HALC Fights U.S. Ship Gift to Turkey

American-Leadership-CouncilThe Hellenic American Leadership Council (HALC) is protesting U.S. government plans to give Navy vessels to Turkey, including two Oliver Hazard Perry class guided missile frigates, the USS Halyburton and the USS Thach.

“This bill is another example of the United States giving preferential treatment to Turkey on the issue of defense deals, despite Turkey’s increased belligerence toward Cyprus and Israel and its continued territorial disputes with Greece,” the HALC said on its website.

“Until Turkey commits to a policy of peace in the region and ceases its provocative behavior, which is leading to instability in the Eastern Mediterranean, the U.S. should stop giving preferential treatment to Turkey. H.R. 6649 should not pass,” the HALC said. Greek-American lobbies in the U.S. are constantly outgunned by their Turkish peers and have complained the government gives preferential treatment to Turkey.
