BERLIN, MAY 16, NOYAN TAPAN – ARMENIANS TODAY. German representatives
of the Deutsche Bank and Dresdner Bank refused to meet with three
American Armenian attorneys Vartkes Yeghiayan, Mark Geragos and
Brian Kabateck who are in Berlin. To recap, the attorneys brought a
criminal action the last year against those two German banks as the
latters hid the property deposited by Armenian before the World War
I and Armenian Genocide and hindered from their compensation.
But, the American Armenian attorneys managed to meet with the German
officials. The attorneys mentioned that the meeting was effective
for both sides.
The meeting details are kept secret. During the press conference
followed the meeting, the attorneys called on the banks representatives
to cooperate with them and discuss the demands presented by them
round the negotiation table.
The American Armenian attorneys were in Paris earlier to bring a
criminal action against the AXA Insurance Company as that French
company did not pay the compensation of 17.5 mln dollars to be given
to heirs of the 1915 Armenian Genocide victims.
Martin Marothy from attorneys reached an agreement with the New York
life company which was obliged to pay 20 mln U.S. dollars to heirs
of the victims.
In Vartkes Yeghiayan’s words, those agreements with the banks and
insurance companies bring the world recognition of the Armenian
Genocide a step close, making all those who disprove the Genocide
not being aware of the 1915 cases, and particularly those Turks who
were for years led into error by the state propaganda, conciliate
with the reality and understand that if there was no genocide, those
structures would not pay compensation of millions of dollars.
Heirs of the Armenians insured their life at the AXA Insurance Company
