Several of our members asked us for our recommendations for the November 6 Election. TurkishPAC’s articles of incorporation states that “The Corporation shall not concern itself with the political issues that are inherent to the internal and/or international political operations of the USA or Turkish Governments, otherwise not related to the defense of the Turkish Heritage”. We must therefore base our recommendations only to issues that are related to the defense of the Turkish Heritage.
Based on the above, we recommend that you consider voting for the politicians who are members of the Congressional Turkish Caucus and supported by TurkishPAC. Names and districts of the Turkish Congressional Caucus members are provided below:

TurkishPAC received a letter from the USA Congressional District 7 Representative Honorable John Culberson on February 24, 2011, which states that he fully supports our opposition to the Congressional Armenian Genocide Resolutions and declares that he plans to vote against such resolutions if they come to the house floor. Honorable Culberson wrote that
"[b]etween
1915 and 1923, brutal fighting took place between Armenian and Ottoman
Turks over the future of Anatolia. While Armenian authorities allege
that up to 1.5 million Armenians were killed and another 500,000 were
forcibly removed in ethnic cleansing, this view is not universally
shared by scholars. Nearly a hundred years have passed since these
alleged crimes took place, yet they still create significant
controversy. Since this is a divisive historical question, experts
should debate the merits of the genocide designation, not members of the
United States House of Representatives. Furthermore, since Turkey is a
close friend of the United States and an important ally in the Global
War on Terror, there is no reason to unnecessarily provoke the emotions
of the Turkish Public.

VOTE "NO" ON ARMENIAN RESOLUTION, H.RES.. 252!
ATAA and FTAA have jointly submitted to each Member of the U..S. house of Representatives a letter in opposition to H.Res. 252, an anti-Turkish and anti-Muslim resolution.
We encourage you to be good Americans and true friends of Türkiye, and contact your Member of Congress at: writerep.house.gov
This service is free, easy, and lets your Member know what you think quickly.
As Turkish Americans, please sent the following message to your representatives:
Please do not support a floor vote on H.Res. 252. If it does go to a floor vote, please vote against it. Armenian Resolutions are not a productive approach to resolve this matter, as they legislate a criminal conviction against people of Turkish and Muslim heritage, they legislate history on a controversial issue, and damage US interests in the critical region of Turkey.
