Boston. USA. - On October 26, the Zalkind, Rodriguez, Lunt and Duncan LLP and its lawyer Harvey Silverglate (who is Jewish) filed a federal lawsuit to be tried by a jury in Boston an behalf of Assembly of Turkish American Associations (which is financed by Turkey), Thomas Griswold and his student son Theodore Griswold, teachers William (Bob) Schechter and Lawrence Aaronson (both are Jewish), against David Driscoll, Commissioner of Education of Massachusetts Department of Education, James Peyser, Chairman of Massachusetts Board of Education, The Department of Education for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the Massachusetts Board of Education, accusing them that the 1998 guidelines for high school curriculum of "Holocaust, Irish Potato Famine, the Trans-Atlantic slave trade and the Armenian Genocide" has eliminated Turkish materials which challenged whether the killings of Armenians was a Genocide.
One day later, on October 27th issue, The Wall Street Journal published page one article of Kara Scannel titled "Turk-Armenian Fight Over WWI History Goes to a U.S. Court", informing about the lawsuit and questioning the term "Armenian Genocide". Our investigation showed that Kara Scannel has started to write her story on October 5, twenty-two days before it the lawsuit was filed.
Two days later, on October 28, The Boston Globe published Shelly Murphy’s similar article, again informing about the lawsuit and questioning the term Armenian Genocide, this time with a picture of teacher William (Bob) Schechter and his 17 years old student Theodore Griswold in a sad mood in front of a poster of Mexican Zabata and Viva La Revolucion writing. Our investigation showed that lawyer Harvey Silverglate (who is Jewish) has started his deliberations in 2003 with the request of Assembly of Turkish American Associations (Financed by Turkey), and that Silverglate has convinced the teacher William (Bob) Schechter and then the teacher convinced his 17 years old student Theodore Griswold to be the Plaintiff.
Twenty days after of the October 26 filing, Tom Reilly, attorney General of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts has to answer the lawsuit and then defend the Department of Education. On October 29, members of political parties of the Armenian Community of Massachusetts convened an extraordinary meeting with the participation of many former American political dignitaries, and decided to counter the first Turkish legal attack in the U.S. and support the Attorney General of the Commonwealth in his deliberations.
If the Turkish Government succeeds in its sponsored lawsuit, that means the beginning of similar lawsuits in other states. The Armenians of Massachusetts are detrimental in stopping the Turkish legal attack once forever.
