/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Speaking about US Federal Appeals Court's decision
prohibiting descendants of Armenian Genocide victims to sue foreign
companies for unpaid claims, it is still early to say what impact it
will have on Genocide recognition process, Arpi Vardanyan, AAA Regional
Director for Armenia and Karabakh, told a press conference in Yerevan.
"Court decision can be appealed within 30 days, so it's still early
to speak about possible consequence unless that time-limit has expired.
But I am convinced that American court's decision will be an advance
step towards preventing and condemning Genocide," AAA Regional
Director said.
Assembly, according to her, is going to send President Obama a letter
with a claim to declare that US Federal Appeals Court misinterprets
US position on Armenian Genocide.
On August 20, US Federal Court ruled that descendents of Armenian
Genocide victims cannot sue foreign insurance companies for unpaid
claims since US Government doesn't officially recognize that an
Armenian Genocide occurred.
