NEW YORK - Armenian-American attorney Mark Geragos voiced about the Turkish
strategy of the Armenian Genocide denial and the double standards policy of
the United States in this issue during CNN's Anderson Cooper 360 program
on This week.
The panelist on the program were unanimous to condemned the policy adopted
by Iran regarding the Holocaust of the Jewish people by Nazis. Mark Geragos
reminded the interlocutors that the United States conduct similar policy in
the Armenian Genocide issue, which was followed by the other genocides of
the 20th century. Among other things Mark Geragos underscored: `Turkey is
our greatest ally in that region. But Turkey denies the Armenian Genocide.
As a presidential candidate Barack Obama stated that he will recognize the
Armenian Genocide, if he is elected. So in my opinion the political
dynamics in this issue is a little bit hypocritical.'
Mark John Geragos (born October 5, 1957) is an Armenian-American criminal
defense lawyer as the Principal with the internationally known trial lawyer
firm of Geragos & Geragos, Mark Geragos cemented his national reputation as
a trial lawyer a dozen years ago with back-to-back State and Federal Court
jury trial acquittals for renowned Whitewater figure Susan McDougal, later
securing a presidential pardon for Ms. McDougal for a conviction sustained
prior to his representation of her.
Geragos was one of the lead lawyers in a pair of groundbreaking Federal
Class Action Lawsuits against New York Life Insurance and AXA Corporation
for insurance policies issued in the early 20th century during the genocide
of over 1.5 million Armenians by the Ottoman Turk Regime, eventually
settling these two cases for more than $37.5 million. He is currently suing
the Government of Turkey for reparations arising out of the Armenian
Genocide.
