YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 1, NOYAN TAPAN. Starting from January 31, almost a
thousand heirs of the Armenian Genocide victims will receive their
compensation payments from AXA insurance company within two weeks,
famous Armenian American lawyer Vartkes Yeghiayan said – a number of
Armenian mass media outlets reported, citing Days monthly published
in Prague. Over 12 thousand claims were rejected by the judge, about
which the claimants will be notified.

In 2007 a group of Armenian lawyers won a lawsuit filed against AXA,
which agreed to pay 17.5 million dollars, 11 million dollars of
which will be distributed to heirs, and the rest will be given to
the lawyers and Armenian organizations based in France.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
