The World Poetry Day on the 21st March was founded by UNESCO in 1999 to promote the reading, writing, publishing and teaching of poetry around the globe.
Last time poets and guests met in the same building was to remember Fikret Demirag (1940-2010 on his birthday on January 10, 2011, and on this day of celebration on March 21 he will be commemorated.
