BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 19. The Armenian
foyer within the US is absolutely on the transfer. With the upcoming elections
simply across the nook, the pre-election race has kicked into excessive
gear for the reason that starting of the yr. The Armenian Nationwide
Committee of America (ANCA) is, in fact, entrance and heart,
throwing its weight behind candidates. However they’re utilizing a fairly
easy and favored Armenian technique: blackmail. And proper
now, votes are like a lifeline for congressmen.
So, the group comes out swinging with one more
anti-Azerbaijani assertion, bringing in a bunch of congressmen. One
of the principle Armenian allies within the Home of Representatives, Adam
Schiff, had his say. After the scandal involving the misuse of
public funds, which, shock, went into his personal political marketing campaign
and the pockets of his supporters, he’s naturally attempting to wash
up his picture and snag some votes.
The parents signing off on this, or as they wish to name
themselves, Congressional Armenian Caucus Co-Chairs, embrace two
Californians and two reps from New Jersey and Florida. No must
stress how essential it’s to safe Armenian backing, particularly
in among the most Armenian-populated states.
All of this simply appears downright ridiculous within the face of the
actual scenario between Azerbaijan and Armenia. Whereas Washington
retains saying that there’s been vital progress between the
two events and signing a peace settlement between Baku and Yerevan
doesn’t sound far-fetched anymore, a handful of politicians are
nonetheless banging on about aggression, oppression of Armenians, and
wild plans of Azerbaijan attempting to strike Armenia.
Taking a more in-depth have a look at the pro-Armenian spiel from these
congressmen over the previous three years, one will discover that their
rhetoric has not modified one bit. In the meantime, the truth is much
from what Adam Schiff and his crew try to promote.
This story is as previous as time. Congressmen are prepared to drag out
all of the stops for that coveted seat, and Armenian-People simply
can not come to phrases with their trigger dealing with defeat within the
Caucasus, resorting to their favourite behind-the-scenes
strategies.
