PanARMENIAN.Net - U.S. Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) released the following
statement after the 9th Circuit ruled in the Movsesian v. Versicherung
case, effectively barring Armenian-Americans from seeking the return
of stolen Armenian Genocide-era insurance assets through U.S. courts,
under California law:
"I am deeply disappointed and mystified by this decision and cannot
see how the 9th Circuit could have reached such a flawed legal
conclusion. I will be studying the decision in the coming days and
will be working with my friends in the Armenian-American community
to determine next steps.
"I was proud to submit an amicus brief on behalf of genocide victims
and their families, and I am more than willing to do so again with
the United States Supreme Court."
