is extremely important for our business world to allocate resources and support such works within the scope of social responsibility. We had a wonderful time together with our journalist citizens from foreign countries, whom we hosted with the support of our Ministry of Culture and Tourism, at a wonderful concert and shared the ancient beauties of Anatolia with them. As Bayburt, we aim to be one of the cities that have a say in cultural tourism,” he said

The jury, which included important names from the design world such as Paul Robbercht, Kentaro Takeguchi, Prof. Ron Nabarro, and Jose Martinez, announced that Kenan Yavuz Ethnography Museum was deemed worthy of the award for its successful work in the field of cultural identity, carrying the past to the future with creative projects, and bringing local tradition together with the global world. Kenan Yavuz Ethnography Museum Board Member and External Relations Coordinator Furkan Yavuz, who managed the process leading up to the award, said the following about the award:

“Our museum, which uses the mottos of ‘Return to the Roots’ and ‘Those Who Come to Us Live Us’, won the European Museum Forum Silletto Grand Prize and the Museum of the Year Award in 2021, and then received the 2022 European Union Cultural Heritage Europa Nostra Award and the Special Award of our Ministry of Culture and Tourism from our President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, which increased our responsibilities and reinforced our excitement.

The story of our family, which we started as an amateur 12 years ago, met with the spirit of Anatolia, grew and turned into a place that represents our country in the international arena and carries our ancient culture as a flag today. Today, it was awarded the Grand Prix Tourism Design Grand Prize at the “Big See Tourism Design Week 2023” summit in Slovenia by a jury consisting of very important names from the world of design and architecture. Our story, reflecting the spirit of our land, has won one of the most important cultural design awards in the world by carrying the ancient heritage of Anatolia, the cultural capital of the world, from today to the future. It has been a great source of pride for us on behalf of our family, friends and our country.

We have fixed one foot on the soil of our village and are traveling around the world with the other foot. Being the first museum of our country to win such important awards in the field of cultural heritage has become a great success story, as defined by our cultural ambassadors.

We have brought a brand new perspective to the world museum understanding. Our museum has transformed the issue of migration from village to city, the importance of agriculture and animal husbandry, the unique architecture of Anatolian villages, and our traditional life that should not be forgotten into factual messages with a holistic approach. My late grandfather Mecit Yavuz’s legacy to my father Kenan Yavuz, ‘Son, whatever you are, do not forget your village, use the opportunities God has given you to pay your debt to your land’ has become our red apple. We, as the third generation, will hopefully carry the flag of this heritage forward.”

Speaking at the ceremony, the Ambassador of the Republic of Turkey to Slovenia, Aylin Taşhan, said, “I am very happy to participate in the 2023 Big See Design Conference as the Ambassador of Turkey. I congratulate the Big See Platform for this magnificent organization. Turkey is the intersection point of the deep cultural heritage of the east and the west, the north and the south, with its architectural, design and cultural richness. Today, I congratulate the Kenan Yavuz Ethnography Museum, which received the Tourism Design Grand Award, and I believe that this award will increase the cooperation between our countries and allow for better mutual recognition of our cultures.”

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan made a statement at the Special Awards Ceremony of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism. President Erdoğan said: “We reject the neighborhood pressure that standardizes Turkey’s rich cultural climate. We do not accept ideologies that imprison art in stereotypes,” he said.
Here are the headlines from President Erdogan’s statements:

Thus, we expressed our gratitude to many values that have written their names in our history. Our young people, who are interested in the fields of culture and art, present their works by being inspired by the masters. These awards are important in terms of encouraging our young people, as well as their recognition in our country and in the world. This sensitivity was acted upon while determining the winners of the awards. Within the framework of the evaluations, the first of our 3 organizations is the Gökyay Foundation Chess Museum. Our museum, which draws attention with its rich collection, contributes to the spread of chess among our youth.

The second of our establishments is the Kenan Yavuz Ethnography Museum. It is an original project. Our museum builds a bridge from the past to the present. I went, I visited, I saw, I also talked to him. Bayburt He had not seen such works since he became Bayburt. I congratulate everyone who contributed to our national culture. The Ahi organization is the guarantee of the brotherhood of our nation. The third prize winner is the Ahi Culture Research and Education Foundation. I would like to express my gratitude to the 3 institutions to which we will present the awards. I would also like to thank the esteemed members of our jury.

Culture and art is one of the pillars that keep nations alive. The permanence of the gains in the defense economy and other fields depends on culture and art. Nations with a rich culture and people of heart have always succeeded in rising from their ashes, no matter what they live. Today, winds are blowing in the place of many states called indestructible. But societies that have made a breakthrough in culture, science and art are still standing tall. It is our cultural depth that we can survive as a Turkish nation. Anatolian lands, which have been the cradle of dozens of civilizations, offer a unique treasure. Whichever city we go to, we come across a work that amazes people. As a country and as a nation, we are sitting on magnificent history.

“WE ARE SEEING OUR CULTURE IS Liberating”

As the government, we have taken important steps in the light of these truths. We seek to support success without discriminating between art and our artists. We reject the neighborhood pressure that standardizes Turkey’s rich cultural climate. We do not accept ideologies that imprison art in stereotypes. We see our culture liberating. Just looking at the successes of our cinema series industry in recent years reveals that the pressure of the neighborhood is doomed to backwardness. We encourage this process by supporting our arts and artists, without separating them as traditional or modern. With our Atatürk Cultural Center, which we brought to Istanbul, and our 80 new cultural centers, we have shown importance to art and artists. We turned the Rami Barracks, which has a place in the history of our Istanbul, into a library and cultural center and put it into service.

We attach importance to protecting our common values, which represent the unity of our nation. We declared 2023 as the Year of Mevlana. We will commemorate Mevlana together with the programs to be organized throughout the year. We will work hard to make love prevail instead of hatred. I expect all our institutions, especially our Ministry of Culture and Tourism, to make the necessary effort.
