"The Armenian people did not lose, but the people of the world lost. If
any court can make such a decision without taking into account all
the facts of the Armenian Genocide, which are included not only in
the archives of the US, but also in several archives of the world.",
– said Arpi Vardanian, the Director of AAA Armenian and NKR Offices,
concerning the decision made on the August 20 by the US California
Court of Appeal.
It should be mentioned that the California Court of Appeal declared
the Californian law anti constitutional, according to which the
offspring of the Armenian Genocide got the opportunity to accuse the
companies which had insured the properties of their ancestors and
get the proper compensation.
A. Vardanian mentioned that the Court of Appeal did not even pay
attention to the opinions and investigations held by many companies,
countries, USA and individuals on the issue of the Armenian Genocide
all over the world, who repeat the same every year: "The Armenian
Genocide is to be recognized".
This is a dangerous statement as it endangers the peoples of the
world and does not prevent further genocide realizations.
A. Vardanian also mentioned the fact that the Turkish ambassador to
the USA addressed a letter to the California Court Appeal. The judges
declared that they did not pay attention to the content of the letter,
this fact and all the other ones served the basis for many questions,
according to A. Vardanian.
She pointed out the following issue: "Why did not the court demand
such a letter from the Armenian embassy, after having got such a
letter from Turkey?"
Anyway, A. Vardanian thinks that the decision made by the court is not
preconditioned by the policy led by the ruling regime of Barack Obama.
The basis of this statement is the utterance "Great Genocide" made by
the president on April 24. A. Vardanian also thinks that this issue
can be settled down "immediately" by B. Obama, who can make clear that
not uttering the word "Genocide" does not mean denying the "Genocide".
