About
International Advisors Inc. was a foreign lobbying firm founded in 1989 by Douglas Feith, who served as its CEO and sole stockholder. Described as the brainchild of Richard Perle, who was its highest-paid consultant earning $48,000 per year, the firm was registered under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) and represented the Government of the Republic of Turkey. It provided lobbying and consulting services related to U.S. policy toward Turkey, including efforts to oppose congressional resolutions recognizing the Armenian genocide. The firm was dissolved prior to Feith's appointment as Under Secretary of Defense for Policy in the George W. Bush administration amid scrutiny over potential conflicts of interest related to its Turkish representation.
