Says U.S. should accept Syrian refugees
Borough President Eric L. Adams visited Turkey on a six-day mission aimed at spreading a message of trans-Atlantic solidarity.
Adams met with the mayors of the Beşiktaş and Üsküdar districts of Istanbul, which have signed sister city agreements with Brooklyn. The discussions included efforts on educational collaboration and the fight against radicalization, and the idea of growing relationships between young people of different cultures through digital platforms.
