Telling Tradition of Nasreddin Hodja/ Molla Nesreddin/ Molla Ependi/ Apendi/ Afendi Kozhanasyr Anecdotes
The Telling Tradition of Nasreddin Anecdotes refers to a group of social practices that are practiced in several countries of the Eurasian region. It is related to the anecdote narration attributed to the philosopher and sage Nasreddin, who is known for his wisdom and humorous analyzes that represent society and express life experiences.
These anecdotes are characterized by wisdom and quick wit, and often deviate from the framework of accepted norms, and their narrator finds unexpected ways to get out of complex situations, and always emerges victorious thanks to argument and the power of the word. The anecdotes have an instructive and entertaining function, and communities use them to enrich conversations.
Municipalities, universities, and NGOs play a vital role in transmitting tales and organizing various activities and festivals to commemorate them at the local, national, and international levels.
