ISTANBUL (AA) - Chairmen of the banned Turkish associations in Greece will get together tomorrow at a panel discussion in Istanbul's Topkapi Eresin Hotel. The associations were shut down due to the presence of the word ''Turkish'' in their names.
According to a press release from the Western Thrace Turks Solidarity Association, the panel discussion has been organized to take place on January 29, a day celebrated as the day of 'National Resistance.'
The participants at the panel discussion include Iskece (Xanthi) Turkish Union Chairman Cetin Mandaci, Gumulcine (Komotini) Turkish Youth Union Chairman Adnan Selim, Western Thrace Turkish Teachers Union Chairman Sadik Salihbey and Western Thrace Turkish Minority Consultation Council Co-Chairman Ismail Rodoplu.
