<DIV><FONT color=#000080>"I plead for keep the flag very <BR>high for THE
ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL OSONOS, and of course to enable as much
as <BR>possible other OSONOSīs local and around the
globe.<BR> <BR>Warmly,<BR>Gabriela"</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080>I can not keep the flag that high for now, but i
agree that more exchanges among cultures</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080>are needed, diversity is more joyful and more enriching
and OST is the best tool for that. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080>This is why i believe IAO Istanbul can be a step
for that</FONT>.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Here is a what turkish philosopher (Hilmi Ziya Ulken )says in
1940</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Today, humanity doesn't have to make a choice, it has to make a
synthesis.<BR><BR>Western civilization, will deny itself as a result of its
overdevelopment in<BR>technology and will power (self control) and Eastern
Civilizations will be<BR>ruined as a result of lack of self control (
discipline) and humanity will<BR>end.<BR><BR>Or, these two poles of humanity,
movements of tension and expansion; one<BR>ruled by intelligence and self
control, the other governed by sympathy<BR>will realize that they are
incomplete and will come together to work to<BR>create the whole human being.
And the future will be more Human as 2<BR>civilizations will complete each
other by educating , producing whole human<BR>beings.<BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080>I guess istanbul is a city where these 2 civilizations
get together and the life</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080>here is created in intersection, by interraction
of o them for centuries.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080>That's why i would like very much that IAO
istanbul can be</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080>an international OST event.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080>That's why i kindly ask you to support us with your
suggestions, ideas, participation.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080>Let's open 4 or 5 spaces here all together,
take your friends, your family, your clients</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080>whoever you want with you.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080></FONT> </DIV>
