Tue, May 6, 2008 - 6:51 AMThanks so much posting this. The music is amazing and the situation is SO sad.
These folks (local to Washington DC) www.wmfolklifecenter.org/annua...ival07 are organizing a local festival and trying to raise money to help. -

What are the chances that this "urban renewal" can be stopped?

Re: Roman Hidirellez Festival
Tue, May 6, 2008 - 12:40 PMi am afraid there is no way to stop it, my friends. of course when there is a lot of money at stake, for some, people do not matter. all we can do now is acknowledge and learn about their culture and preserve it by supporting them however we can, so the culture can live in some way.
i know those folks in DC. its a small world of Turkish Roman enthusiasts! : )
if you'd like to read and maybe help a family who is in this situation, please go to this letter by our friend Ferda:
