The release of millions of US Department of Justice (DOJ) Epstein documents has exposed a direct line between the Jeffrey Epstein scandal and efforts to undermine Armenian Genocide recognition in the US, reports the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA).

In a February 11 video posted to X, former Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu admitted that his meeting with US billionaire Thomas Pritzker—documented in the DOJ files—was specifically arranged to seek support “against the Armenian lobby” ahead of the 2015 Armenian Genocide centennial.

DOJ records show Pritzker emailing Epstein about Davutoglu, describing him as a “Kissinger-type figure,” and arranging a meeting between the two.

Pritzker has since resigned as Hyatt Hotels chair, citing his ties to Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

As per ANCA, the pattern is clear: genocide denial and the Epstein class are not separate stories. US Ambassador to Turkey Tom Barrack denied the Armenian Genocide on behalf of Ankara. Davutoglu used the Epstein network to fight Armenian Genocide recognition in Washington.

The ANCA is demanding the immediate firing of US Ambassador to Turkey Tom Barrack.
