Epstein's Circle Involved in Efforts Against Armenian Genocide Recognition, ANCA

Documents released in the Epstein case reveal a direct connection between the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein's network and efforts to prevent the recognition of the Armenian Genocide in the United States. This was reported by the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA).

According to the statement, in a video posted on February 11, 2026, on social media platform X, former Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu confessed that his meeting with American billionaire Thomas Pritzker (which is recorded in Department of Justice materials) was specifically organized to garner support against the 'Armenian lobby' ahead of the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide in 2015.

“Department of Justice records indicate that Pritzker sent an email to Epstein regarding Davutoğlu, describing him as a 'Kissinger-type figure' and facilitating their meeting. Since then, Pritzker has resigned from his position as head of Hyatt Hotels, citing his connections with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell as the reason,” the statement highlights.

The ANCA asserts that the pattern is evident: genocide denial and the 'Epstein circle' are not separate stories. “Tom Barrec, the U.S. ambassador to Turkey, has denied the Armenian Genocide on behalf of Ankara. Davutoğlu has utilized Epstein's network to fight against the recognition of the Genocide in Washington,” emphasized the organization's statement, which calls for the Trump administration to dismiss Barrec from his position.
