The "Syria Promotional Day" as at the same time celebrated as the "Enlightenment Day".

The International Relations Office, International Student Office and International Student Society organized jointly a series of events also supported by the Turkish Language Education Application and Research Center (OMU-TURKISH). The events were held at the Atatürk Congress and Culture Center (AKM).

The promotional day and celebration were attended by academicians, administrative staff and a great number of Turkish and international students.

The events were given a start with the poem recitation of Syrian students to celebrate the Enlightenment Day. OMU International students joined in the recitation. Afterward, Syrian students performed a play titled "We Want Our Future", which was much enjoyed by the audience.

The Arabic song sung by Syrian students accompanied by a guitar enlivened the program and received much applause from the audience.
