Traditional Oil Wrestling in Turkey is a UNESCCO listed Intangible Cultural Heritage
Wrestling (Turkish: güreş) is considered as an "ancestral sport" in Turkey, represented foremost by the annual Kırkpınar tournament in oil wrestling.
Along with various highly esteemed styles of folk wrestling (known colloquially as çayır güreşi, or "meadow wrestling", because bouts are held on grass fields), olympic wrestling (known colloquially as minder güreşi, or "mat wrestling") is widely practiced, while Greco-Roman wrestling is less popular due to freestyle wrestling's technical affinity with folk wrestling.[1][2][3]
Turkey currently has only one professional wrestling promotion, Turkish Power Wrestling founded in 2010.
