In 2008, our compatriot living in Ohio David Krikorian has submitted
himsekf for election in the U.S. House of Representatives. He threw
his glove against the congressman Jeanne Schmidt whose activity in the
House of Representatives was not satisfied for the state’s residents.
It should be noted that there are almost no Armenians in State Ohio, so
he was nominated as one who was relying on American residents voting.
But the Turkish lobby has struggled against him. When David Grigorian,
accused his opponent of taking bloody money from the Turkey for
the genocide denial, Jeanne Schmidt requested a court against our
compatriot, accusing him of defamation.
As an answer to this court process David Grigoryan appealed to the
Ethic Committee of the House of Representatives demanding from the
House Ethics to review who pays for Schmidt lawyers and who are
involved in the court against him.
And here is the result of investigations conducted by the Commission
on Ethics: The Turkish Coalition of America had paid only for this
case half a million dollars.
