The Global Peace and Justice Coalition (Küresel BAK) is showing its opposition to NATO with a fair at the Kadıköy Pier Square on 13 and 14 March. The slogan of the fair, which is in its third year, is “60 years is enough, let NATO disband.”

The coalition is calling on all pacificists to come to the fair on the Asian side of Istanbul.

“NATO has been trying to show its strength with the occupation of Afghanistan for years. Despite the excessive violence and the blood spilt there, NATO and the USA are being beaten in Afghanistan. As war and occupying forces are not achieving their goals, pacifists all over the world are raising their voices in protest.”

The two-day programme is as follows:

Friday, 13 March

13:00 Opening (participation of first signatories of the coalition, intellectuals, artists and journalists) 14:30 Anti-War Forum
16:30 The Role of the Media in War
18:00 Concert: Grup MARSİS
