    Joseph but the guys in ANCA are different than you or other average Armenians.

    Anca is a political organization and pursueing a political agenda, I dont think they would miss a chance if they would convict Turkey at the court. And they have not filed a case against Turkey(as far as I know).

    The Armenian Genocide has been recognized on several occasions by the U.N. I think what the Turkish state is looking for is an all-encompassing U.N. ruling that would list any possible reparations and recrimations to be voted on be member nations. For Armenians, presenting a brand new case on which Armenians can be judged is painful and insulting to the memory of those who have been killed and seems futile because while it would be recognized as a genocide, it will not result in any compensation.
    As a moderate, I would much rather see recognition than compensation.

      There are several Armenian political action committees and lobbying groups and they are not necessarily unified. The ANCA is certainly very vocal but they do not have the power to petition the U.N to organize a debate (which would have to precede a vote) a vote and subsequent judgement. I know for a fact that they tried in 1992 but it didn't get very far. The reasons were mainly to do with the fact that in the UN these days at least, is very reluctant to make a retroactive judgement on something that happened 90 years ago and from what I also learned, they did not want to do something that would worsen the already strainded Turkish/Armenian relations, and it was already recognized in 1985. The ANCA is pushing for land reparations which the U.N. will never agree to.
      General Antranik (1865-1927): “I am not a nationalist. I recognize only one nation, the nation of the oppressed.”

        Is it really true that Armenia or Armenians are reluctant in bringing the A.G. to the ICJ? If so why?

        I really am asking out of ignorance.
        I explained to Turq in another thread why Armenians did not sue Turkey in ICJ ... he DID NOT understand what I'm sayin (seem like that) ICJ WILL NOT TAKE CAESES OLDER THAN IT'S FOUNDATION DATE this is to be brief, and for TurQ to GET IT THIS TIME.
