On April 5th, 2010, Sabri Atman along with Rev. Fr. Gabriel Adde went to the Syriac Orthodox Archdiocese to visit with the bishop of the east coast of the U.S., Archbishop Mor Cyril Afrem Karim.
The bishop was delighted to have had the chance to meet Sabri Atman and was even more gratified by the fact that the Diyarbakir Tur Abdin Assyrian Association was able to sponsor Atman to give a lecture in the U.S. The bishop feels that this is an extremely important issue for our people and encourages our community to attend and support the hard work and dedication of Atman and Seyfo Center in their endeavors.
The bishop, himself, along with Rev. Fr. Gabriel Adde and two other members of the Assyrian community attended the 2nd Annual Hellenic Genocide Commemoration in which Atman held a lecture for the Greek community in New York City.
Atman will be giving a lecture on Sunday, April 11th at St. Mark’s Syriac Orthodox Cathedral, New Jersey, and will be discussing the atrocities suffered by Assyrians at the hands of Turkey as well as the recent developments of Seyfo Center.
