Zaman Weekly, a publication which was recently launched in the US by the same media group as Today’s Zaman, was presented with an award at the 4th Traditional Friendship Dinner hosted by the Turkish Cultural Center (TCC) and the Assembly of Turkish-American Associations in New York on Thursday.

Zaman Editor-in-Chief Ekrem Dumanlı accepted the award, which was presented by the guest of honor, Turkish Parliament Speaker Mehmet Ali Şahin, in recognition of the new English-language publication launched with the objective of improving Turkish-American relations.

Some of New York’s most influential politicians, including Democratic Senators Robert Casey and Kirsten Gillibrand also attended the event at Cipriani, one of New York’s most elegant restaurants.
