    ARMENPRESS
    18 September, 2012
    YEREVAN

    YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 18, ARMENPRESS: On the occasion of the Azerbaijani
    President Ilham Aliyev's official visit to France the Coordination
    Council of Armenian Organizations of France (CCAF) held a protest
    action at the local Armenian Church in Marseilles against the pardoning
    of the assassin Ramil Safarov. As reported by Armenpress, quoting
    Nouvelles d'Armenie, the action was attended by about 200 people,
    including political and public figures. The Head of the Coordination
    Council of Armenian Organizations of France Elian Kazanjian (Marseille
    chapter) announced that the President of France Francois Hollande
    will be transferred a letter signed by a number of officials, which
    appeals to make clear actions to establish justice in the issue of
    the Azerbaijani assassin Ramil Safarov's punishment, who axe-murdered
    the Armenian officer Gurgen Margaryan.

    The action was attended by the initiator of the bill criminalizing
    the negation of the Armenian Genocide, Deputy of the French Senate
    Valerie Buaye, Deputy Mayor of Marseilles Roland Blum, members of
    the Marseilles Town Hall Council Didier Parakyan, Frolans Mars, etc.

    The member of the Marseilles Town Hall Council, member of the
    Coordination Council of Armenian Organizations of France Pascal
    Shamasyan announced that their struggle would be long-term. "We
    are appealing to the defenders of human rights and protectors of
    democracy to express their anger concerning the incident and condemn
    the Azerbaijan's actions", - said Shamasyan.

    On September 18 at 18:00 local time in Paris a large-scale rally will
    be held in front of the Azerbaijani Embassy and the Armenians will
    express their indignation towards the Azerbaijan's policy and the
    decision to receive Aliyev in France. Armenpress was earlier informed
    about it by the Head of the French Office of the "Armenian Cause"
    of France Hrach Varzhapetyan. France is a country of human rights,
    justice and democracy and it should not receive the Azerbaijani
    President after the murderer Ramil Safarov's release in a country like
    France. "This time we should express our discontent more franticly.

    The action will be attended by many Armenians, who will act with
    united behaviour and trait", - said Hrach Varzhapetyan.
