“TURKISH LIBRARY AND MUSEUM FOR PEACE AND FRIENDSHIP IN AMERICA (TLM)” First Project Meeting was held ANEMON GALATA HOTEL on March 29, and in Izmir on April 3, 2011
The establishment of a “Turkish Library and Museum for Friendship and Peace” in America with plans to open in 2015, will be discussed at a meeting on 9th April, 2011, Saturday between 11:00 – 13:00 in Ankara, Hilton Hotel, Vista Room, 15th Floor.
The aim of this meeting will be to bring together potential partnerships and introduce the project.
The project was initiated during a Symposium in Adana on January 28 and continue to gather momentum as outlined in its first “Progress Report” which can be viewed in www.turkishlibrary.us or <http://www.isikbinyili.org/docView.php?d=article&id=339>
TLM project has been introduced in several platforms, gathering support across the board from several Museums, Corporations, Turkish Travelers Club, “Changing Leaders Summit” held in Istanbul 14-15/3/2011 (including HE Ahmet Davutoglu) and ATAA and FTAA’s conference “Turkish American Leadership Conference” in Washington DC, 17-19/3/2011.
TLM’s is planned to open its doors on April 23 2015. One of the important aims of TLM is to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Canakkale Battles which is always under played or seldom mentioned in foreign media. To provide resources on the Turkish history, culture and civilizations, to support Turkey, Turkish and Turkic peoples in the USA, to provide a place for academicians, students and alike for research and work on Turkic studies as well as to provide an opportunity, dynamic atmosphere throughout the year for Turkish-Americans and new generations to learn their own heritage and keep them in touch with their own values and strong ties with their homelands.
A “digital library and museum” will also be established in parallel with Turkish Library and Museum’s opening in New York, 2015. With this, not only people who live in New York but people who live in other parts of the USA and the world will be able to benefit. This will be the first Turkish Library and Museum in America.
For the goals laid out above, we cordially invite you to attend the TLM’s first introductory and organizational meeting in Istanbul on March 29, Tuesday. Other meetings are planned for May 21st at Hunterdon County Library in Clinton, NJ. and in New York
