Last week, Answer Man took a peek inside the old National Bank Building
at 14th and G streets NW. A museum about the Armenian genocide is
planned for the handsome structure.
McClatchy Newspapers reported this month that legal wrangles have
complicated the situation. A wealthy Armenian American donor,
Gerard Cafesjian, is suing to get his donation back. Meanwhile,
museum organizers are suing Cafesjian, accusing him of interfering
with their plans. The case is being heard by U.S. District Judge
Colleen Kollar-Kotelly.
"We think the museum is going to be built regardless of how the
litigation comes out," said Arnold Rosenfeld, an attorney for Armenian
Assembly of America.
