|Not fewer than 150 or more than 250 words |

|Traditional Turkish Archery is an intangible cultural heritage element, consisting of its principles, rituals and social practices, |

|craftsmanship of traditional equipment, archery disciplines and shooting techniques evolved over centuries, which has been shaped around a |

|sportive activity. |

|In traditional Turkish archery, there are different types of disciplines practiced on foot and on horseback. The archery on foot discipline |

|includes “Menzil” (Long-Distance), “Darp” (Pounding) and “Puta” (Target) shootings. Horseback archery discipline includes “Kıgaç”, “Kabak” and |

|“Tabla” shootings. |

|Bearers and practitioners of the element train individually or collectively to improve their archery skills, carry out individual shootings, |

|and take part in competitions and festive events. Archers learn from masters the traditional shooting techniques and skills which allow them to|

|perform either foot or horseback shootings. In all stages of practice, archers strictly act in accordance with the certain principles, rules |

|and rituals related to the element. |

|Craftsmanship of traditional archery equipment is also important component of the element. These equipment are made by craftspeople who have |

|the skills and knowledge of materials as well as patience and mastery. Making the equipment requires raw materials such as trees grown under |

|certain climatic conditions at high altitudes, organic glues, horns, tendons, silk and leather, and so craftspeople should have an advanced |

|knowledge of nature, including plants, animals and climate. Archery equipment is generally decorated with calligraphy, ornaments and marquetry.|

|Who are the bearers and practitioners of the element? Are there any specific roles, including gender-related ones or categories of persons with|

|special responsibilities for the practice and transmission of the element? If so, who are they and what are their responsibilities? |

|Not fewer than 150 or more than 250 words |

|The bearers and practitioners of this element are not only the archers, but also the craftspeople who make the archery equipment. |

|Archers who use traditional equipment and shooting techniques follow the defined rules, principles and rituals related to the element during |

|training of talip with the aim of transmitting their knowledge to the next generations. They ensure the viability of the element by adopting it|

|in line with contemporary conditions. |

|Craftspeople engaged in the craftsmanship of traditional archery equipment, play an important role in the safeguarding of the element. To be |

|able to practice various types of archery such as archery on foot or horseback archery, archers need to have the appropriate equipment specific|

|to these types. Making traditional archery equipment requires skills that are either transmitted from a master to apprentice, or are |

|self-learning. |

|Both female and male bearers play an equal role in safeguarding and transmission of the element to the next generations. In recent years, there|

|has been a remarkable increase in the numbers of female archers and trainee. |

|Today, communities, groups and individuals concerned with the element practice it at amateur sports clubs with NGO status, and carry out works |

|to safeguard the element. Recent years have witnessed a significant increase in the numbers of NGOs involved in archery in various regions of |

|Turkey. NGOs play a special role in the transmission and safeguarding of element through the social solidarity environment they create and the |

|opportunities they provide to young people. |

|How are the knowledge and skills related to the element transmitted today? |

|Not fewer than 150 or more than 250 words |

|Tâlip learn the element from master archers who they refer to as “üstat”. In order for someone to be a trainee, s/he must first be accepted by |

|the master. In evaluation process masters pay more attention on moral and traditional principles than physical abilities of students. |

|The master and trainees train every day regularly, in a certain disciplined way. These training sessions are called “meşk”. After reaching an |

|adequate level and acquired necessary qualifications to become an archer, trainee take the permission from the master. |

|The rituals of permission called “kabza alma töreni (taking grip ceremony)” have an important role in the transmission of the element. In this |

|ceremony, the master places a bow in the trainee’s hands, symbolising the transfer of traditional knowledge from generation to generation. The |

|ceremony continues with prayers, a meal and ends with the master whispering some specific advice into the trainee’s ear. |

|Informal and non-formal ways of education are also commonly used for the transmission of archery skills. NGOs organize traditional archery and |

|equipment making courses for young people with the support of central and local authorities. NGOs also carry out promotional activities in |

|public places, particularly at museums and schools, and organize national/international competitions and festivals. |

|Formal education plays a role in the transmission of the element. “Turkish Bow Making” course is available as a selective course at some |

|technical universities. Furthermore, some NGOs have signed protocols with the Provincial Directorates of National Education in order to teach |

|the element at highs schools. |

|What social functions and cultural meanings does the element have for its community nowadays? |

|Not fewer than 150 or more than 250 words |

|Traditional Turkish Archery basically aims to contribute physical and mental development of the practitioners. During training, master archers |

|give great importance to make young archers have self-discipline, good manners, knowledge of cultural values, sense of respect for the |

|environment and nature. For its practitioners the element is part of their historical and cultural identity, and strengthens the sense of |

|cultural continuity. In this regard, the element have educational, social, cultural functions for its community. |

|In archery on foot, most of the practitioners attribute religious and Sufistic meanings to element, and give great importance to the rituals |

|during the practices. The Islamic ritual of personal cleaning, known as “abdest” (ablution), is practiced before daily trainings and |

|competitions. As one of the Sufistic sense related to the element, archers shout “Ya Hakk!”(O Allah!) before every shoot. It is believed that |

|each arrow is shot for Allah with this shout. Therefore all practises of foot archers turn into rituals that require commitment to principles |

|of the element. |

|The element has aspects that keep alive social practices, collective memory and oral culture. For example, during their wedding ceremonies, |

|bride and groom archers shoot arrows targeting their wedding rings. Some children’s plays like marble and “ok-yay” games are also regarded as |

|training practices. The names of the cultural places of the element like “Ok Meydanı (Archery Fields) in İstanbul, Bursa, Edirne and Trabzon, |

|are still kept alive in urban memory. Terms that originated in archery, have included into colloquial language as idioms. |

|Is there any part of the element that is not compatible with existing international human rights instruments or with the requirement of mutual |

|respect among communities, groups and individuals, or with sustainable development? |

|Not fewer than 150 or more than 250 words |

|The element has been practiced as a sport for centuries by people from all segments of the society, regardless of their gender, social, |

|cultural, economic, ethnic or religious background. |

|Although religious rituals are important aspects of the element, it is fully open to people from all religions and beliefs, and nobody is |

|excluded when practicing the element. During competitions, an attitude based on mutual respect is given utmost priority, contrary attitudes are|

|considered to be against the spirit of the element. In this regard, as a principle, it is never allowed to offend any group, nation or |

|religious community and give priority to anybody due to their status. |

|As a basic rule, hunting is totally excluded in traditional Turkish archery. Furthermore in the practices or rituals of the element archers |

|never damage nature and any living creatures. |

|The sourcing of raw materials for traditional archery equipment is based on a sustainability principles which are also respectful to |

|environment and nature. Horns and tendons used in equipment making are obtained from slaughterhouses or butchers. Furthermore, during the |

|determination of the archery spaces, great attention is paid to avoiding any hazard to the migration routes of birds. Timber materials are |

|sourced in a sustainable way through plantation trees grown for the specific purpose being trimmed as required. |

|Horses used in horseback archery are raised with special care, and any acts that jeopardize the physical or psychological health of horses |

|during training or competitions are against the basic principles of the element. |

|2. Contribution to ensuring visibility and awareness and to encouraging dialogue |

|For Criterion R.2, the States shall demonstrate that ‘Inscription of the element will contribute to ensuring visibility and awareness of the |

|significance of the intangible cultural heritage and to encouraging dialogue, thus reflecting cultural diversity worldwide and testifying to |

|human creativity’. This criterion will only be considered to be satisfied if the nomination demonstrates how the possible inscription would |

|contribute to ensuring the visibility and awareness of the significance of intangible cultural heritage in general, and not only of the |

|inscribed element itself, and to encouraging dialogue that respects cultural diversity. |

|How could the inscription of the element on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity contribute to the |

|visibility of the intangible cultural heritage in general (and not only of the inscribed element itself) and raise awareness of its importance?|

|(i.a) Please explain how this would be achieved at the local level. |

|Not fewer than 100 or more than 150 words |

|The element is mostly practiced via amateur sport clubs with NGO status by the practitioners at local level. Therefore, NGOs play active role |

|in its safeguarding. The inscription will encourage much more practitioners to gather under these NGOs which are already well-informed about |

|and mostly adapted to ICH Convention. That is why, the higher the number of members and activities they have, the more visible and known the |

|ICH will be. |

|The element is in close interaction with other elements from various domains of ICH. The handicrafts, for example, related with the element |

|will also be regarded as ICH elements by their practitioners who get aware of ICH and its importance. In this way, promotion of the inscription|

|of the element will lead to a raise in the awareness of ICH among the practitioners of other ICH elements at the local level. |

|(i.b) Please explain how this would be achieved at the national level. |

|Not fewer than 100 or more than 150 words |

|element will take the attention of the local and national media. In this way, promotional films, news of festive events and other activities |

|about the element and ICH in general, will take more place in TV programs, newspapers, magazines and social media. Moreover, with the |

|inscription, not only the visibility of the element but also the perception of ICH will be reinforced in the mind of the society. This |

|reinforcement will lead the society to aware of the importance of ICH and encourage them to safeguard their intangible cultural elements at |

|national level. |

| (i.c) Please explain how this would be achieved at the international level. |

|Not fewer than 100 or more than 150 words |

|Inscription of the element will raise awareness of the people who are interested in traditional archery sport in different geographical areas |

|of the world. Inscription of the element will also contribute to a better international recognition and increase interaction among traditional |

|sportsmen/women, craftspeople, experts which are directly related with traditional archery. In addition, inscription of the element will |

|increase the international interest in other elements of intangible cultural heritage that are shaped around traditional sports branches and |

|will inspire efforts to safeguard similar elements of intangible cultural heritage. Thus, it will contribute to inform larger part of |

|communities about 2003 Convention at international levels, and will also raise awareness about importance of the intangible cultural heritage |

|among communities. |

|How would dialogue among communities, groups and individuals be encouraged by the inscription of the element? |

|Not fewer than 100 or more than 150 words |

|Today, traditional archery is practiced by different communities as disciplines with distinctive techniques, equipment and social practices all|

|around the world. International traditional archery festivals are organized every year in which different disciplines are represented by |

|archers from countries. Those taking part in these events wear traditional attires, introduce their music, dance, cuisine, other traditional |

|sports branches and share their knowledge and experience of traditional archery among communities, groups and individuals. |

|Events organized at the national level provide an environment for people from different socio-cultural and economic backgrounds from the |

|various regions of Turkey. These people can share their local and cultural values and practices with other participants. |

|The inscription will increase interest in national and international festive events and strengthen the appropriate bases for the support of |

|these events, and will enhance the cultural dialogue environment for communities, groups and individuals at local, national and international |

|levels. |

|How would human creativity and respect for cultural diversity be promoted by the inscription of the element? |

|Not fewer than 100 or more than 150 words |

|With the inscription, bearers and practitioners of the element from different religious, ethnic, age, gender, cultural and economic backgrounds|

|will find more opportunities to come together, share their knowledge and experiences. This will strengthen the respect for cultural diversity |

|among communities, groups and individuals related to the element at local, national and international levels. |

|The techniques and skills used in the making of archery equipment have a function of enhancing human creativity and raising awareness of |

|knowledge and practices concerning nature. Craftspeople making traditional archery equipment develop their materials and technical knowledge |

|with new designs. The craftsmanship of this element enriches the human creativity due to the use of natural resources. The inscription of the |

|element, as a rich source of human creativity, will inspire creative projects in similar craftsmanship in different parts of the world, and |

|will also contribute to the respect for human creativity. |

|4. Community participation and consent in the nomination process |

|For Criterion R.4, States shall demonstrate that ‘the element has been nominated following the widest possible participation of the community, |

|group or, if applicable, individuals concerned and with their free, prior and informed consent’. |

|4.a. Participation of communities, groups and individuals concerned in the nomination process |

|Describe how the community, group or, if applicable, individuals concerned have actively participated in all stages of the preparation of the |

|nomination, including in terms of the role of gender. |

|States Parties are encouraged to prepare nominations with the participation of a wide variety of other parties concerned, including, where |

|appropriate, local and regional governments, communities, NGOs, research institutes, centres of expertise and others. States Parties are |

|reminded that the communities, groups and, in some cases, individuals whose intangible cultural heritage is concerned are essential |

|participants throughout the conception and preparation of nominations, proposals and requests, as well as the planning and implementation of |

|safeguarding measures, and are invited to devise creative measures to ensure that their widest possible participation is built in at every |

|stage, as required by Article 15 of the Convention. |

|Not fewer than 300 or more than 500 words |

|The registration of Traditional Turkish Archery on the Intangible Cultural Heritage National Inventory of Turkey in 2014 has raised the |

|awareness of significance of ICH among concerned communities. They applied to the MoCT for submit the element for the inscription on the |

|Representative List. ICH Commission of Experts, working as an advisory body, evaluated the request and nomination file preparation process has |

|launched in accordance with the recommendations of ICH Commission of Experts. |

|A Working Group composed of practitioners and bearers of the element and ICH experts was formed in 2016 by the MoCT. This working group |

|identified concerned NGOs and individuals and then formed a contact information list. The working group contacted with the representatives of |

|the NGOs, researchers and practitioners of the element, and drafted the nomination file by taking into account the provided information. In |

|accordance with the proposal of the Working Group, it was decided to organize a meeting with the broadest possible participation of NGO |

|representatives and individuals related to the element. |

|Relevant NGOs, researchers and practitioners of the element were formally invited to take part in the meeting via letter, e-mail or telephone. |

|NGOs were asked to give priority to women when selecting representatives in order to ensure an equal gender representation for the meeting. The|

|“Traditional Turkish Archery Nomination File Writing and Preparation Meeting” was hosted by the Okmeydanı Sport and Education Foundation in |

|İstanbul on 11th February 2017 with the broad participation of NGO representatives and practitioners of the element. During the meeting, the |

|participants were informed about the Convention for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage and the Representative List of Intangible |

|Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Each article on the draft version of ICH-02 Form was presented to the participants, and their opinions and |

|comments were noted. All of the participants declared their sincere support of the nomination process, both during and after the meeting. |

|After the meeting, an e-mail group was formed, and all participants and those who could not attend the meeting were included into the contact |

|list. Draft version of the form after the meeting was shared with them for their evaluation. The final version of the file was formed in |

|accordance with the received proposals and contributions, and it is approved by relevant community and individuals. The relevant community and |

|individuals also shared their own visual materials to assist in the preparation of the documentary video and photographs necessary for the |

|nomination file. |

|On 2nd February 2018, a teleconference was held with the participation of bearers, practitioners and NGOs representatives for taking their |

|opinion about re-submitting to the nomination file which the final version was formed in 2017. At the teleconference, it was accepted that the |

|same nomination file should be submitted with updates. |

|4.b. Free, prior and informed consent to the nomination |

|The free, prior and informed consent to the nomination of the element of the community, group or, if applicable, individuals concerned may be |

|demonstrated through written or recorded concurrence, or through other means, according to the legal regimens of the State Party and the |

|infinite variety of communities and groups concerned. The Committee will welcome a broad range of demonstrations or attestations of community |

|consent in preference to standard or uniform declarations. Evidence of free, prior and informed consent shall be provided in one of the working|

|languages of the Committee (English or French), as well as in the language of the community concerned if its members use languages other than |

|English or French. |

|Attach to the nomination form information showing such consent and indicate below what documents you are providing, how they were obtained and |

|what form they take. Indicate also the gender of the people providing their consent. |

|Not fewer than 150 or more than 250 words |

|At the “Traditional Turkish Archery Nomination File Writing and Preparation Meeting” held on 11th February 2017, the participants expressed |

|their strong support for the nomination. The NGOs, bearers and practitioners showed this support for the nomination by providing various |

|written and visual materials and social media posts to assist the nomination file preparation. The representatives of NGOs, bearers and |

|practitioners and even those who could not attend the meeting wrote consent letters and sent via post to the MoCT. During the nomination file |

|preparation and writing process, any opposition was raised neither by relevant NGOs nor by individuals to the nomination of the element to the |

|Representative List. |

|After the teleconference held on 2nd February 2018, bearers and practitioners and NGOs once again sent their letters of consent to express |

|their support to the nomination file. In these letters they also mentioned about their efforts and activities in 2017. |

|Consent letters of 20 bearers and practitioners and 25 NGOs, whose detailed information are given in section 4.d, are attached on the |

|Nomination File as an Appendix. |

|4.c. Respect for customary practices governing access to the element |

|Access to certain specific aspects of intangible cultural heritage or to information about it is sometimes restricted by customary practices |

|enacted and conducted by the communities in order, for example, to maintain the secrecy of specific knowledge. If such practices exist, |

|demonstrate that the inscription of the element and implementation of the safeguarding measures would fully respect such customary practices |

|governing access to specific aspects of such heritage (cf. Article 13 of the Convention). Describe any specific measures that might need to be |

|taken to ensure such respect. |

|If no such practices exist, please provide a clear statement that there are no customary practices governing access to the element in at least |

|50 words. |

|Not fewer than 50 or more than 250 words |

|There is no traditional practice that limits access to information related to the rules, social practices, disciplines of archery, shooting |

|techniques and the production of equipment shaped around traditional archery sports in Turkey. Anyone can play a role in the transmission of |

|the element, regardless of ethnicity, religion, sect or gender. The intensive promotion of the element through new media, as well as through |

|formal and informal education, is one of the most explicit indicators of this fact. |

|4.d. Community organization(s) or representative(s) concerned |

|Provide detailed contact information for each community organization or representative, or other non-governmental organization, concerned with |

|the element such as associations, organizations, clubs, guilds, steering committees, etc.: |

|5. Inclusion of the element in an inventory |

|For Criterion R.5, States shall demonstrate that the element is identified and included in an inventory of the intangible cultural heritage |

|present in the territory(ies) of the submitting State(s) Party(ies) in conformity with Articles 11.b and 12 of the Convention. |

|The inclusion of the nominated element in an inventory should not in any way imply or require that the inventory(ies) should have been |

|completed prior to the nomination. Rather, the submitting State(s) Party(ies) may be in the process of completing or updating one or more |

|inventories, but have already duly included the nominated element in an inventory-in-progress. |

|Provide the following information: |

|Name of the inventory(ies) in which the element is included: |

|Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) National Inventory of Turkey |

| |

|(ii) Name of the office(s), agency(ies), organization(s) or body(ies) responsible for maintaining and updating that (those) inventory(ies), |

|both in the original language and in translation when the original language is not English or French: |

|Kültür ve Turizm Bakanlığı / Araştırma ve Eğitim Genel Müdürlüğü - Ministry of Culture and Tourism / General Directorate of Research and |

|Training |

|Somut Olmayan Kültürel Miras Uzmanlar Komisyonu - Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) Commission of Experts |

|Somut Olmayan Kültürel Miras İl Tespit Kurulları - Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) Boards in Provinces |

| |

|(iii) Explain how the inventory(ies) is(are) regularly updated, including information on the periodicity and modality of updating. The updating|

|process is understood not only as adding new elements but also as revising existing information on the evolving nature of the elements already |

|included therein (Article 12.1 of the Convention) (max. 100 words). |

|ICH Boards, which exist in all the provinces (81 Provinces in Turkey), meet twice a year to suggest new elements for register on the National |

|Inventory and update elements which have been already registered. Decisions of the meetings are evaluated by the ICH Commission of Experts as |

|advisory body. Draft decisions for registering new elements on the National Inventory and updating them are proposed to MoCT/General |

|Directorate of Research and Training which is designated as an executive body of ICH Convention. With the final approval by the MoCT, the |

|National Inventory is updated and shared with public. |

| |

|(iv) Reference number(s) and name(s) of the element in the relevant inventory(ies): |

|Reference Number: 01.0091 Geleneksel Türk Okçuluğu (Traditional Turkish Archery) |

| |

|(v) Date of inclusion of the element in the inventory(ies) (this date should precede the submission of this nomination): |

|06.08.2014 |

| |

|(vi) Explain how the element was identified and defined, including how information was collected and processed ‘with the participation of |

|communities, groups and relevant non-governmental organizations’ (Article 11.b) for the purpose of inventorying, including reference to the |

|role of the gender of the participants. Additional information may be provided to demonstrate the participation of research institutes and |

|centres of expertise (max. 200 words). |

|The National Inventory making process is based on broad and active participation of concerned community, groups, NGOs, institutions and |

|individuals. NGOs of Traditional Turkish Archery from provinces of Sivas and Tokat applied to ICH Boards in their provinces for the |

|registration of the element on National Inventory. Provincial ICH Boards held several meetings both in Sivas and Tokat in order to identify |

|safeguarding measures and prepare required application form for registration of the element to National Inventory. The required form prepared |

|and sent to the MoCT for registration. ICH Commission of Experts evaluated the proposal for registration of “Geleneksel Türk Okçuluğu” and |

|advised to the MoCT for registration in the ICH National Inventory of Turkey. The element was registered on National Inventory in 2014 and |

|updated in 2016. |

|In 2018, geographical distribution of the element stated in the national inventory form was updated by the MoCT with the application of NGOs |

|from provinces of Adana, Amasya, Antalya, Ankara, Balıkesir, Bursa, Çanakkale, İstanbul, İzmir, Karabük, Konya, Kütahya, Malatya, Osmaniye to |

|their ICH Boards and with the evaluation and advice of ICH Commission of Experts. |

| |

|(vii) Documentary evidence shall be provided in an annex demonstrating that the nominated element is included in one or more inventories of the|

|intangible cultural heritage present in the territory(ies) of the submitting State(s) Party(ies), as defined in Articles 11.b and 12 of the |

|Convention. Such evidence shall at least include the name of the element, its description, the name(s) of the communities, groups or, if |

|applicable, individuals concerned, their geographic location and the range of the element. |

|If the inventory is available online, provide hyperlinks (URLs) to pages dedicated to the nominated element (max. four hyperlinks in total, to |

|be indicated in the box below). Attach to the nomination print-outs (no more than ten standard A4 sheets) of relevant sections of the content |

|of these links. The information should be translated if the language used is not English or French. |

|If the inventory is not available online, attach exact copies of texts (no more than ten standard A4 sheets) concerning the element included in|

|the inventory. These texts should be translated if the language used is not English or French. |

|Indicate the materials provided and – if applicable – the relevant hyperlinks: |

| |

| |

|Note: Hard copies of the inventory documents (Turkish and English Translation) also attached on the nomination file. |

| |

|6. Documentation |

|6.a. Appended documentation (mandatory) |

|The documentation listed below is mandatory and will be used in the process of evaluating and examining the nomination. The photographs and the|

|video will also be helpful for activities geared at ensuring the visibility of the element if it is inscribed. Tick the following boxes to |

|specified below cannot be accepted and will not be returned. |
