BREAKING:
The US Supreme Court on October 31 rejected Turkey’s bid to shut down lawsuits in U.S. courts stemming from the violent attack against peaceful protestors at a demonstration in Washington more than five years ago that left the protesters badly beaten.

According to the Associated Press, the Supreme Court’s action allows the lawsuits to proceed. In the lawsuits, protesters claim they were brutally punched and kicked, cursed at and greeted with slurs and throat-slashing gestures.

One woman slipped in and out of consciousness and has suffered seizures, and others reported post-traumatic stress, depression, concussions and nightmares, according to the complaints.

"We're witnessing, at long last, the ending of the immunity that Turkey has long enjoyed in Washington - the free pass it has been granted by our State Department to abuse its own citizens,

attack its neighbors, deny its crimes, and even assault Americans here on U.S. soil," said ANCA Executive Director Aram Hamparian (@ANCA_DC). "Today's court decision holds profound legal meaning - for the perpetrators and victims of the Sheridan Circle attack -

while also, in a broader sense, marking powerful progress in holding Turkey to account for its violence and aggression."

Meanwhile, in its high court filing, the US Justice Department stated that Turkey can be sued in these circumstances, concluding that lower courts were correct in finding that Turkey does not have legal immunity.

On May 16, 2017, a group of peaceful demonstrators protesting Turkish President Erdogan’s official visit to the United States, were attacked by pro-Erdogan groups—including members of Erdogan’s security team—at the Sheridan Circle near the residence of the Turkish Amb to the U.S.

The demonstration, which began at Lafayette Square at noon, was organized by a coalition of organizations, including the ANCA & the American Hellenic Council.

Several different groups, which included representatives from the Armenian, Greek, Kurdish, Yezidi, and Assyrian communities, participated in the protest, while President Erdogan met with U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House.

If confirmed, the statement leaves a lot of unanswered questions.

The statement stresses respecting one another's sovereign territory. Does this mean Azerbaijan will withdraw from Armenian borders?

- The question remains why Artsakh is not mentioned.

- There is no mention of the release of POWs and captives held by Azerbaijan that was stressed in the November 9 agreement. Azerbaijan still holds more than 30 Armenian POWs captive.

What is the current status of Armenian POWs in Azerbaijan?

- On Saturday, Pashinyan stated he would discuss the possibility of extending the length of time of peacekeepers being in Artsakh, but the statement stresses the good work that is done, but no time extension.

Does this mean Russia did not agree or was it not discussed?

Pashinyan has already arrived in Tehran.

He was greeted at the airport by Iranian Vice President Salat Mortazavi.

Summing up the main points from yesterday's trilateral meeting:

Putin stated that the most important issue at hand is the demarcation and delimitation of borders.

This was one of the main topics during yesterday's negotiations. Putin stated that Russia is ready to provide the maps of the General Staff of the Army of the Soviet Union - as they consider them to be the most accurate maps.

Russian Ambassador to Armenia Sergey Koprykin responded to Aliyev's claims that the "Karabakh" issue is already history stating that Russia's opinion should be left to the next generation when conditions are formed under a fair solution that is acceptable to all.
