Samuel A. Weems (December 12, 1936 – January 25, 2003) was an Armenian genocide denialist, the writer of the book Armenia: The Secrets of a "Christian" Terrorist State,[1] and a disbarred lawyer[2][3][4] from Hazen, Arkansas.
A year later he was convicted of arson and conspiring to defraud an insurance firm, but was not immediately removed from the office, despite the disbarment decision.
[5][non-primary source needed] He made various controversial remarks such as "the Armenians have never been known as truth tellers" and "the number one export of Armenia is terrorism".
Weems' book Armenia: The Secrets of a "Christian" Terrorist State[1] was condemned by the Armenian Assembly of America as "outrageous and racist anti-Armenian propaganda".
"[9][independent source needed] Weems died of a heart attack on January 25, 2003, and was survived by his Turkish wife, Gülnur, and a son.
