Pocketed in secret by corrupt politicians, Aliyev’s bribe money became their personal asset. Today - dragged out into the open by the ANCA - we've turned that same money into a political liability. The dirty Azerbaijani petrodollars that once bought their votes are now costing them votes. That’s a service to our community - and to our country.

Pete Sessions doesn't miss a trick. On the Armenian Genocide, Artsakh, or Azerbaijani accountability, Hamparian says he's always second in line on the anti-Armenian side. A solid F from ANCA. πŸ”— podcasts.groong.org/clip/598…

Steve Cohen once physically threw an Armenian American reporter out of his house. One of Congress's most hostile members to Armenians is now retiring amid Tennessee redistricting. ANCA's verdict: F, and good riddance. 🎦 podcasts.groong.org/clip/598…

Joe Wilson calls himself a defender of persecuted Christians. Hamparian says whatever Wilson says on the South Caucasus could come straight from Ilham Aliyev. ANCA gave him an F and awaits his early retirement. ▢️ podcasts.groong.org/clip/598…

Anna Paulina Luna didn't ask to waive Section 907. She authored a bill to erase the entire legacy of U.S. scrutiny of Azerbaijan so arms and aid flow freely to oil-rich Baku. ANCA gave her an F. ▢️ podcasts.groong.org/clip/598…

Randy Fine said Armenians should not be allowed to run for Congress. He also co-sponsored a bill to strip all restrictions on U.S. aid to Azerbaijan. ANCA gave him an F. The hosts call the remark flat-out racist. ▢️ podcasts.groong.org/clip/598…

Abe Hamadeh met Pashinyan, sits on Armed Services, and mediates the TRIPP project. He still got an F from ANCA. Why? He co-sponsored Luna's bill to scrap Section 907 and backs a deal that rewards Azerbaijan. πŸŽ₯ podcasts.groong.org/clip/598…

ANCA gave John Sununu an F. His family holds major investments in Anglo Asian Mining, which has rights to mine in ethnically cleansed Artsakh, profitable only after 150,000+ Armenians were forced out. He won't sell, won't apologize. πŸ”— podcasts.groong.org/clip/598…

Celeste Maloy, Burgess Owens, and Derrick Van Orden all co-sponsored Luna's bill to scrap Section 907. ANCA asked them to withdraw. They refused. Three F grades. Hamparian explains how co-sponsorship became a bright line. πŸŽ₯ podcasts.groong.org/clip/598…

Gyumri has been Armenia's poor child since the 1988 earthquake, with people still in metal shanties. That neglect built a defiant city that won't bow to the center. #Gyumri #ArmenianNews πŸŽ₯ podcasts.groong.org/clip/595…

Is every square inch of Armenia equal? Tigranashen is the artery to Iran. The enclaves sit on the road to Georgia. A land swap that keeps the total area can still gut Armenia's strategy. #Syunik #Armenia πŸ”— podcasts.groong.org/clip/595…

COP17 in Yerevan celebrates indigenous people and their lands. But displaced Artsakh Armenians get no pavilion, and burned forests in Syunik are off limits. #Artsakh #Syunik #COP17 πŸŽ₯ podcasts.groong.org/clip/595…
