MINNEAPOLIS, APRIL 15, ARMENIANS TODAY - NOYAN TAPAN. On March 31,
the U.S. District Court in Minnesota dismissed the first lawsuit filed
by Gerard Cafesjian and the Cafesjian Family Foundation against the
Armenian Assembly of America and the Armenian Genocide Museum and
Memorial in favour of the latters.
Thus rapid progress continues towards the opening of the museum,
which is slated for 2010.
It should be mentioned that the lawsuit filed by Cafesjian in April
2007 sought to rescind the grant agreement his Foundation had made
with the Armenian Assembly with respect to the Armenian Genocide
Museum project.
Despite additional lawsuits filed by Cafesjian in Minnesota and the
District of Columbia in an effort to obstruct the museum project,
no court to date has ruled in Cafesjian's favor.
