How do you mean "secular" ? Turkey is a 99% Moslem country . How can you be 99% Moslem and 100%secular at the same time ? You mean perhaps 99% Moslem and 1% secular ?

> Calling out to all Turks in Greater Washington DC and all surrounding states, and to all Friends of Turkey... it's time to show our support for a forever-secular Turkey.

Are the Kurds and Armenians also invited ?

I'm disappointed . The Turkish embassy and consulates don't distribute them for free ? Can Kurdish flags be brought too ? And can true friends of Turkey bring Qurans to desecrate them during the demonstration to show that this is a 100% (and not 1%) secular demonstration ?
