ANCA recruits odious senators against Azerbaijan: Signatures for signatures' sake

Lately, it seems to me, there is nothing more interesting than watching the agonies and convulsions of the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA). The one who keeps trying and trying to influence American politics over and over again, despite the fact that the head of the White House is no longer an activist, as was the case with Joe Biden, but a real politician for whom America is important, first of all.

ANCA and representatives of the Democratic Party of the United States lost their influence with the return of Donald Trump to the White House. As much dirty tricks as were done by Democrats like the scandalous Adam Schiff, Bob Menendez and others, prompted Americans to turn to the Republican Party for help. The Republicans, in turn, believed that the country was in a deplorable state and suggested how to fix everything. And the people were united in their ideas, and they elected Trump for a second term. Biden and his gang fly out, the "swamp cleaning" begins, USAID, which spends billions on idiotic initiatives, is closed, America is put at the top of the list.

At the same time, Azerbaijan is achieving great diplomatic and geopolitical successes, strengthening relations with Washington, which has severely damaged the reputation and authority of ANCA. In general, it turned out that the "allies" in the face of the Armenian lobby and corrupt congressmen and Democratic senators remained out.

Nevertheless, ANCA's absolutely senseless attempts to somehow influence the situation continue, using the same non-functioning levers.

Twenty-seven U.S. Senators, led by Ed Markey (Democrat) and Sheldon Whitehouse (Democrat), have sent a letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio, urging the Trump administration to demand the "immediate and unconditional release of all Armenian prisoners of war and political leaders held by Azerbaijan," the Armenian lobbying organization proudly reports.

The letter calls on the Trump administration to "demand access for international observers to fictitious trials in Baku and impose "global Magnitsky sanctions" against Azerbaijani officials responsible for human rights violations."

Commenting on the publication of this odious letter, supported by ANCA, the head of the committee's Washington office, Aram Hamparyan, noted:

"The fact that twenty-seven Democratic senators, more than half of the Senate, including Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (another Democrat), signed this letter demanding the immediate release of the Armenian hostages held by Azerbaijan, puts the Armenian issue at the top of U.S. foreign policy, significantly increasing its importance for the Republican Party. the Trump-Vance Party and administration."

There's really nothing to be proud of. I'll explain why now.

First of all, what makes you think that the maintenance of some document you paid for by Democrats fighting Republican Trump significantly increases the importance of this piece of paper? Believe me, according to Trump, this letter just needs to be flushed down the toilet. Especially against the backdrop of the battles over Epstein's files, he doesn't care what importance the Democrats attach to this or that issue. He cares about America, which is what he is successfully doing.

Secondly, Chuck Schumer, Ed Markey, Sheldon Whitehouse are far from those whose "authority" can be relied on to resolve issues.

Schumer, for example, is a man who has been posing as a "guardian of democracy" for so many years that he has long lost touch with reality. He was one of the key figures who undermined the credibility of the Senate due to his intrigues, double standards and open political trade. Inside the United States, he is perceived as a man who is ready to sign anything rather than lose his own influence. Even in the Democratic Party, he has long been considered toxic, but they continue to tolerate him because there is no one to replace him.

Stamps are an even more revealing figure. A politician who has built a career on high-profile statements for decades, but in fact is known only for the fact that he always fits into any "fashionable" topics, hoping to catch hype. His reputation is a mixture of populism, illiterate initiatives and empty promises. Scandals around him have surfaced more than once, ranging from stories about financing to outright demagoguery in energy and geopolitics. He is simply not perceived as a serious politician. An excellent choice for ANCA. The "perfect" senator who signs any piece of paper.

Whitehouse is a different story. He has long been known in society as a senator who tries to make a "global conspiracy theory" out of every process. He played the role of a fighter against "dark money" to such an extent that he himself came under accusations of conflict of interest and concealment of financial data. Scandals surrounding his family and connections are publicly available. He was accused of using political tools in the interests of organizations associated with his entourage.

And these people should be an argument for Trump on the issue of Azerbaijan? P-f-f-f. ANCA understands perfectly well that serious figures will not sign their papers.

Therefore, there is absolutely no need to be proud. They've set up a circus and they're talking about some kind of breakthrough.

As for the charges against our country, I would like to note that there are no prisoners of war here. They were returned long ago after the 44-day war. The trial is being conducted against persons who committed crimes in the liberated territories, participated in sabotage, terrorist attacks, political sabotage and armed resistance against the sovereignty of Azerbaijan. These figures are lawbreakers who perfectly understood the consequences of their actions and consciously went to what they went to. Therefore, they will receive what they deserve as a result of a fair trial, the process of which can be openly observed. This is an internal matter of Azerbaijan, and no one, with anyone's support, will ever influence our country.

In total, it is absolutely obvious that ANCA now has no influence or leverage left. All the organization can do is brandish letters that have no weight for Washington, much less for Trump. Stop embarrassing yourself and be quiet. Maybe then you won't look so pathetic.
