Baklava Causes Dispute Among 3 Nations at UNESCO
Turkey and Azerbaijan jointly submitted a request to UNESCO to include baklava on the list of intangible cultural heritage of humanity. The aim is to unify the historical origins of the sweet treat in the face of Greece's claims to its ownership. Through this request, the two countries seek to protect their cultural identity and counter Greece’s attempts to attribute baklava to itself, as it developed in the Middle East, Anatolia, and the Levant. Major cities such as Damascus and Aleppo are believed to have played a key role in the development of its preparation techniques. The request is expected to be approved during the twenty-first session of the UNESCO Committee, scheduled to take place in China.
