Files concerning American financier Jeffrey Epstein reveal the circle of individuals connected to his network. Among those documents are the names of three government figures directly linked to the work of the Armenian Cause, ANCA spokesperson Elizabeth Chouldjian told Alpha News.
“The individuals in question are Turkey’s former Foreign Minister and Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu, the current US ambassador to Turkey Tom Barrack, and the director of the American Center for Health and Medical Insurance, Dr. Mehmet Oz. When it was revealed that Ahmet Davutoğlu’s name appeared in Epstein’s files, he admitted that before the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide in 2015, he had approached American billionaire Thomas Pritzker to obstruct the work of the Armenian National Committee and the Armenian-American community in Washington, as well as to prevent the recognition of the Genocide,” Chouldjian said.
According to her, this demonstrates the lengths to which the Turkish government is willing to go in order to deny the Armenian Genocide.
“It is a fact that the former foreign minister was ready to cooperate with the network of a criminal convicted of child sexual exploitation and pedophilia, in order to continue the denial of the Armenian Genocide. This is a fact, not speculation,” Chouldjian concluded.
The US Department of Justice has published a package of documents related to the investigation of financier Jeffrey Epstein’s case. More than 3 million files were released, including images and videos that detail the criminal activities of Epstein and his circle, which involved politicians and celebrities, as well as crimes against children.
