Overall objective of this action is to contribute to the efforts and studies for the better comprehension of Turkey in the member states of the European Union as well as better comprehension by the Turkish population of the European Union with its concepts and values; in particular to help boost mutual comprehension by EU member states, Greece and Turkey to improve the cultural dialog thru the use of cartoon art.
Special objective of this action is to foresee a long term constructive process between Greece that is already one of the member states of European Union with Turkey that is a candidate country to be a member of the Union. By creating close cooperation under the title of "Culture and Art", these two countries and its population will familiarize each other much better in the long term period; thru the target group whom are the cartoonists of both countries and with the use of several events included in our action, wider portions of populations will be approached.
Turkish-Greek meeting of cartoonists and editors about the festival, the head of Cartoon Nezih Danyal Foundation made ​​the following statement:
Turkey and Greece have many common features and characteristics gained thru the history. First of these common facts is their being the parts of the same upper structure, being in the land of same big empire. These two neighboring people, thru the long history of their own, had shared many common and main components which do form the identity of a nation. As the result of being in the same geographical location and having the same ecological characters, both have numerous folkloric features. Both nations do prepare many similar cooking and eat them but name the dishes differently. They drink exactly the same drinks but produce them under different names. Turks and Greeks do listen and enjoy many similar folkloric tunes but sing them in different verses and languages. The folkloric cultures which are the most determinative features of populations of both people are almost similar in most senses. The songs that you may hear on the western shores of Turkey are sung at the Aegean cost of Greece while the same folk dances are performed as well. When you entertain and enjoy yourself in an Athens tavern having a good time, you can make sure that there are similar places in Izmir or Istanbul where people listen to almost the same type of music and dance with the similar rhythms. If any Turk or any Greek living in far and remote places or countries away from home come across a market or a grocery store run by one of the other nation, he or she will sure find many special foods to buy that will be so familiar and relished.

Taking into account these features, the Turkish and Greek cartoonists will meet in Athens on September 13th until 18th of September, the workshop will be held ‘ Turkish Greek Neighborhood with cartoons’ on the draw for the cartoon. "5 to 9 July in Ankara between Turkish and Greek cartoonists come together and drew a cartoon together again ".

POLITICAL CARTOONIST ALI FARZAT, IS ATTACKED IN SYRIA

(Associated Press-Beirut)
Masked gunmen dragged Syria’s best-known political cartoonist
from his car before dawn 25 August 2011 Thursday,
beat him severely and broke both his hands as a warning to stop drawing just days after he compared
Syria’s president to Moammar Gadhafi, a relative and activists said.
Hospitalized with serious injuries, 60-year-old Ali Ferzat has become the most famous victim
of the repression of Syria’s five-month uprising.
The attack on him was a stark reminder that no Syrian is immune to the crackdown.
"This is just a warning," the gunmen told Ferzat, according
to a relative who asked that her name not be used for fear of reprisals.
"We will break your hands so that you’ll stop drawing."
The men then singed the artist’s beard, put a bag over his head and dumped him on the side of the road.
The widely popular cartoonist, who works late into the night, left his studio at 4 a.m. Thursday,
the relative and several activists familiar with the attack told the Associated Press.
A jeep with tinted windows soon started trailing him and cut him off on a Damascus street.
Four masked gunmen dragged him out of his car, bundled him into the jeep and drove him to
the airport road just outside Damascus, beating him and making threats all the while.
After news of the attack broke, online social networking sites exploded with angry postings.
Assad’s Syria is the burial ground of talent, read a posting on Twitter.
Ali Ferzat, your innovation will stand in the face of their cowardice and hate, wrote Suheir Atassi,
a prominent Syrian pro-democracy activist.
Pictures published on online forums Thursday showed the artist in a hospital bed with heavily
bandaged hands and a bandage above his right eye.
Omar Idilbi, a spokesman for the Local Coordination Committees, an activist group
hat helps organize and track the uprising, blamed security forces for the attack,
although Rami Abdul-Rahman, head of the London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights,
said the identity of the attackers could not be confirmed.
Ferzat has said he had great hopes for Assad when he became president in 2000 after inheriting power
from his late father. But in recent years Ferzat has become a vehement critic
of the regime, particularly as the military launches a brutal crackdown on the country’s protest movement.
This week, he published a cartoon on his website showing Assad with a packed suitcase,
 hitching a ride with a fleeing Gadhafi. Many of his cartoons directly criticize Assad, even
though caricatures of the president are forbidden. Ferzat’s website, where he published his cartoons and
satirical commentary, was inaccessible Thursday after the attack.
"This account has been suspended," reads a message on the website,

http://www.ali-ferzat.com

"There are two things in this life that cannot be crushed " the will of God and the will of the people,
 Ferzat told the AP this month during a telephone interview from Damascus.
Ferzat benefited from Assad’s moves to open up society in Syria during a period that came to be known
as the Damascus Spring. Shortly after Assad inherited power from his father,
he allowed Ferzat to publish the country’s first private newspaper in decades.
The satirical weekly Al-Domari " or The Lamplighter " was an instant hit, with copies of each issue selling out
a few hours after hitting the stands. It was soon shut down, however, as
Assad began cracking down on dissent after the Damascus Spring quickly lost steam.
