Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard calls for U.S. to work allies in removing Turkey from NATO

In a strongly worded resolution introduced this week condemning Turkey’s attacks on American forces and citing Ankara’s ongoing support for terrorists, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) called for the U.S. to work with allies in removing Turkey from NATO, the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) reported.

Several of the resolutions clauses address Turkey’s hostility and aggression against Armenians:

— Whereas Turkey has escalated its involvement in the conflict between Azerbaijan and Nagorno Karabakh, previously offering political support for Azerbaijan’s position, but now providing direct military support;

— Whereas Turkey maintains a closed border with the Republic of Armenia, a country with friendly relations with the United States, and has repeatedly issued threats against the Republic of Armenia, Nagorno Karabakh, and Armenian communities in other parts of the world, at times thinly veiling its threats with references to the genocide of Armenians in Turkey that took place in the early 20th century;
