More than 150 liters of traditional soup went to "hurray" among residents and visitors of the city, who noted that Nauryz-kozhe turned out to be incredibly tasty and fragrant.

- “Kazan” is our family heirloom. This year he turned 242, - said the public figure, member of the ANC Zhumagali Arystan. - For the first time we exhibit this rare exhibit for the celebration of Nauryz. In 1997, when President Nursultan Nazarbayev came to Fedorov district, we cooked “beshbarmak” in this cauldron. And today for the first time in it we prepare Nauryz-kozhe. In general, how this drink prepared since ancient times? All that remained of the winter stocks, cereals, dried or smoked meat, all this was cooked together. Of course, everyone has his own recipe. But on fire, as we are now preparing, this is a tribute to tradition. And in this “kazan” accumulated for 242 years so much energy and this energy we decided to share with everyone!

Also, more than 150 kg of “baursaks” and more than 80 liters of salvage were distributed, which was prepared by the representatives of the Armenian community "Erebuni".

- This soup is brewed from such basic components as “matsun” (sour milk drink) and “dzavar” (wheat cereals), - says the deputy chairman of the community Rachui Gevorgyan. - Savior is very healing and permanently recharges everyone who tries it.

This year, for the first time, the Friendship House exhibited one common yurt, where all 17 ethno-cultural associations were represented, as evidenced by a “shanyrak” of 17 tapes that adorned the yurt's vault inside. In the center of the “dastarkhan” were the symbols of Nauryz, Novruz, Nevruz, Nooruz - mirror, “syamyani” (sprouted wheat grains), pomegranates, apples, sugar, chak-chak, baklava, garlic, and baked larks.

"Each of these things means something." For example, “syamyani” in Azerbaijan is a symbol of the awakening of nature, the birth of a new life, garlic in Turkey was put on the table to drive away evil spirits, sugar is a symbol of prosperity, grenades are a symbol of longevity and health, "says Balajai Ardabaev, deputy head of KSU "Public contracts". - The holiday of the spring equinox is inherent not only to the Turkic peoples, but also Slavic. By March 21-22 in Russia baked from the dough some lark. It was believed that it was this bird that flies one of the first and becomes a herald of spring. We told all about this to those who visited our “yurt”, demonstrating everyday objects, kitchen utensils, musical instruments, crafts of our communities.

Next to the stage was a concert program conducted by Khoja Nasreddin and Aldar Kose, and together with them performed the creative collectives of ethno-cultural associations.

"Nauryz stepped over the millennia, becoming a truly popular holiday, uniting all Kazakhstan people," said Ergashva Holmetov, chairman of the Tajik-Uzbek community “Shark”. - This is a holiday of peace, good and friendship. No wonder the Eastern wisdom says: "The power of a bird in the wings, the strength of man - in friendship!" And this friendship, the unity of all ethnic groups living in Kazakhstan, we show in all its diversity, glorifying the spring and the coming of the New Year!
