    Europe at its best stands for democracy, human rights, tolerance and prosperity. Europe at its worse can mean division and exclusion. Turkey – and by extension the Turkish community in the UK will benefit from a positive Europe.

    We are delighted to to tell you about an event coming up at the Cemevi on Ridley Rd that will study this topic.

    On May 19th at 7pm, Nick Clegg MP, the leader of the Liberal Democrats, will be hosting an open meeting at the centre, in association with the Liberal Democrat Friends of Turkey and Hackney Liberal Democrats. Also speaking will be Baroness Ludford, our local LibDem MEP and Jonather Fryer, our MEP candidate. The theme of the evening will be “Turkey and Our Future in Europe”.

    We do hope you will be able to join us – you’ll be pleased to know it is free. Although you are welcome to just turn up, you can guarantee your seat by visiting our website at 

    Cemevi is easy to get to; Take the Underground to Highbury & Islington or Stratford, and then get the Overground to Dalston. There are also lots of buses that go to Dalston via Liverpool Street, Old Street and Angel. The event itself starts at 7pm, but we recommend you arrive early to get a good seat.

    This is sure to be an exciting evening for everybody, and is a great opportunity to enjoy a lively debate.

    We look forward to seeing you there!

  • European Identity in a Multicultural Society

    European Identity in a Multicultural Society

    Food, drink, good company, and wise words …

    Dear Friends,

    Liberal Democrat Friends of Turkey is delighted to invite you to a pleasant evening with two excellent speakers; former Liberal Democrat Leader Charles Kennedy and Turkish Barrister Emma Edhem.

    As later this year the European elections we will be contested, we have chosen a European theme for the evening, “European Identity in a Multicultural Society”. People are sceptical of government, but in Scotland the Scottish identity was strong enough for people to vote for their own Parliament. Previously we saw ourselves as European and we voted in favour of joining the EU. But what do we think today? And what about the perceptions of ethnic minorities, many of whom think of themselves as British rather than English. And does that also include being European?

    Charles Kennedy is the former Liberal Democrat leader, president of the European Movement and Member of Parliament.

    Emma Edham is the president of the Turkish British Legal Society and Company Secretary of the Turkish British Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

    We are meeting at Shish (www.shish.com), one of our favourite restaurants conveniently located near Old Street tube in Central London.
