    Argentinean judge sustains claim of Gregorio Hairabedian against Turkey


    April 02, 2011 | 19:07

    An Argentine federal judge declared `the Turkish state committed the
    crime of genocide against the Armenian people between 1915 and 1923'.

    Judge Norberto Oyarbide sustained a claim of Armenian descendant
    living in Argentina. Gregorio Hairabedian filed a lawsuit against
    Turkey demanding to learn fate of his 50 relatives who disappeared
    during the Armenian Genocide.

    The judge also stated Turkey should help Hairabedian get information
    about his relatives, reports Diario Armenia, newspaper of Argentinean
    Armenians.

    On January 10, 2007, President of Argentina Nestor Kirchner approved a
    draft bill marking April 24 as `Day of action for tolerance and
    respect between people'.
