Armenian American Verbal Thuggery Provokes Criminal Investigation Request in Ohio

by
Washington DC, November 3, 2008  – The
Turkish American Legal Defense Fund today requested the Attorney
General of Ohio, Nancy H. Rogers, to open a criminal investigation
under Ohio law into signature Armenian verbal thuggery employed by
Armenian American independent candidate David Krikorian against
Representative Jean Schmidt. The Congresswoman represents the 2nd
district of Ohio, and is running for re-election. The criminal lies
under that Krikorian recently splattered against Ms. Schmidt are
emblematic of the religiously and ethnically bigoted campaign tactics
that Armenian Americans celebrate, directly or indirectly, against
congressional candidates who refuse to salute their narrow,
close-minded, fanatical anti-Turkish agenda.
