Nilay Tahiroglu, a Turkish ballerina and a senior Turkish cultural figure, received international recognition in Moscow, marking two notable achievements for Türkiye's ballet community.
Tahiroglu was awarded a special diploma at the 15th Moscow International Ballet Competition, the Turkish Embassy in Russia said Monday.
Tahiroglu competed in the Senior Girls Solo category at the competition, which is regarded as one of the world's leading ballet contests.
The embassy said the jury did not award first or second prizes in the category this year. Tahiroglu was the only participant in that section to receive a special diploma, making the recognition stand out within the category.
In a separate development, Tan Sagturk, an adviser to Türkiye's Culture and Tourism Ministry, was unanimously elected vice president of the International Ballet Federation.
Sagturk was also named chairperson of the European Competitions during the General Assembly of the International Union of Choreographers, which was held at Moscow's Bolshoi Theatre.
The Turkish Embassy congratulated both Tahiroglu and Sagturk, describing the honors as significant achievements for Türkiye's cultural community.
