I urge the Senate to once again stand firmly on the side of respect for human rights and vote for this resolution when the time comes. In summary. Mr. President. I have been and will continue to be a strong supporter of the Republic of Turkey. Last year in the Appropriations Committee. I offered two amendments to attempt to add additional funds to the Republic of Turkey for their humanitarian actions toward refugees. One amendment that was adopted with the assistance of the President pro tempore was for $10 million to deal with the BLlgarian Turks that were being expelled from Bulgaria. This is a tremendous human rights violation in itself.
