On February 25, 2023, the initiative to widely celebrate the "Júweri gúrtik" Day in the Republic of Karakalpakstan was launched by the Khojaly District Administration together with the Ministry of Tourism and Cultural Heritage, the Association of Chefs of the Republic of Karakalpakstan, and a team of the Specialized School of Culture No. 1 of Nukus. The largest portion of Júweri gúrtik was prepared at the presidential school in Nukus. A total of 20 turkeys, 35 kg of sorghum flour and 15 kg of wheat flour were used in the preparation of the dish. The prepared dish was served on a "plate" measuring 3.5 x 2.5 meters in diameter.[7] "Júweri gúrtik" Day was also celebrated together by Karakalpaks residing in Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, South Korea, and other countries.
