On May 1, the Turkish Coalition of America (TCA) hosted a dinner in honor Congressman Pete Sessions who served for 11 terms. TASC Co-Chair Gunay Evinch and Secretary General Oya Bain attended. TCA Chairman Dr. Yalcin Ayasli and Chairwoman Dr. Serpil Ayasli recognized Congressman Sessions for being a respected voice and bridge of friendship between Capitol Hill and Turkey. TASC Co-Chair Evinch thanked Congressman Sessions for fighting smartly for U.S.-Turkish relations, including among many initiatives, writing to former California Governor Jerry Brown, to ensure that the assassin of Turkish Consul General Kemal Arikan was not granted parole.
TASC Co-Chair expressed TASC’s complete support to the Ayasli family, and dedication to working closely with TCA. Sessions said all thanks go to Yalcin and Serpil Ayasli for having the vision to create and dedicated the resources to operate the Turkish Coalition of America for effective advocacy, Turkish PACs for supporting campaigns, and Turkish American Legal Defense Fund for defending the rights of Turkish Americans.
