"Resolution vote sends the wrong message to Turkey
By Rep. Ed. Whitfield (R-KY), Rep. Kay Granger (R-TX) and Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN) - 03/04/10 09:51 AM ET
A Turkish proverb says “A wise man remembers his friends at all times; a fool, only when he has need of them.” This is a telling phrase from a nation with which the United States has a longstanding and strategic partnership. Our friendship with the Republic of Turkey dates back to World War II and since that time Turkish troops have stood shoulder to shoulder with American troops in defense of freedom and justice. Most recently, we have worked together to combat terrorism and bring stability to the Middle East. And we have forged an economic partnership which has benefitted both our nations. So valued is this friendship that President Obama, during his first bilateral overseas trip, described our relationship as a “Model Partnership.”"
