Istanbul Marks 233rd American Independence Day
“Tonight is our first Independence Day celebration since the election of Barack Hussein Obama as our first African-American president. Just as [his] election renewed a spirit of hope in America, the visit of President Obama to Turkey during his first 100 days renewed our relationship as allies.” – CG Sharon Wiener
