Turkey. In any event. is long past it. The country has in recent years accepted more than 500.000 refugees from at least four bordering nations. Kurds. suffering what many people consider to be a current extermination campaign at the hands of Syria. Iran. and Iraq have inundated eastern Turkey. Now it Is their fellow Turks arriving as refugees from Bulgaria. The Turkish refugee tragedy and the ongoing crisis cannot be Ignored and shuttled off to that notorious dustbin of history that has become so convenient recently. Surely. the past suffering of any people at any time cannot be simply filed away and forgotten. But what the Senate Judiciary Committee had done in supporting the strongly worded Armenian resoltulon achieves no useful end.
