The fact that the only time armenians resort to legal means is for the insurance money gives the impression that they are after the money. Here is my question; Is there any one armenian who has sued Turkey in international courts? e.g the European Court of Human Rights? Or, why has not the state of armenia taken any action against Turkey in the United Nations? If you guys really do think your evidence is indisputable, sue Turkey and bring your evidence to court! Nah! You can’t do that. You know if full well if you do that your case is down the drain. The only time the armenian cause makes advances is when the armenians threaten the politicians of certain countries with their voting power.
who do I contact in Calif. about reparation?
I believe you may get some answers from Mark Geragos’ group http://www.geragos.com/. They were working on these types of cases. I may be incorrect, but they would be able to point you in the right direction or at least refer you. Being that Geragos is a celebrity lawyer, you may have to try a few times because of his hectic schedule. You can also try the Armenian Assembly of America, http://www.aaainc.org/ or the Armenian National Committee, http://www.anca.org/. Good luck!

The fact that the Holocaust was universally acknowledged and condemned was not because Israel had sued Germany in United Nations or International Court of Justice or elsewhere. The Jews, that is, the main victims of the Holocaust were not even allowed to participate in the Nuremberg trials. Holocaust was recognized mainly because the big powers themselves had suffered enormously at the hands of Nazi Germany and were determined to punish the culprit. This was not the case with the perpetrators of Armenian Genocide. In spite of their promises and threats to punish the Young Turk criminals, the big powers of the time began to compete with each other after the war to appease Turkey for their own gains. The big powers of today behave not much differently from those days for their imagined political and economic interests with Turkey. That’s why The US adiministration interferes every year at the eleventh hour to overturn the resolutions of the houses which have time and again acknowledged the Armenian Genocide. But, of course the times can change, as we see it happen, and Turkey may no longer be able to hold its cherished place as the spoiled brat of the Anglo-Saxon powers.

The fact that the Holocaust was acknowledged and condemned universally was not because Israel sued Germany in the United Nations, Inernational Court of Justice or the like. The jews, that is, the main victims of the Holocaust were not even allowed to participate in Nurenberg trials. The big powers had themselves suffered enormously at the hands of Nazi Germany were determined to punish the culprits. In the case of the Armenian Genocide, those powers began to compete with each other after the war in appeasing Turky for their own gains, despite their promises or threats during the war to punish Young Turk criminals. Those big powers do not act very differently today. Every time the Houses adopt a resolution acknowledging and condemning the Armenian Genocide, the US administration interferes at the eleventh hour to overturn the resolution, because Turkey is “an imortant Nato ally”. But the times can change, as we are witnessing, and Turkey may no longer be able to hold its cherished position as a spoiled brat of the Anglo-Saxon powers.
this is interesting; i like to learn more about this history and these claims and what has happened and what laws and cases and precedents and legal principles are applicable.
