MINSK (BelTA) – There are plans to open a Turkish culture center in Minsk in March 2018, BelTA learned from Belarusian Culture Minister Yuri Bondar.
In his words, the Turkish culture center will allow Belarusians to better get familiar with the culture and traditions of Turkey.

The possibility of opening a Belarusian culture center in Turkey will be discussed later. It will become a new step in the advancement of cultural ties between Belarus and Turkey, concluded Yuri Bondar.
