Before the 43rd Turkish Day Parade to be held in New York on Saturday, May 16, the Turkish flag was raised at half-mast under the auspices of the Presidency's Directorate of Communications. As part of the event, Turkish marches will be performed by the Mehter Band affiliated with the Ministry of National Defense, and the Anatolian Fire Dance Group will bring the richness of Turkish culture to the stage. This traditional parade is seen as an important platform for strengthening the cultural ties of the Turkish community in New York and promoting Turkey's cultural heritage. The parade and events will showcase the presence and cultural richness of the Turkish diaspora in America.
