On 4th and 5th December 2004, both new and veteran Falun Gong practitioners held two days of events to promote Falun Dafa and raising awareness of the persecution in the marketplace of Ankara in Turkey. After practitioners told the market-place manager that they don’t accept donations and Falun Gong is always taught for free, the manager was touched and said, “Then we won’t charge you anything either.” The practitioners told people about Falun Gong and demonstrated the five sets of exercises. People were pleasantly surprised and stopped to watch.
