    Turkish groups in France are set to join forces in Paris today to

    For the first meeting of an umbrella committee spearheaded by
    local offices of the Anatolian Culture Centers and Kemalist Thought
    Association, some 300 Turkish associations in France were invited.

    Today's meeting is going to be held to exchange ideas for the goals
    and work of the committee. A public statement after the meeting
    is planned to announce how the committee will campaign against the
    legislative recognition.
