Conference on Disappearing Uygur Traditional Arts by Oguzhan Tugrul

Post scriptum:
It is a wonder why TURKS exhibition in England did not mention
Turks' vital contribution to world civilization
by inventing (using paper long before its invention
on the west side of the Great Wall)
to record history ! besides the inscribed stones that are on exhibit.

PPS.British Library has a Dunhuang library web site,
Musee Guimet has wooden printing blocks which outdate Gutenberg....

PPPS.This exhibition and promotion of Central Asian Uygur culture
could have taken place long long time ago
considering Mehmet Emin Bugra was from Hotan,
and there are Uygur associations in England for some time,
and in germany for many decades....

cordially,
oguzhan
