Washington D.C. Preview of Troy
Diplomacy and Popcorn

Washington Life magazine convinced Turkish Ambassador Faruk Logoglu and Greek Cultural Counselor Zoe Kosmidou to put ancient differences aside on May 11 to co-host and celebrate the D.C. preview of the new Warner Brothers’ movie, “Troy.” It was apparently a well-anticipated event by both Washingtonians and New Yorkers alike, since one guests mentioned to WL that he had flown in to cover it for the New York Times because the city had no previews scheduled. The most contested point of the evening, for female viewers, anyway, was which male actor was their favorite.

Following the film screening at the Georgetown Loews Cinema, guests nibbled on Turkish and Greek delicacies and sushi at LeftBank. Owner Sahir Erozan was delighted to introduce his new restaurant, housed in the same Adams Morgan location as the former Cities, to the diplomats and a group of visiting Turkish Parliamentarians.
