Armenian Prime Minister Wants Face-to-Face Meeting With Trump
Request comes amid escalating tension with Turkey
The newly installed Prime Minister of Armenia is amping up efforts to get a face-to-face meeting with President Donald Trump, an effort that recently received a boost in Congress, when nearly 50 members formally petitioned the White House to organize a meeting with the Armenia leader. Nikol Pashinyan was swept into office in May after leading a poplar revolution against the former regime led by Prime Minister Serzh Sargsyan, who was forced out of office by Pashinyan, a prominent newspaper editor and reformist voice. On the heels of this electoral victory, Pashinyan has been seeking a one-on-one with Trump to help bolster ties between the United States and Armenia.
The request for a meeting with Trump comes as tensions escalate between the United States and Turkey, which was recently hit with sanctions for its continued detainment of American Pastor Andrew Brunson. Proponents of the meeting with Pashinyan see an opportunity to bolster ties between the United States and Armenia as diplomatic tensions escalate with Turkey, which has traditionally had chilly relations with Armenia.
"The Republic of Armenia has seen a remarkable change in its government through peaceful and democratic means over the past few months," wrote nearly 50 lawmakers from both sides of the aisle in a July 30 letter to the White House. "As part of this movement, Mr. Pashinyan—a former newspaper editor and political prisoner—led tens of thousands of Armenians through the streets of Yerevan to protest former President and Prime Minister Sargsyan's decade-long rule," the letter states. "Prior to being voted into his role of Prime Minister in May, Mr. Pashinyan organized this nonviolent grassroots movement known as the ‘Velvet Revolution,' which ultimately forced Mr. Sargsyan to resign."
The United States has an opportunity to strengthen its ties with Armenia on the heels of a popular revolution that could usher in series reforms, the lawmakers said. "As Armenia seeks to bolster government transparency, strengthen democratic institutions, and empower civil society, it is critical for the United States to deepen its ties with this regional partner at every level of government," the lawmakers wrote. "Without question, your meeting with Prime Minister Pashinyan would help to further this goal and strengthen dialogue between our countries."
As American pastor Brunson continues to be held in Turkish prison, the United States has an opportunity to cement ties with Armenia, one of Turkey's chief diplomatic rivals. In addition to a meeting with Trump, Congress is petitioning the U.S. administration to pursue high-level diplomatic talks with the new Armenian government.
The lawmakers are seeking "a series of high-level conversations between your [Trump's] Cabinet Secretaries and their counterparts in Armenia—many of whom have recently been appointed as members of the newly formed government," according to the letter. "These meetings would help to establish a critical bridge between our countries, helping to further increase Armenia's inclusion in the international system and likely leading to more comprehensive U.S.-Armenian bilateral trade."
The Trump administration has been mum on the request, declining to comment on questions from the Washington Free Beacon about a potential meeting. A State Department official told the Free Beacon it "reviews and appropriately responds to all congressional correspondence," but would not comment any further. The White House National Security Council also declined to comment on the matter.
One former Trump administration official who has seen the letter told the Free Beacon the White House should seize the moment with Armenia and build up new ties. "At the very moment Turkey is turning away from the U.S. and our national interests abroad, Armenia is doing everything in its power to extend the olive branch and establish an even closer relationship with America," the source said. "President Trump should embrace that and not back down in the face of Erdogan and his radical Muslim thuggery."

Politico Reporter: Iranian Protests ‘Blaming the Regime’ After U.S. Exits Nuclear Deal
Thousands of Iranians have rallied in recent days to protest mounting unemployment and a dramatic drop in the currency, blaming the regime—not the United States—for months of economic turmoil, a Politico reporter said Wednesday. In several videos posted to social media over the past week, crowds of dissidents are heard chanting, "Death to the dictator" as the United States prepared to reinstate sanctions on the country following President Donald Trump’s exit from the international nuclear deal in May. "You have all these different pressures and people are getting upset and for the most part, from what we can tell, they’re blaming the regime and they’re not really blaming the U.S.," Politico foreign affairs correspondent Nahal Toosi said on the Bill Press Show.
Anti-government demonstrations have spread across the country in recent months, from Iran’s heartland to dozens of cities, including the capital of Tehran, as citizens grow increasingly disillusioned by the weak economy, strict Islamic laws, and chronic drought. The Iranian rial fell to a record low late last month, dropping in value by half since April, leading to sharp price increases and fast-rising inflation. Fueling calls for regime change, Iranian security forces have killed several demonstrators, including at least two protesters who suffered fatal gun wounds over the weekend.
President Hassan Rouhani made his first public comments on the protests Monday, acknowledging some concerns while downplaying the scale of demonstrations, the Wall Street Journal reported. "Look how many calls are out there in cyberspace to come out for riots or protests," he said in a televised interview. "Only a small number come. This shows people’s patience and awareness. I do not have any national-security concern."
The first wave of U.S. sanctions targeting Iran’s automotive sector as well as gold, steel, and other metals went into effect Tuesday. The Trump administration will ratchet up pressure on Tehran’s economy in early November when U.S. sanctions on Iranian oil are due to snapback.

APNewsBreak: 1940 civil rights worker slaying case reopened
More than 78 years after civil rights worker Elbert Williams' body was found in a Tennessee river, a district attorney announced Wednesday that he is reopening the investigation into the slaying. Haywood County DA Garry Brown said his office is launching an investigation into the death of the 32-year-old black man, whose body was found in a Brownsville river in June 1940, three days after being taken from his home by a group of men led by a police office. "We cannot do all in 2018 that should have been done in 1940, but justice and historic truth demand that questions about the cause of Elbert Williams' death, and the identity of his killer(s), that should have been answered long ago, be answered now if possible," Brown said in a statement. "We will do what we can."
The Department of Justice initially ordered the case be presented to a federal grand jury, then mysteriously reversed itself and closed the case in early 1942. A U.S. attorney in Memphis declined to re-open the investigation in 2017, after a request from Williams' relatives and Jim Emison, a lawyer who became intrigued by the case. An NAACP official has called Williams "the first martyr of the NAACP." No one was ever charged in the case, and Williams' grave has not been found, though it is believed to be in a cemetery near Brownsville. It was not immediately clear if Brown has new leads or if new evidence has been discovered.
The move comes about three weeks after the U.S. government renewed its investigation into the 1955 slaying of Emmett Till, a 14-year-old black boy from Chicago who was visiting relatives in Mississippi when he was brutally killed. Former U.S. Attorney Edward Stanton III said in a February 2017 letter to Williams' family that his office could not reopen the investigation because more than 75 years had passed since the crimes and many if not all of the potential witnesses have died. He also wrote that the statute of limitations for any federal crime had long expired. However, there is no time limit on first-degree murder charges in Tennessee. Brown said the case falls under Tennessee's new Civil Rights Crimes Cold Case Law, which mandates a statewide survey of cold civil rights crimes and directs referral of viable cases for prosecution.
Brown's investigators plan to team up with a University of Tennessee forensic scientist to look for Williams' grave. Emison and others believe exhuming the body could lead to a murder weapon. Williams' wife said she saw what looked like bullet holes in his chest. A relative is providing a DNA sample to help identify the body, Emison said. Williams was killed more than two decades before NAACP leader Medgar Evers was gunned down by a Klansman outside his Jackson, Mississippi, home in 1963 but has received far less attention than the slayings of Evers and Till. Williams was part of a group of people who registered black voters in western Tennessee in the early days of the civil rights movement. They toiled in rural areas where lynchings had taken place and civil rights workers were threatened with violence.
FBI and Justice Department documents Emison obtained from the National Archives showed that Brownsville police, upset because the local NAACP branch was registering blacks to vote, had led an effort to force its members out of town. Then-U.S. Assistant Attorney General Wendell Berge said in a letter to U.S. District Attorney William Clanahan that the "obvious purpose" of the police and others had been to frighten the town's black population and prevent them from voting. When police got a tip that he was planning an NAACP meeting at his home, a group of men led by police Officer Tip Hunter went to his residence, said they needed to question him outside and then took him away on June 20, 1940. Williams' body was found three days later in the nearby Hatchie River.
No autopsy was performed. A coroner's jury ruled the body was badly decomposed and that the cause of death was believed to be by "foul means by persons unknown." he Justice Department closed its investigation in spite of evidence gathered by Thurgood Marshall, then special counsel to the NAACP who later became the U.S. Supreme Court's first African-American justice.
Emison, who has done exhaustive research, believes there may be witnesses — or perpetrators — still alive. He said a new investigation into Williams' death is "a dream come true." "I hope this has a cascade effect," he said. "It's a matter of the pursuit of justice, no matter how long it takes." Stanton, the former U.S. attorney, said the federal government couldn't find a way to reopen the case, but he called Williams "an American and civil rights hero." "He dared to organize American citizens to register to vote and was likely murdered for it," he wrote.

Iran crowds reportedly chant 'death to the dictator!' as US sanctions increase economic unrest
Days of unprecedented protests aimed at Iran's sluggish economy along with "biting" sanctions imposed by President Trump are ramping up pressure Tuesday on the Islamic Republic's ruling class and causing many analysts to wonder if regime change could be on the horizon. Videos circulating on social media purportedly taken from inside Iran show thousands of protesters marching through the streets. In one video, crowds leaving a soccer match are heard yelling "death to the dictator! Death to Khamenei! Death to Rouhani!" and "Islamic regime must get lost!” according to a translation tweeted by a Middle East analyst. Another video said to be taken in Tehran shows idle buses lined up as far as the eye can see, with the same analyst reporting Iran’s government has refused to pay back its debts to a contractor that gives the drivers fuel, leaving them – and the thousands of Iranians they would have been transporting – stranded.
"Look at our situation. We've been waiting for 24 hours,” a bus driver is reported to have said in another clip. “How dare the regime sends money to Hezbollah and Palestine when the country is in trouble. Our revolution's aim wasn't to support dirty [Hezbollah leader] Hassan Nasrallah and we can be oppressed here. Enough."
A senior Trump administration official told Fox News the restored sanctions against Iran that went into effect at midnight are designed to constrict the revenue Iran uses to fund “terrorists, dictators, proxy militias, and the regime’s own cronies.” Trump signed the executive order Monday to restore some of the sanctions that were lifted under the 2015 nuclear deal during the Obama administration. The executive order targeted transactions involving U.S. dollars, as well as the country’s automotive sector, the purchase of commercial planes and metals, including gold.
In November, the administration says it will restore sanctions on Iran’s oil and gas and banking sector. An administration official said the U.S. will aggressively enforce these sanctions, potentially subjecting even allied businesses to penalties. Trump on Tuesday added he is “asking for WORLD PEACE, nothing less!” “The Iran sanctions have officially been cast. These are the most biting sanctions ever imposed, and in November they ratchet up to yet another level,” he tweeted. “Anyone doing business with Iran will NOT be doing business with the United States.” The uncertainty caused by the re-imposition of the sanctions have proved devastating for the Iranian economy, which was already weakened by decades of previous sanctions and mismanagement and theft by high-ranking officials. Iran's rial now trades over double its government-set rate to the U.S. dollar, the Associated Press reported, and has lost nearly 80 percent of its value compared to last year at this time, according to the New York Times.
