“I want to tell you that you must never ever emulate or copy western art or Asian art or any other nation or country’s art because you are so original, you are so unique, and you have your own profound long history and culture so why should you be copying any other art movements?” Said, SedenYavuzalp – Turkish Ambassador to Uganda.
