A  Los Angeles Federal District Court has given Ankara until August 19 to present its case in a suit brought by Armenians seeking compensation for lands that once belonged to their ancestors and subsequently used for the Incirlik Air Base .

The base is located five miles from the city of Adana on the Mediterranean Sea Coast. The U.S. Air Force and the Turkish Air Force are the primary users of the base.

In December 2010, Yeghiayan filed a suit against the Turkish government and two Turkish banks, the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey and Ziraat Bankası, for seized Armenian assets seized in the region of Adana.

The plaintiffs are demanding $63.9 million   dollars as compensation for the 49.5 hectares of property seized during the 1915 Genocide.
