LYON MONUMENT TO ARMENIAN GENOCIDE VICTIMS BROUGHT TO FORMER
APPEARANCE AND TAKEN UNDER STRICT CONTROL
LYON, APRIL 21, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. Turkish and French
notes left by unknown evil-doers on the monument to the Armenian
Genocide victims erected in the French city of Lyon have already been
cleaned, and the monument was brought to its former appearance. The
Istanbul "Marmara" daily informs about this, quoting the information
of the Turkish "Huriet" newspaper. Distortion of the monument caused
indignation not only within the Armenian but the French official
cirles as well, and the authorities decided to take the monument under
control. Armenians of Lyon formed groups for guarding the monument and
will keep the monument under 24-hours control. Besides, the Lyon Mayor
Office instructed four policemen two of who must guard the inner
parts, other two must guard the outer parts of the monument. The city
authorities also placed video cameras owing to which the territory
will always be under control. Nicolas Sarkozy, the Minister of
Interior of France, condemned the attack towards the Armenian monument
and said that similar assaults are inadmissible. He emphasized that
the criminals must probably be found out and punished. Such attacks
means usage of the policy of hatred and refusal, Sarkozy
said. Respoding the question relating to the resolution on the
Armenian Genocide, the Minister stated that France supports
Armenians. To recap, the monument to the Armenian Genocide victims
will officially open on April 24.
