For fiscal year 1990. this amendment provides $10 million for feeding. clothing. and sheltering the ethnic Turks expelled from Bulgaria. Although this is not enough to care for all the Turks who might flee Bulgaria. I hope this amendment will help to dissuade the Bulgarian Government from continuing its draconian forced assimilation policy before it burdens the Turkish people with any further refugees. As a July 1 editorial in the Washington Post noted. the human tragedy in a remote corner of Europe has been ignored by most of the world. or categorized as "Balkan." a patronizing metaphor for that which is unmodern and unworthy of serious attention. Events in Bulgaria have come to a head at the same time as the tragedy in China. to which the entire world has paid extensive. televised attention.
