BERLIN, MAY 8, NOYAN TAPAN – ARMENIANS TODAY. A group of American
Armenian attorneys plans to meet on Thursday in Berlin with German
officials to negotiate on the judicial action brought against the
German Deutsche Bank and Dresdner Bank, DPA agency states. The
attorneys also hope to meet with representatives of the mentioned
banks.
To recap, those banks hid the property deposited by Armenians before
the World War I and Genocide and hamper their compensation.
The German parliament affirmed a draft in 2005 by which it
demanded from Turkey to accept its "role" in the issue of the
massacre of Armenians, but, however, did not qualify that crime
as a genocide. German legislators called on the German government
to make all efforts for Turkey and the country parliament confront
their history, assist creation of an Armenian and Turk historians’
joint commission and open their archives.
