The Assembly of Turkish American Associations (ATAA) will hold its 40th Year Anniversary Conference on October 5, 2019 at the Westin Crystal City Hotel in Arlington, VA.<\/p>\n

In celebration of the 100th anniversary of Atat\u00fcrk’s historic landing in Samsun, the 40th Year Anniversary Conference will bring together ATAA members, Turkish Americans, community leaders, and scholars from across the nation and Turkey to highlight the importance of the May 19, 1919, which marked the beginning of the Turkish Independence War, and to plan ATAA’s future course for the next forty years to continue to serve the interests of Turkish Americans.<\/p>\n

The Conference will conclude with the 40th Year Anniversary Gala dinner and awards ceremony.<\/p>\n

Since its founding in 1979, the ATAA has made remarkable strides in representing the interest of Turkish Americans, Turkish culture and heritage in USA. Past 40 years, ATAA fought effectively against the efforts of hostile ethnic groups to distort our history and defame Turks and Turkey. ATAA has successfully empowered Turkish-American Community and member Turkish American associations through civic engagement and has supported strong U.S. – Turkey relations through education and advocacy. As the largest independent umbrella organization representing Turkish Americans and over 50 local member associations, the ATAA shall continue to further its mission based on Atat\u00fcrk’s principles of secular democracy, rule of law and human rights.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
