Los Angeles Armenians have filed a claim against the Turkish government and two big Turkish banks-Central Bank and Agricultural Bank.
Armenian mass media, reported that the heirs of the victims of "Armenian genocide" demand compensations of several billions of dollars for property and real estate lost in the early 20th century as well as for amounts kept on banking accounts.
According to Armenia, the initiators of the claim were resident of Los Angeles Garbis Davunyan and resident of New York Hrayr Tovmasyan.
Lawyers say this is the first case when the claim is directly filed against the Turkish government.
