He is the main political opponent of president Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who has called the demonstrations "evil.” More than 1,100 people have been arrested since Imamoglu’s incarceration.
Imperium, which is based in Vienna, VA, will educate Congress on matters of importance to Turkey, promote policies that bolster bilateral ties, monitor legislative and administrative developments, identify events and speaking opportunities for Embassy staffers and build alliances with like-minded interest groups.
