Monday April 17, 2006, seven days before the commemorations of the
Genocide of 1915, the steles of the Armenian Memorial set up in the
town of Lyon (France), which must be inaugurated by President Jacques
Chirac, were profaned with inscriptions of insults.
"Following the official opening of the memorial on April 24 a criminal
case may be launched to reveal and punish the guilty," Director of
the European Armenian Federation Hilda Tchoboyan said in her phone
talk with "Radiolur" correspondent.
The vandalism against the memorial to the Armenian Genocide in Lyon
escalated a great noise in the Armenian community.
"Yesterday representatives of the community invited a press conference,
attended by a great number of journalists," Hilda Tchoboyan told.
By the way, the Socialist Deputies of the French Parliament brought a
new suggestion to add a point on "Punishing Genocide Deniers" in the
Law on the Armenian Genocide.
