"Turkey deserves better treatment Published: November 07. 2007 6:00AM
I recently sent two letters to U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and U.S. Rep. Phil English, of Erie, R-3rd Dist., regarding the Armenian genocide issue.
My first concern was that my son, Matt Fogarty, was in Turkey at the time this issue hit the papers. When he returned, he told me the Turkish people's reactions to our government's actions. In 1997, as a Rotary International exchange student, he spent a year living with a family in Edirne. At that time, when people learned his nationality, they would comment on how much they loved America. This time, 10 years later, their responses are quite different. They said they liked him but didn't like his country much."
