(ASBAREZ) CINCINNATI, Ohio (Cincinnati Enquirer)\u2014Former Republican Congresswoman Jean Schmidt faces a $2,500 fine for not reporting legal assistance provided by a pro-Turkish group, reported the Cincinnati Enquirer. <\/p>\n

The Turkish Coalition of America Inc., which aided Schmidt in several legal disputes connected to her political career, will pay a $25,000 fine, the Federal Election Commission said in its letter to all parties in the matter.<\/p>\n

The June 10 agreement with the FEC comes nearly five years after Schmidt\u2019s political opponent, David Krikorian, leveled the accusation, which was a part of a multi-front battle between the two over Schmidt\u2019s support of Turkey in Congress and Krikorian\u2019s characterizations about her support.<\/p>\n

Neither Schmidt nor Krikorian are in politics anymore, but the battle has continued, long after voters rejected them both.<\/p>\n

The Armenian National Committee of America<\/a> issued a statement after the 2012 Congressional elections, highlighting Schmidt\u2019s ties to groups campaigning for the denial of the Armenian genocide. \u201cWe welcome Congresswoman Jean Schmidt\u2019s rejection by Ohio voters. The ethics investigation into her impermissible financial ties with genocide-denial groups allied with Ankara clearly contributed meaningfully to her defeat, as, no doubt, did voter backlash against her relentlessly mean-spirited and unfair attacks against Armenian American candidate David Krikorian,\u201d read the statement.<\/p>\n

Schmidt reported she had repaid Turkish Coalition of America $42,812 in legal fees and expenses, but in fact, the TCA provided free legal services to Schmidt worth $651,244 in several cases from 2008 to 2011, the FEC said. Schmidt was represented by TCA\u2019s legal arm, the Turkish American Legal Defense Fund.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are pleased that this matter was resolved in the manner that explains the mitigating circumstances and the ambiguous state of the law,\u201d said David Saltzman, legal counsel for the Turkish Coalition of America. \u201cRather than litigate this matter, the Turkish Coalition of America agreed to settle on favorable terms and thereby keeps its focus on its programs that help foster understanding and cooperation across the globe.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWith these actions, the FEC has finally delivered a small measure of justice,\u201d said Krikorian in an emailed statement. \u201cThe Turkish Coalition of America should have its \u2018charitable\u2019 status revoked for its willful and egregious violations of campaign finance law.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Enquirer could not reach Schmidt for comment.<\/p>\n
