ANCA Chair calls for Congressional Armenian Caucus Co-Chair Rep. Frank Pallone to lead efforts to expel Rep. Henry Cuellar for accepting bribes from Azerbaijan's authoritarian regime and to investigate Azerbaijan's malign interference in Congress. "The ANCA believes the bribery accusations against Congressman Cuellar are despicable and inconsistent with the transparent and accountable democracy we should enjoy in the United States. [...] We look forward to your principled leadership in condemning the Azerbaijani government’s attempts to undermine the sanctity of American democracy – and in leading the effort to expel Congressman Cuellar for accepting bribes from the regime of Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev." -- ANCA Chair Raffi Hamparian - in a letter to Congressional Armenian Caucus Co-Chair Frank Pallone - 5/8/2024 Read the full letter at https://lnkd.in/eZuxhSqy #ExpelCuellar
