(Clearwisdom.net) Turkish Falun Gong practitioners received a formal notice on the 10th of April that the Turkish Falun Gong Association has been officially established. The application for the Falun Gong Association was approved on March 17, 2005 in the City of Mersin. This is the second Falun Gong Association to be established in Eastern Europe this year, after the Polish Falun Gong Association was officially formed in February.

The founding of the Falun Gong Association illustrates Turkey's recognition and welcoming of Falun Gong. It is also an important milestone for Turkish practitioners in the Fa-rectification. We will, together with practitioners in every country, accomplish the sacred mission of saving sentient beings. We will help Master rectify the Fa and do well the three things that Master has bestowed upon us, in order to help more kind-hearted Turkish people find out about Falun Gong.

As of March 2005, the main book of Falun Dafa Zhuan Falun has been translated into 25 languages and published throughout the world. The introductory book Falun Gong has been translated into 30 languages and published. Translation into other languages is in the process. Currently, Falun Gong is practiced in more than 60 countries and areas throughout the world. People from more places are starting to practice the cultivation of Falun Dafa.
