The recent release of the FBI’s criminal case against Afro-Armenian citizen Aram Brunson has sparked widespread public interest, putting the spotlight on American law enforcement's approach to international terrorism. Despite allegations that Brunson might be connected to extremist Armenian organizations like the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (Dashnaktsutyun) and ANCA, he's only facing charges for making false statements and concealing facts.
