TCA has joined ATAA and other Turkish American groups to sponsor an ongoing lecture series by Prof. Turkkaya Ataov. The series, “What Really Happened on April 24, 1915,” will bring Prof. Ataov to cities across the US and Canada to give insight into the events of 1915 that continue to impact Turkey’s relations with its neighbors and the US.
Turkkaya Ataov is Professor Emeritus in International Relations at Ankara University, Turkey. He completed his graduate work in the US, where he received two graduate degrees at New York University and Syracuse University and his Ph.D. at Syracuse University.
Prof. Ataov is the author of close to 140 books. He has published 80 books or booklets on the Armenian issue. He has testified at the trials of Armenian terrorists, at the UN Geneva meetings of the Human Rights Commission on the Genocide Convention, and participated in several meetings of the European Parliament that dealt with the Armenian issue.
He will be in Ann Arbor, Michigan, on April 8, 2010, at the University of Michigan. The lecture will begin at 2pm and end at 4pm at the Michigan League, Room 4 at the University. These speeches have been organized by ATAA Turkish American Broad Advocacy Network (TABAN) National Chair and University of Michigan Turkish Student Association.
