French Socialists visit the Armenian Genocide Memorial
13:58 05.09.2014
Members of the Socialist Group of the French National Assembly, who
have arrived in Armenia to mark the 100th anniversary of the death of
Jean-Jaurès (1859-1914), a French politician, Socialist and a friend
of Armenians, visited the Armenian Genocide Memorial today.
The delegation lead by Bruno Le Roux, President of the Socialist Group
in French National Assembly, laid a wreath at the memorial to the
Armenian Genocide victims and paid tribute to the memory of the
victims with a minute of silence.
Also, the French delegation visited the Armenian Genocide
Museum-Institute to familiarize with the temporary exhibition.
The delegation comprises Françoise Dumas, Luc Carvounas, Rene Rouquet,
Pascal Popelin, Erwan Binet, Nathalie Nieson, Serge Franceschi, Mourad
Papazian, Harout Mardirossian, Alexis Govciyan, Richard Ananian, Jirig
Gharapetian, Dikran Tchertchian, and Vartan Kaprielian.
On 1897, Jaurès was the only one to raise his voice in the House of
Representatives to denounce the massacre of Armenians. He famously
said: "Humanity cannot live with the corpse of a murdered people in
his basement."
