Baghdoyan says the lawsuit against the L'union vie, Caisee paternelle
and La confiance companies has been settled with the AXA company.
Baghdoyan presented details of this process as well as the results
of the case with the New York Live Insurance at a news conference in
Yerevan today.
The representatives of the law firm said that the deadline for
applications has been extended until January 7, 2008, according

banks operating in the Ottoman Empire. He said that unlike before,
the names of people will be mentioned in the lists to make it easy
for people to find their ancestors.
