The Federal Reserve Bank of New York asked judge to reject lawsuit filed by the Armenian group striving to force disclosure of information on gold and assets seized by the Ottoman Government in 1915, Bloomberg Businessweek reports.

As Armenian News-NEWS.am reported earlier, the nonprofit Center for Armenian Remembrance claimed that Armenian assets totaling $8.13 million were seized during the Armenian Genocide.  

The money was seized under “a Turkish directive to deem all Armenians’ assets abandoned”, said center’s lawyer Julia Greenberg.
