- Narrative
- Güreş, or oiled wrestling, is a unique feature of traditional Turksih culture, and is associated with smaller cities and villages. Edirne, for instance, holds the largest güreş tournament in Turkey. As we can see from the posters, which are printed in Turkish, English, French, German, Bulgarian, and Greek, the Edirne municipality is trying to attract international as well as regional tourism to the event.
