PanARMENIAN.Net - Analysis Research & Planning for Armenia (ARPA) NGO
will deliver a lecture in Glendale, CA, on reimbursement of Armenian
movable and immovable property during the Armenian Genocide.
The properties of brutally murdered or exiled Armenians are termed in
Turkish documents as "abandoned." Those present at the lecture will be
briefed on directives and decisions of the three Turkish governments
from 1914-1930. The documents disclose Turkish policy of plunder and
illegal confiscation of the Armenian property. Researchers translated
the documents from Turkish into English to enable wide range of people
to familiarize themselves with it.
On December 14, the U.S. House of Representatives adopted a landmark
religious freedom measure, H.Res.306, calling upon Turkey to return
the Christian church properties it stole through genocide, and to
end its repression of the surviving members of the vast Christian
civilizations that once represented a majority in the territory of
the present-day Republic of Turkey.
On August 28, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan signed a decree
on the return of Christian and Jewish religious property confiscated
after the 1930s. The properties involved include hospitals, orphanage
and school buildings, burial grounds.
The Turkish government also intends to pay compensation for the
property sold away. The property subject to return includes the former
hospital, orphanage, school buildings, cemeteries, shops, ground area,
as well as all assets of the Fund "Surb Harutiun" (Holly Resurrection).
