The traditional festival Gezlev Qapusı took place in Kezlev (Eupatoria) for the 22nd time, bringing together Crimean Tatar and Turkic performers from across the peninsula. Guests enjoyed Ashik poetry readings, art exhibitions, and concerts in the heart of the old city. As always, the Crimean Tatar folk ensemble Qirim opened the festival with a special program dedicated to the medieval poet Ashik Umer.
