THE ANNOUNCER (CAZGIR)
The person who introduces the wrestlers to the audience and starts the
wrestling is called as the “Announcer” or “Salavatçı”. The announcer
introduces the names, fames and talents of the wrestlers, matched by the
board of referees, with proper verses and prayers.
The Announcer, assigned by the Kırkpınar Organization Committee, never
tells discreditable and disparaging stories. He cannot advertise the
political parties on the field of contest for brave men. He announces the
political people coming to watch the Greased Wrestling with their titles
without using their political party names. After the matching on the field
of contest for brave men, he announces necessary things to the audience
and the wrestlers according to the instructions of the Tower Chief
Referee. The Announcer wears the folklore clothing determined by the
Federation.
