Washington,<\/p>\n
The US capital is set to declare Dec. 5 World Turkish Coffee Culture Day following an initiative by a Turkish cultural group.<\/p>\n
Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser thanked the volunteer-led Turkish Coffee Lady Foundation for “sharing the rich tradition” of Turkish coffee “and bridging cultures one coffee at a time” ahead of a virtual celebration the community will hold Saturday.<\/p>\n
“This event will provide a history of Turkish coffee, help build bridges, strengthen friendships and develop an appreciation and understanding of Turkish culture and tradition,” Bowser said in a letter to the foundation. An accompanying mayoral proclamation will formally announce Saturday as World Turkish Coffee Culture Day.<\/p>\n
The non-profit organization’s founder, Gizem Salcigil White, known as the Turkish Coffee Lady, said more cross-cultural efforts are needed to spread awareness about the rich history of Turkish coffee in the US where 400 million cups of coffee are consumed daily.<\/p>\n
“We must highlight our 500-year-old Turkish coffee culture’s significant role and its historical value, as which has played a major role in the spread of coffee culture throughout the whole world, through public communication and culinary diplomacy,” White told news Agency.<\/p>\n
Launched in Washington, D.C. in 2020, the Turkish Coffee Lady Foundation aims to promote Turkish coffee culture and bridge cultures.<\/p>\n
In addition to the virtual community event that will be held on the first commemoration of World Turkish Coffee Culture Day in Washington, the foundation will run a message Saturday that will read: “Celebrating World Turkish Coffee Day and its 500 year old culture” on the Nasdaq ticker.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
