[fvc-wat-announce] Discussion Night: Turkish Elections (7pm Wed 27 Mar 2019 at Bread & Roses)

[Bob Jonkman]

Welcome to Spring, Fair Voters! This past week Fair Vote Waterloo had an 
information table at the Cross Cultures 2019 U N International Day for 
the Elimination of Racial Discrimination [1].  I attended the 
presentation on "What is happening now in Turkey: Where is the country 
heading to just before the Municipal elections on March 31" with Wilfrid 
Laurier professors Selda Sezen and Engin Sezen.

As often happens with these interactive discussions, the topic wandered 
to the history of the greater Anatolian region, the Turkic language, and 
the state of journalism in Turkey. We could have carried on the 
discussion for another couple of hours.

So I invited Selda and Engin to our Discussion Night, where we can carry 
on the discussion on the upcoming election in Turkey, and find out about 
their electoral system.

have a Digital Committee, in case you wanted to volunteer!



As always, if you're driving please park in the north lot, and place a
