According to Azerbaijani press reports, Azerbaijani lobbying groups in
the United States have launched a letter writing campaign to members
of Congress, urging them to "be wary" about allocating financial aid
to the Armenian government since it is linked to Armenian fraudsters
in the U.S.
The letters argue that the Armenians arrested for Medicare fraud back
in February are somehow linked to the government back in Yerevan.
"This is the third time in less than a year when Armenian-American
criminal groups have been busted for defrauding the government,
businesses and specifically elderly citizens. In October 2010, FBI,
IRS and local law enforcement agencies arrested 52 ethnic Armenians
across the US in an attempt of stealing $163 million from Medicaid",
the letters read.
The anti-Armenian campaign also refers to a Wikileaks report that
weapons shipped via Armenia wound their way to Iraq and were used to
kill American soldiers.
"We should not allow Armenian criminals to easily come into the US
and cheat us out of our money, whilst enjoying a safe-haven back
in Armenia, under the protection of the president of the country,
who in turn takes our aid dollars and then ships weapons to kill our
soldiers in Iraq".
