Co-chairman of Turkish Caucus in the U.S. House of Representatives, Congressmen representing Kentucky, Ed Whitfield stated that American politicians take opinion of their voters into consideration while making decisions and underscored that lobbying efforts of Turkish people were not adequate until now.
Whitfield said, "Turkish people in United States were not successful in organizing theirselves. From now on, it will change. Recently, they are coming at the door of politicians and letting them know about their existence. Only a few politician in United States are concerned with foreign policy. Most of them are concerned about their voters and their donors."
Commenting on the Armenian resolution, Whitfield said, "Passage of Armenian resolution would bring bad results. We met students, businessmen and people in Istanbul. Turkish people are very sensible on this issue."
