Şırnak University Secretary General Assist. Assoc. Prof. Dr. İbrahim Baz said that as faculty members they want to change the negative perception of Şırnak and in this context they want to reveal the richness of the city in terms of oral and abstract culture.

Stating that even the citizens living in the city do not know Şırnak well enough, Baz said, “In this case, people in the west cannot be expected to know this city. Within the scope of the project we prepared, our first study was the book 'Guhşegi'. We prepared the book 'Şırnak Games' with Nurdan Şarman, Deputy Director of Şırnak University School of Tourism and Hotel Management, and lecturers.”

 

Assist. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Baz stated that while preparing the book, the inventory of the games in the city center and districts was collected and citizens were interviewed, and that they saw from these interviews that many of the local games were about to be forgotten.

“Our hope is to produce 18 works in 18 months,” said Secretary General of our University Assist. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Baz and explained that they are happy to prepare the third work.

 

Baz emphasized that their aim is for the new generation to learn these games and grow up by playing these games and said: “We want children to take some time away from computer games and learn these games. We want these books to be branded. Our 3rd book we sent for printing is 'Şırnak Walking Stick'. The 4th book we will prepare will be 'Şırnak Tribes' and the 5th book will be 'Şırnak Tales'.”
