All those present noted that over the 15 years of its work, the center has significantly expanded the range of cultural and educational programs for the Russian-speaking diaspora and the Turkish public.

The conference called “Turkey is Our Second Home” was devoted to the adaptation of the Russian-speaking population in Turkey. Particular attention was paid to the topic of interethnic marriages.
