And I shall read the editorial into the RECORD. It is titled. "Turkey Today": One of the most remarkable features of the forced marches of the ethnic Turks out of Bulgaria over the past 5 months has been the lack of international attention. The deportation of more than 315.000 men. women. and children by the Bulgarian regime adds up to one of the largest migrations seen in the postwar years. Yet. some people are advancing a chilling casuistry: that what we are seeing is somehow the understandable result of the historical sins committed by the Turks in the 16th century. Todays Turks in Bulgaria. in other words. deserve what is coming to them 4 centuries later.
Identified stereotypes
Suggesting that modern-day Turks deserve mistreatment due to historical actions of their ancestors.
