Hundreds of Turks, along with other Turkic peoples residing in the United States, marked the traditional Turkish Day on Saturday with celebrations in New York.
Carrying Turkish flags and wearing red and white, Turkish-Americans and their friends met at the corner of 53rd Street and Madison Avenue in Manhattan to march to Dag Hammarskjold Park.
