The Power Of The Armenian Lobby


Representative Steve Cohen (Democrat-Tennessee) has caused a minor political storm by throwing out an Armenian-American cameraman from his home.

According to "The Scorecard," Cohen is "one of the top congressional targets for the Armenian-American community because he opposed legislation that would have condemned Turkey for committing genocide against Armenians during World War I. Armenian-Americans have given Cohen's opponent, Nikki Tinker, about $30,000 in campaign donations." It's all on tape.
