Chairman. as I have listened to various speakers talk about pockets of communities of Greeks. pockets of communities of Americans. pockets of communities of Armenians. pockets of communities of other ethnic groups. I have not heard anyone say they are here to speak for the pocket of Turks in America. And. strangely. they have not. because for historical reasons. the Turks did not immigrate to America. so they have no voice to stand before the Congress of the United States to say anything kind or good about the Turks of the world. So I come before you. my colleagues. as a voice for the Turks. because I lived in that country. Not because I asked to go there. but because your Government. my Government. sent me there as a youngster. as a young soldier.
