Visit to Namangan State University in 2025: Archaeological Cooperation
As part of the academic cooperation protocol between Namangan State University in Uzbekistan and Kyrgyz-Turkish Manas University, graduate and undergraduate students from the History Department visited Namangan State University for the second time, from June 2 to 14, 2025. During the visit, archaeological excavations were conducted in the medieval city of Akhsikent. The students also had the opportunity to explore excavations at the Chust settlement, which dates back to the Bronze Age. In addition, two days were dedicated to visiting the museums at Fergana State University, with which Kyrgyz-Turkish Manas University has also established academic ties. The students returned with a strong sense of confidence in the future of archaeological research in the Fergana and Tenir-Too regions, strengthened by growing cooperation with the universities of Namangan and Fergana.
