           The roots of Uzbek tolerance, ethnic, cultural and religious tolerance of our people, which serve as the source of our spiritual awakening today, go back to a long history. The presence of mosques, churches and synagogues in our big cities for centuries, and the fact that people of different nationalities and religions have been freely practicing their religious practices, is a confirmation of this. In general, as our nation, made up of different nationalities, has overcome the most difficult and difficult periods of history, the ties of solidarity have strengthened. Peoples who helped each other in difficult times, respected each other's beliefs. As our head of state noted, "Ethnic, cultural and religious tolerance of our people is another inexhaustible source of spiritual revival. For thousands of years, Central Asia has been a center where diverse religions, cultures and ways of life coexisted and lived in peace. Ethnic patience and tolerance have become natural norms necessary for survival and development from the storms of life... It is on this ground that for many centuries world cultures have enriched each other on a global scale ".

The festival is organized once a year and is being held for the second time. The scope of the festival is increasing year by year, and the number of participants is increasing.

“Ипак йўли” туризм ва маданий мерос халқаро университети маҳаллий ва хорижий  магистрлари томонидан  2022 йил 20 декабр куни "Хўжа Насриддин" спектакли намойиш этилди.

20 декабря 2022 года отечественные и зарубежные магистры Международного университета туризма и культурного наследия "Шелковый путь" представили спектакль "Ходжа Насриддин".

 Так кто же  Ходжа Насриддин Афанди? Почему этого человека упоминают в анекдотах, аскиях,шутках?

Ходжа насриддин-национальный герой национального фольклора Средней Азии и Ближнего Востока. Для него характерен вымышленный образ жизни, который веками сохранялся в популярных анекдотах и рассказах о Ходже Насриддине. Хитрый старик бродит по городам со своим верным спутником ослом, попадая в самые разные ситуации.

Ум, мудрость, красноречие, мастерство слова – вот основные черты Ходжи Насриддина. В своих рассказах он высмеивает жадных правителей, лицемеров, трусов, взяточников и чужое зло. Находя нестандартный выход из любой ситуации, умело выслеживая идиотов вокруг пальца, он повсюду в юмористической манере рассказывает о своих приключениях, которые со временем приобретают широкую известность.

Таким образом, литературный герой Ходжа Насриддин становится национальным героем среди многонационального народа Средней Азии, о чем свидетельствуют современные памятники, построенные в Бухаре, Турции и Москве.

Спектакль оставил незабываемые впечатления в сердцах зрителей. Наши студенты продемонстрировали свое мастерство не только в науке, но и в искусстве.
