On Sunday September 1st Istanbul will celebrate World Peace Day with a demonstration throughout the different neighbourhoods of Istanbul. The rally, which is named ‘From Gezi to Lice’, will involve people meeting to form human chains from Üsküdar to Kartal on the Anatolian side and from Sariyer to Bakirköy on the European side of Istanbul.
Come join us down by the water and support a noble cause.
‘Peace at home, peace in the world’ – Mustafa Kemal Atatürk
