Message of the Organizing Committee
Mount Ararat has attracted the attention of scientists from various disciplines, artists and travelers since ancient times. Mount Ararat, the height of which is 5137 meters, is an important symbol in Anatolia and the Middle East with its religious, folkloric, and historical echoes. The mountain, which is referred as "r-r-t" in the Bible (Old Testament), later took the name Ararat. In fact, “r-r-t” is the Hebrew of Urartu, who established a very powerful kingdom in Eastern Anatolia, Transcaucasia and Northwest Iran between the 9th and 7th centuries BC.
It is believed by both many scientists and theologians that Noah's Ark landed on Mount Ararat after the Great Flood. Similarly, both religious and non-religious sources refer to Mount Ararat as one the landing locations of the Noah’s Ark.
There are many poems, stories, proverbs, and legends in Turkish Folk Literature on this subject. Throughout history, Mount Ararat has inspired civilizations established in Eastern Anatolia, Caucasia, Nakhchivan and Northwest Iran. Mount Ararat, which is an important symbol and source of wealth of Anatolia and the Turkish World, is also a significant example of intangible cultural heritage.
While giving priority to Mount Ararat and its surroundings, the symposium also accepts papers discussing comprehensively the region's history, archeology, art history, geography, geology, economy, tourism, ethnography, language and literature, theology, sports, natural environment, cultural assets, traditional culinary culture and food.
