    MONUMENT TO AREMINAN GENOCIDE VICTIMS TO BE ERECTED IN LYONS


    LYONS, APRIL 14, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. The Armenians of Lyons
    (France) resumed construction of a monument to the victims of the
    Armenian Genocide. Last month, the construction work was forcibly
    discontinued after a number a complaints filed. In this connection the
    mayor of Lyons provided explanations saying that the court permitted
    the construction based on a number of legal amendments submitted to
    court. According to the newspaper "Marmara" (Istanbul), the monument's
    construction will be completed until April 24 - Day of Remembrance of
    the Armenian Genocide victims. To recap, the decision to erect a
    monument to the victims of the Armenian Genocide aroused discontent of
    the city's Turkish community. Some Turkish nationalists on March 18
    even staged a protest, which did not deteriorate into clashes with
    members of the Armenian community only thanks to police intervention.
