AVİM's Note: U.S. Senator Bob Menendez, who is a chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, is known for his close relations with anti-Turkish lobby groups, especially with those funded by Armenian Diaspora organizations. His irrational support for anti-Turkish policies has in fact been detrimental for American interests. We hope that this investigation concerning Menendez will reveal his suspiciously close involment with Armenian and Greek (both from Greece and South Cyprus) lobby groups.

Menendez stepped aside as chairman of the powerful Foreign Relations Committee, but has rejected demands that he quit the Senate.

“I am not going anywhere,” Menendez said. He called the charges false and said he was the victim of “an active smear campaign of anonymous sources and innuendos.”
