Under the pressure of the Armenian lobbyist organizations, the American insurance company has agreed to pay $20 million to the descendants of Armenians insured by the company in the Ottoman Turkey on the eve of the First World War. The absolute majority of them fell victims of the Genocide. However only those who managed to present documents about the death of their relatives - clients of the company, received insurance. ''The New York Life'' refused to open its archives and publish the lists of its clients.
