US Congress members: Turkey, US partnership gets stronger

Today's Zaman

Representatives of the US Congress have said in Washington, D.C., that the partnership between Turkey and the United States is getting stronger as the Turkish democracy is a “shining model of strength” earned by basic freedoms and democracy at a time of Arab awakening.

Speaking at the "2011 Annual Congress, New Challenges-New Opportunities" co-hosted by the Turkic American Alliance (TAA) and the Confederation of Businessmen and Industrialists of Turkey (TUSKON), Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand said on Wednesday that Turkey's economy and regional leadership brought benefits not only to the Turkish people but also to the countries going through the Arab Spring and Turkey's ally, the United States.
