WASHINGTON D.C. - A Turkish diplomat called on the Turkish people living in USA to enter politics.
Speaking at the annual conference of Assembly of Turkish American Associations (ATAA), Nabi Sensoy, Turkish ambassador in Washington D.C., said that Americans with Turkish origin should not only be voters, but they should also take their place in the U.S. Congress as "elected" politicians.
"If we get together, we can make our voice heard all across USA. We need to enter politics," said Sensoy, expressing the power of "ethnical lobbies" in the country.
He also requested Americans with Turkish origin to meet and be in continuous contact with the congressmen of the regions they are living in.
