Ed Whitfield ‘Turkish people in United States were not successful in
organizing theirselves.’
Co-chairman of Turkish Caucus in the US House of Representatives,
Congressmen representing Kentucky, Ed Whitfield stated that American
politicians take opinion of their voters into consideration while
making decisions and underscored that lobbying efforts of Turkish
people were not adequate until now.
Whitfield said, "Turkish people in United States were not successful
in organizing theirselves. From now on, it will change.
Recently, they are coming at the door of politicians and letting them
know about their existence. Only a few politician in United States
are concerned with foreign policy. Most of them are concerned about
their voters and their donors."
Commenting on the Armenian resolution, Whitfield said, "Passage
of Armenian resolution would bring bad results. We met students,
businessmen and people in Istanbul. Turkish people are very sensible
on this issue."
