INVITATION TO 9th EUTCC CONFERENCE IN BRUSSELS / 5 – 6th DECEMBER 2012
INVITATION TO 9th EUTCC CONFERENCE IN BRUSSELS / 5 – 6th DECEMBER 2012
Dear Sir/Madam,
For eight years the EU Turkey Civic Commission (EUTCC) has organised an annual international conference in the European Parliament, Brussels. These conferences have brought together Turks, Kurds and Europeans; politicians, MEP’s representing most of the groups in the EU Parliament, NGO’s, academics, writers, legal experts and journalists. In each conference a final resolution has been passed. The first conference led to the establishment of the EUTCC whose objectives are to promote human rights for all citizens in Turkey, respect and protection of minorities and a peaceful, democratic and durable solution to the Kurdish question. The EUTCC is an independent non-profit organisation licensed under Belgian law.
The 9th International Conference on EU Turkey and the Kurds – “The Kurdish Question in Turkey – Time to Renew the Dialogue and Resume Direct Negotiations”, will take place in the EU Parliament December 5-6, 2012. We hereby cordially invite you to attend the conference. We would be honored if you accept our invitation.
There is no conference fee but due to limited funding the EUTCC unfortunately cannot pay for either accommodation in Brussels or the cost of your travel. We hope you accept our invitation and look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible. If you accept this invitation, please let us know as soon as possible by replying to guengl-kurds2012@europarl.europa.eu. Please note that in order to enter the European Parliament, details about your full name, your date of birth, address of residence and number of a valid document is required. Please include this information in your response to this invitation.
Respectfully yours
