  • ANKARA: Armenian-French Protester Throws Paint On Turkish Ambassador

    ARMENIAN-FRENCH PROTESTER THROWS PAINT ON TURKISH AMBASSADOR

    BGN News, Turkey
    March 2 2015

    A French citizen of Armenian descent threw paint on Turkey's ambassador
    to Paris at a conference on Monday.

    Turkish Ambassador Hakkı Akil was the target of a one-man protest
    on Monday when a French citizen of Armenian descent threw paint on
    him at a conference.

    Akil was speaking at the "Laicism in Turkey and France" conference
    at Paris' Descartes University Law School when an unidentified person
    approached his podium and heaved paint at him.

    Detained by the audience and security, it was determined that the
    protester was not a student. The ambassador resumed the rest of his
    speech after the incident and left the conference.

    Answering reporters' questions afterwards, Akil pointed out similar
    attacks had taken place at tourism offices in Paris and Marseilles. He
    added that "it wouldn't be surprising" if such attacks increased as
    the centennial of the 1915 events approached.
