- Congressional Caucus on Turkey and Turkish Americans
-
The "Congressional Caucus on Turkey and Turkish Americans" (Turkish Caucus) was established by US Congressmen Robert Wexler (D-Florida), Ed Whitfield (R-Kentucky) and Kay Granger (R-Texas) in March 2001.
On October 29th, 2010, this Caucus reached a historic high of 125 members. The current membership of the Turkish Caucus in the 112th Congress numbers 121 and is projected to surpass 125 as of August 2011.
The Turkish Caucus is a bi-partisan platform for members of the Caucus to focus on US-Turkish relations and issues that concern Turkish Americans. Many of its members have joined this Caucus due to the efforts of their Turkish American constituents and friends of Turkey.
