An international conference titled “Protection of Cultural Heritage: New Perspectives and Threats” was held in Astana, the capital of Kazakhstan, hosted by the Eurasian National University. Kazakh and Turkish scholars discussed ways of safeguarding cultural assets from the standpoints of archaeology, history, anthropology, law, architecture and ecology, and reviewed the results of joint excavations and research projects.
In TRT Avaz’s report, sociologist Nurfer Tercan, a faculty member of the university, was named as the head of the archaeological excavation and cooperation project. It was also noted at the meeting that there are more than 50 settlement sites in the Ereymentau area still waiting to be studied.
