November 5 — “Turkish Americans Gaining Power through Grassroots”
Turkey is in the news a lot these days, and some of the news is distressing Americans. Denying past genocide, threatening to invade the one piece of Iraq that isn’t causing the US grief? This is a good time to step back and remind ourselves why Turkey is America’s best friend in the Muslim world, and why the significance of Turkish Americans is increasing so much.
When: Monday November 5, 5:30 -7:00 pm (5:30-6:00 pm networking and socialization, 6:00-7:00 pm presentation/talk )
Where: IUPUI, Lecture Hall (LE 102), 325 University Blvd.,Indianapolis IN 46202
A discussion about Turkish-American relations with Nurten Ural, President of the Assembly of Turkish American Associations; and ATAA executive director Allison Block.
Turkish Consul General of Chicago, Kenan Ipek, cannot make it to this discussion, and will come to Indianapolis the first week of December.
