The Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) announced last week that on April 14, a US District Court dismissed a $500 million lawsuit filed by Aynur Baghirzade, an Azeri lawyer based in Laguna Beach, CA, against the ANCA and 29 others, reports The California Courier.

Baghirzade’s 198-page lawsuit “leveled unfounded accusations,” the ANCA stated. “The court struck the plaintiff’s [Baghirzade’s] Third Amended Complaint, dismissing this action, denying remaining motions as moot, and declaring the case closed.” Baghirzade, however, later tweeted that she intends to appeal the ruling.

The ANCA noted that for months, Baghirzade had engaged in a “lengthy series of incendiary social media posts,” describing Armenia as “a carcinoma” that “shall be deleted from South Caucasus.” 

She even ridiculed the Armenian Genocide, claiming Armenians shed “crocodile tears about the events back in 1915.”
