  • French Armenians Remind President Of His Promise

    FRENCH ARMENIANS REMIND PRESIDENT OF HIS PROMISE

    20:03 * 27.01.14

    On Sunday, in Trocadero Square, the Armenian community in France
    held a protest at French President Francois Hollande's official visit
    to Turkey.

    Ara Taronyan, Coordinator of the French-Armenian organizations,
    told Tert.am that France agrees to the resumption of negotiations
    over Turkey's admission to the European Union.

    "We took advantage of the occasion to remind Mr Hollande of his
    own words. He had promised Armenians to respect his own words,"
    Taronyan said.

    During his election campaign, Francois Hollande promised to do his best
    for the adoption of a law criminalizing the denial of the Armenian
    Genocide. As a result, the Armenian community was divided between
    the socialist candidate Francois Hollande and the then president
    Nicolas Sarkozy.

    On Saturday, the Armenian community held protests in Lyons and
    Marseilles.
