The exhibition strives to inform about the history of Romeyka, a Greek language still spoken in Turkey, and enhance public awareness around the endangered status of Romeyka in contemporary Turkey and its closest cognate, namely, Pontic Greek in Greece.

Diving into the fascinating worlds of Alevism and Bektashism, the symposium explored the spiritual, historical and anthropological dimensions of two intertwined mystical traditions with roots in the Persian Khorasan that were shaped and later flourished in Anatolia and the Balkans after the 14th century until the present day.
