mr. erdogan that is distancing all of kind of the culture and history of what we have seen since mustafa movement 100 years ago when turkey decidedly cast its lot as a european modern western country. now erdogan, we don't know what his aspirations are, but he is harming the turkish people and it's very, very sad. we all watch it. we all have friends. turkey, you know, as a soldier i served with nato allies. even sponsored turkish officers. it's just a very sad page we see going on right now. >> harris: congressman, can you compare this to what we know to be true how iran treats its people? there seem to be some similarities here particularly when you talk about taking americans and then expecting, as he put it, a new page to begin in our relationship. >> well, and they are trying to accuse a humanitarian, pastor brun son, and when we head h. investigated and looked into this matter, he was not proselytizing in his faith. he was following turkish rules. they were doing great humanitarian work there. we had asked that he be moved to not where he was in prison. is he under house arrest now
