An Urgent Appeal by the U.S. Peace Council
To All of Our Friends in the Peace Movement
Dear Friends and Comrades in Peace,
The latest bomb attack in Istanbul, Turkey, has only added to the misery haunting the country and the region in recent years.
The ostensible culprit is again Daesh. A suicide bomber killed 10 innocent people, this time tourists visiting Istanbul.
Under the auspices of World Peace Council, the Peace Association of Turkey, Greek Committee for International Détente and Peace, and Cyprus Peace Council, held their 6th trilateral meeting on 11-13th December 2015, in Larnaka, Cyprus. The meeting was hosted and organised by Cyprus Peace Council under the slogan “Peoples of Mediterranean Resist to Imperialism and its Wars, for Peace”.
Forward for strengthening the WPC towards our next World Assembly in November 2016 in Brazil!
