    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Armenian Genocide monument in Cardiff was
    desecrated on January 27 morning, just before the ceremony in
    commemoration of Holocaust victims and slain Agos editor Hrant Dink,
    independent French journalist Jean Eckian told PanARMENIAN.Net.

    The ornate Armenian Cross on the monument was smashed by unknown
    persons with a hammer, which was left at the scene of the crime. The
    Armenian community called on the UK government and Turkish Embassy
    to condemn the act of vandalism.

    "The hammer with fingerprints was taken to police. But I don't think
    that the vandals will be found," John Torosyan, representative of
    the Armenian community of Wales, told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. "We
    will reconstruct the monument," he added.
