Leader of Armenian Dashnak Party Kiro Manoyan claimed that the decision of U.S. Federal Appeals Court prohibiting descendants of Ottoman Armenians to sue foreign companiesfor unpaid complainshas no legal basis.
Reminding that CaliforniaState adopted a law in 2000, which allows descendants of Ottoman Armenians to sue American andother foreign insurance companies for unpaidclaims, Manoyancriticized recent decision of U.S.Federal AppealsCourt.
DashnakParty leadersaid that Turkish organizations in United Statescan use the decision of U.S. Federal Court of Appealsas a tool to prevent Congress adoptingresolution recognizing so called Armenian genocide.
On August 20, US Federal Appeals court ruled that Armenian Americans descended fromOttoman Armenianscannot sue foreign insurance companies for unpaid claims because the US Government does not legally recognize that an “Armenian genocide” occurred.
