Florida resident Armenian Jerar Kafesjian seven years ago decided to build a museum in Washington in memory of so called Armenian genocide. He purchased a building next to the White House that previously belonged to Washington National Bank for $4million for that purpose.
The Armenian Assembly of America undertook to give $500 million for the constructing of said museum. However, the Assembly failed to pay the sum to Jerar Kafesjian in the past seven years showing various pretexts. Kafesjian appealed to the US federal court on April 26, this year demanding repayment of the amount spent on the project and sued the Armenian Assembly of America. The claimant requested $18-20million instead of $4million explaining this with the rise in the building of the Washington National Bank during this period.
Lawyer Timothy Thornton for Kafesjian called the Armenian Assembly “a group of idlers and intriguersâ€. The lawyer said his client will struggle against this Assembly till the end. He added the planned museum on ‘Armenian genocide’ will hardly come true. The first court hearing has been fixed to August 23 this year. /APA/
