The Turkish American community are joining in solidarity in front of White House to march for Turkish-Armenian reconciliation in PeaceWalk2015. Members of over 250 Turkish American national and local organizations are walking from the White House to the Turkish Embassy on Friday, calling for reconciliation and unity between Turkish and Armenian nations.
The march is organized to remember all "who perished in the Ottoman Armenian Conflict of 1885-1919, and victims of modern violent extremism", the Turkish American Steering Committee (TASC) said.
"PeaceWalk2015 encourages people of Turkish and Armenian heritage to conduct an honest assessment of the facts and build a narrative that does justice to the tragedies suffered by both peoples", Turkish American National Steering Committee said.
At 8am on April 24, 2015, PeaceWalk2015 participants will meet on Pennsylvania Avenue in front of the White House and walk to the Turkish Ambassador's Residence and finally to the Turkish Embassy at 2525 Massachusetts Avenue. Those who cannot make it to march, will be able to meet the other participants later on in front of the Turkish Embassy.
