Nomadic Culture on Display

Head of Ardebil’s Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Department said nomadic tribes of Iran, especially Moghan, have always been remarkable.
According to CHN, Masoud Alavian-Sadr was addressing the second Festival of Nomadic Tribes’ Migration in Jafarabad, Moghan.
He went on to add, “Nomadic tribes tolerate the problems of migrating to prove that life is dynamic and stagnation runs people down. They also want to prove that their lives are intertwined with nature.“
He recalled that the festival aims at safeguarding the traditions of nomadic tribes and their role in promoting tourism.
“We have tried to encourage the people, especially youth, to establish links with this stratum of Ardebil society and understand their traditions and rituals,“ he commented.
Alavian-Sadr said that paying attention to agricultural tourism is also one of the objectives of the festival.
“The beautiful plain of Moghan, diligent nomadic tribes and the hospitable people of the region are among important tourism attractions. We hope that tourists become familiar with these features and we need the assistance of mass media to fully meet our target,“ he said.
The official concluded by saying that promoting handicrafts of nomadic tribes is another reason for holding the festival.
