HasNa Newsletters If you would like to be informed of future events sponsored by HasNa, please send an email to ciara@hasna.org Past Events Iran, Turkey, and the US: Power Triangle for the 21st Century HasNa hosted the event which featured best-selling author Stephen Kinzer on June 15, 2010. Kinzer argued that the end of the Cold War required a new approach to the Middle East. In its search for partners there the US should be looking for countries that share its long-term strategic goals and that have societies based on democratic values and traditions. The two that best fit this description, he argued, are Iran and Turkey. Kinzer's provoctive arguments sparked a lively Q & A after the presentation. HasNa's Movie Screening: Bliss HasNa screened the Turkish movie, Bliss, on November 2nd, 2009 at 8:00 pm at the Avalon Theater. Thank you to everyone that was able to come and support us. HasNa Fundraiser at Madam's Organ HasNa's fundraiser was held at Madam’s Organ Blues Bar on September 24th, 2009 between 5:00-9:00 p.m. Madam’s Organ gave $1 for each drink attendees ordered and 20% of food sales to HasNa! Thank you for those that were able to join us and for taking part in our raffle. Panel on the Property Issue in Cyprus HasNa hosted a panel named “Pieces of Peace: Property in the Cyprus Conflict” on April 17, 2009 to discuss one of the most crucial issues affecting peace on the island. The panel included Rebecca Bryant, Associate Professor of Anthropology at George Mason University and Mete Hatay, Project Leader at the International Peace Research Institute, Oslo (PRIO) Cyprus Centre. Dr. Ronald Fisher, Professor of International Relations at American University and Director of the Division of International Peace and Conflict Resolution in the School of International Service at American University, moderated the panel. The discussion was preceded by a cocktail reception at which attendees had the opportunity to speak with the panelists. Movie Screening On March 2, HasNa, in collaboration with the American Turkish Association of Washington, DC (ATA-DC) screened a film entitled "Stolen Eyes" at the Avalon Theatre. "Stolen Eyes" deals with a dark chapter in Bulgarian history, when, in 1985, the government of Todor Zhivkov decided to "Bulgarianize" its Turkish minority by outlawing Turkish names, customs, language and dress, and follows an unlikely love story that develops against this traumatic backdrop. Ticket proceeds will go to support HasNa and ATA-DC programs. Discussion:Turkey’s Role in the World and How its Internal Politics Affect that Role HasNa hosted a panel discussion on January 14, 2008 featuring three distinguished experts with three very distinct views of Turkey: Stephen Kinzer, author of Crescent and Star: Turkey Between Two Worlds, Omer Taspinar, director of the Turkey Program at the Brookings Institution, and Yektan Turkyilmaz, a Ph.D candidate in cultural anthropology at Duke University. The panelists spoke about recent changes in Turkey's political order and its commitment to democracy; Turkey's expanding global role and relations with the U.S.; and the changing popular and political perceptions of ethnic differences in Turkey. The event commanded a diverse audience of over 150 people and provided useful and interesting information for those present. Discussion on Women in Migration from Rural Turkey On Wednesday, April 19th, 2007 HasNa, in cooperation with the Institute for the Study of International Migration at Georgetown University, hosted a discussion with presentations from two Turkish researchers, Dr. Sebnem Koser Akcapar and Dr. Bulent Gulcubuk. This event explored the issue of integration and focused on women from rural Turkey. Click here to see event flier. Turkish Movie Event: "Hejar" The movie "Hejar", which was screened on February 18, 2007, is a compelling tale of a retired Turkish judge and Hejar, a small, lost Kurdish girl, gently illustrates the difference between these characters’ two worlds. Despite the cultural and language barriers this unlikely pair finds comfort and understanding in each other. All proceeds from this event will be used to develop HasNa's programs in Turkey and Cyprus. Turkish Movie Event: "Boats Out of Watermelon Rinds" On October 18, 2005 HasNa screened a Turkish movie called "Boats Out of Watermelon Rinds." This was an award-winning movie about the story of two boys who share a great love for the cinema. The movie event was a great success, with over 300 people attending. All proceeds from this event will be used to develop HasNa's programs in Turkey and Cyprus. |
