The Edmond Sun

The Meskhetian Turks in the Oklahoma City area recently came together to celebrate the arrival of several members of their community from the Russian republic who have been granted refugee status by the United States government. In keeping with their Turkish heritage, a large cloth covered with a variety of foods was placed on the floor and people sat around it and ate and drank fruit juices and tea. The food consisted of Turkish pastries and bread and many Russian dishes as well. A mullah read a passage from the Koran as people began to eat."
