Quoting azade: Sorry I should have explaint it further but SunFlowerSeed is right anyway. Newroz means "new day" and it is the welcoming of the new year. It was banned until the year 2000.
Can anyone answer my question? |
Nevruz is a persian word which used at the time of Ottoman Empire, u know the ottoman turkish contains lots of farsi(persian)words. Nevrûz means (nev (new) rûz (day)) new day. In turkish it pronounced in many ways such as “Yeni Günâ€, “Yeni Künâ€, “Çağanâ€, “Ulu Künâ€, “Ulustın Ulu†etc as a bairam name “Altay Kötürgeniâ€, “Bahar Bayramıâ€, “Yörük Bayramıâ€. It is a tradition in Turkic world comes from Central Asia.
All turkic nations celebrate this spring bairam such as Balkars, Bashkirs, Chuvashs, Crimean Tatars, Gagauzs, Karachays, Karakalpaks, Karapapaks, Kazakhs, Kirghiz, Khorasani Turks, Kumyks, Noghais, Qashqay Tatars, Turkmens, Turks of Turkey, Tuvans, Uighurs, Uzbeks, Yakuts, Azerbaijanis, Kurts. It can be seen from chinese sources that several centuries before the B.C Hun Turks had prepared food, meals and gone to the grey for to celebrate the spring fest on the 21th of March same as today.
That is inherited from ancient Turanian religion and not a new idea very old actually.
But at these years it is used for politically by provocateurs who want to break up the country's unity. it was not banned also...
