Greek Cypriots have filed a lawsuit against the Turkish Government claiming $170b USD in compensation for the occupation of the island.
The lawsuit which points to religions and ethnic cleansings reportedly perpetrated by the Turks was filed on behalf of the Greek Cypriots at a Washington district court by lawyer Athan Tsimpedes.
Last year the Greek Cypriots were claiming $1b USD.
On July 29 Armenian-American lawyers Garbis Davouyan of Los Angeles and Hrayr Turabian of Queens, N.Y filed a federal lawsuit against the Turkish government and two banks seeking compensation for the heirs of Armenians whose property was seized nearly in a century ago as they were driven from the Turkish Ottoman Empire.
The lawyers had said that this was the first time that a lawsuit was filed against the Turkish Government.
