“Our office is reviewing reports that Dr. Mehmet Oz recently targeted the Armenian American community in Southern California, making racially charged claims of fraud outside Armenian-owned businesses, including a popular bakery. In the footage, he points to medical facilities and other businesses displaying Armenian-language signage and accuses them of being connected to a large-scale fraud scheme. They’ve got Cyrillic writing,” Oz says inaccurately while pointing to businesses with signs written in Armenian. “You see Russian, Armenian writing,” he adds. At that time, members of the state’s Armenian community also criticized Oz for repeatedly failing to explicitly condemn the Armenian Genocide.
