At the moment, there is no confirmed information or serious grounds to talk about the specific date or place of Nasreddin's birth, so the question of the reality of his existence remains open.

The International Nasreddin Hodja festival is celebrated between 5 and 10 July every year in Akşehir. In 2020, an applica ...
