The following is an announcement from Turkish Coalition of America (TCA)

The following recent articles published on Armenian-Ottoman history demonstrate the inappropriateness of legislating history, as H.Res.252 intends to do.

This history has neither been fully researched, nor authoritatively written. H.Res. 252 does injustice to the diversity of scholarship on this issue in favor of endorsing a defect and biased narrative.

Location

Famous Turkish novelist Ms. Elif Safak will be promoting her new novel "Ask" that was recently translated to English under the title of “The Forty Rules of Love" at Elliott Bay bookstore on March 8th. Don't miss the chance to hear about Elif Safak's new book from the author herself and have your copy signed.

Please try to arrive by 6:45PM. The talk will start at 7PM, followed by a Q&A session and Book Signing.
