ArmInfo. The decision by the Federal Court invalidating the Law of
California State allowing the successors of the Armenians killed
during the Genocide in the Ottoman Empire to receive life insurance
policies of their relatives may give impulse to the issue of final
recognition of the Armenian Genocide by the USA, Arpi Vardanyan,
the director of Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh offices of the Armenian
Assembly of America told ArmInfo.
"This decision which was essentially wrong may draw even more attention
to the problem and became a measure on final recognition of the
Armenian Genocide by the USA," Vardanyan said. She mentioned that a
number of insurance companies including New York Life Insurance have
recognized the fact of Genocide and paid relevant indemnities. These
companies are unlikely to demand the paid policies back, she said.
"Denying Genocide of Armenians the court acted immorally and deserves
condemnation. The heirs of the people who survived the Genocide of
Armenians must get advantage of the situation to raise the issue at
the top level," Vardanyan said.
