Yerevan, April 8, Noyan Tapan. International Group of 2400 descendants of the victims of 1915 Genocide in Ottoman Imperia appealed to Armenia's President Serge Sarkisian in open letter. It is stated, particularly: "By our activities we implement the Declaration of Human Rights, which is the basis of the world democracies, in which we live. Armenians from all over world have numerous rights. 1. Right of choice: continue expecting for the public recognition of the Armenian Genocide by Turkey, which has not been accomplished for more than 90 years, or stop waiting and start exercising own rights, privately and with private rights. 2. Right of choice: to obtain inherited property, that is, houses and lands, belonging to our ascendants or to receive the replacement of their value. 3. Right of choice: to receive today the compensation in the sum of estate (in the form of investments, insurance, debts, etc), and continue waiting for the solution of the issue by public law". According to the letter, the purpose of the group is to create a large-scale judicial precedent for reciving a partial pecuniary compensation of inherited property. "This precedent will become a mechanism, which will enable any successor of Genocide: Armenians, Greeks, Assyrians, Ezids, start a process for obtaining the whole inherited property. Over the past several years our activities on protecting human rights have been focused on the Armenian nationwide humanitarian program "In the Memory of Successors". Today more than a hundred countries of the world, including Turkey, have joined efforts for the obligatory law of bills and circulating notes. This law enables to create a circulating note equal to the value of the decedent's estate. Court examines the validity of presented papers and the fact of notes being in financial circulation. The Decision of the court is obligatory for the countries subjected to the application of the law. An Heir will receive the sum equal to the circulating note from the financial market without being aware, who would buy his note. The ultimate purchaser of the note will be definitely Turkey's Treasury, since the circulating note will be part of ultimate transaction between Turkey and its partners. Today all 2400 descendants and participants of the "In the memory of Successors" program, who voluntarily have purchased circulating notes and put them in circulation, are aware, that the decision of the court, besides economical, has also political implications. Thus, they make a request to the head of the Armenian State for presenting his attitude to activities of the participants of "In the memory of successors" initiative. Currently, "before suing to a law-court, admit the fact of financial circulation of notes of 2400 true heirs", stated in the letter.
