Turkish-American Culture and Civilization Center

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an has attended the opening ceremony of a culture center and mosque in the United States, while he was in the country to attend the Nuclear Security Summit. 

After Turkish Foreign Minister announced that President Barack Obama "accepted in principle" to join President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an in a trip to Maryland to open a mosque, a White House spokesperson has said there were "no presidential visits or travel to announce" at the moment.

The presidents of Turkey and the U.S. will open the Turkish-American Culture and Civilization Center in Maryland, Turkey?s foreign minister said April 19.    

Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavu?o?lu, who was on a three-day visit to Washington, visited the center that also has a medium-sized mosque, and lunched with representatives from the American Muslim community.
