"We are introducing this bipartisan resolution today to make it clear that last week's unprovoked attack on peaceful protesters by Turkish security forces on American soil must not go unanswered and that those responsible must face justice. The attack last week against the protesters fell into a pattern of similar behavior by the Erdogan government and sent a dangerous message that this ideology of suppression has a place among the NATO powers, an alliance built to protect democracy and basic rights against those who would impose the opposite upon the world. We must dispel that notion entirely and make it clear that the United States rejects any and all attempts to deny people the right to raise their voices against those in power through nonviolent means."
“Türkiye önemli bir NATO müttefiki, ancak yöneticileri sivil haklarını kullanan insanlara yönelik acımasız davranışları kesinlikle kınamalı ve özür dilemelidir. Sorumluların hepsini adalete teslim etmeye kararlıyız.”
