Turkish Amb. in Egypt Attends Panel at Historic Grand Cairo Library

The Turkish Ambassador to Egypt recently attended a panel discussion at the Grand Cairo Library, a cultural landmark now housed in the historic Princess Semiha’s Palace. 

The palace, once home to Princess Semiha, was also the residence of Princess Kazime, the original owner of the Turkish Embassy’s official residence.
