Baklava Battle Heads to UNESCO
The controversy over the origin of baklava has resurfaced as Turkey and Azerbaijan are moving to submit a joint request to UNESCO to list it as an intangible cultural heritage of humanity. This measure aims to confirm its association with these two countries and to prevent claims from others, such as Greece, especially considering that its history dates primarily back to the Levant and the regions of Anatolia and the Balkans, where confectionery artisans in Damascus and Aleppo significantly contributed to the development of its preparation methods. The request is scheduled to be presented to the UNESCO committee by the end of the year for a final decision regarding its inclusion in the World Heritage List.
