Construction of the "Armenian Genocide Monument" resumed after a
month long suspension in the French city of Lyon.
A Lyon Municipality statement reads the construction resumed after a
few changes in the status of the Armenian Genocide Monument
Association of Lyon in accordance with the court's ruling.
The assembly of the monument will be complete by April 24, the
anniversary of the so-called Armenian genocide.
The Lyon Administrative Court annulled the construction of the
monument upon a French association's objection as the place where the
monument was going to be erected was a protected area declared by
UNESCO, UN's science, education and culture institution.
The court justified its verdict through ambiguities related to the
monument's future and maintenance when it was revealed that the
Armenian Association would dissolve itself upon the completion of the
construction.
