Abstract
Over the last several decades, Armenian lobby has been the key driving force behind U.S. policy towards Armenia. This lobby has been interacting mainly with members of U.S. Congress who, in their turn, played a crucial role in providing substantial amounts of U.S. financial aid to Armenia and in ensuring that aid is also made available to Nagorny Karabakh - a non-recognized secessionist region of Azerbaijan. Under Congressional influence, the U.S. administration has regularly to review its position on recognizing the mass killing and prosecution of ethnic Armenians in the Ottoman Empire as acts of genocide. Overall, although the Armenian lobby in the U.S. largely relies on private donations by members of the Armenian diaspora, this lobby is cohesive and goal-oriented which makes it a formidable player in the U.S. federal and state-level politics. Armenian lobby is being effectively opposed by the Turkish and Azerbaijani lobbies that draw on large-scale support from the governments of Turkey and Azerbaijan. Overall, as of late 2010s, the U.S. agenda in relations with Armenia remains limited; it is much smaller in scope compared to the agenda of U.S. policy vis-a-vis Armenia's regional rivals - Turkey and Azerbaijan.
