Azerbaijan’s Lobbying Tactics Exposed in Disputed Territory Conflict with Armenia
Azerbaijan's lobbyists blamed Armenia for Russian connections. Congress was unknowingly involved through a scheme involving bribes and foreign influence.
In the midst of escalating tensions between Azerbaijan and Armenia over disputed territory in the summer of 2020, startling revelations have emerged regarding the involvement of a Texas Democrat, Representative Henry Cuellar. Allegations have surfaced accusing Cuellar of accepting bribes and acting as a foreign agent in a complex scheme involving Azerbaijan. This revelation has sent shockwaves through the political landscape, raising concerns about potential foreign influence in the U.S. Congress.
Collusion and Manipulation
The accusations against Cuellar indicate that he was involved in a legislative maneuver to strip funding from Armenia, ostensibly due to its hosting of Russian military bases. Text messages released by federal prosecutors reveal a troubling connection between Cuellar and Azerbaijan's ambassador, Elin Suleymanov. The ambassador expressed enthusiastic support for Cuellar's proposed amendment, emphasizing the importance of diminishing Russian presence in Armenia.
These revelations have sparked widespread concern about the integrity of decision-making within Congress and the potential manipulation of U.S. foreign policy by foreign powers. The allegations suggest an insidious effort to undermine the sovereignty of Armenia and further geopolitical interests.
