Armenia and the Armenian lobby claim lands in Turkey, the Turkish
newspaper Haberturk said Jan.22.
It is reported that the old presidential palace in Cankaya and part
of territory on which the Ataturk Airport in Istanbul is located are
among places that are being sought for return by Armenians.
Armenia and the Armenian lobby in connection with the centennial
of the so-called Armenian genocide filed a lawsuit in the court of
Turkey on the return of lands, which allegedly were taken away from
some of the Armenians during the events of 1915.
Harut Sassounian, a writer of Armenian origin residing in the US,
reportedly stressed that Armenia and the diaspora are considering
taking legal actions against Ankara, and will resort to international
courts if the lawsuits they file against the government are rejected
in Turkey.
On Jan.3 2015, a writer of Armenian origin Zuart Sudjian claimed the
land where Diyarbakır Airport is located, alleging that the land
was taken from Sudijian's family and belongs to his grandfather.
At present, the court is clarifying the verity of the submitted
documents.
Armenia and the Armenian lobby claim that Turkey's predecessor, the
Ottoman Empire allegedly carried out "genocide" against the Armenians
living in Anatolia in 1915. Turkey in turn has always denied "the
genocide" took place.
While strengthening the efforts to promote the so-called genocide in
the world, Armenians have achieved its recognition by the parliaments
of some countries.
Although Turkey has repeatedly proposed to create an independent
commission to investigate the events of 1915, Armenia continues to
reject this proposal.
