I rise in strong support of House Concurrent Resolution 154. amended. regarding the brutal treatment of the Turkish minority by the Government of Bulgaria. The persecution of the Turkish minority In Bulgaria continues to be one of the most serious human rights problems in the world today. Ethnic Turks have been the victims of a brutal assimilation campaign. Their religious rights have been severely restricted. their names have been changed. and they have been forcefully relocated. Over the past few years. hundreds. maybe thousands. have been killed. injured or arrested. While many ethnic Turks have been allowed to emigrate recently they have had to leave their important possessions behind. Mr. Speaker.
