Armenian Genocide monument in Lyon desecrated

 Armenian Genocide monument in Lyon desecrated –

Lyon, France – The Armenian Genocide monument located in the Antonen Ponse Square adjacent to Lyon’s most famous Belcour Square has been desecrated once again. There are curse words and offensive remarks inscribed in different spots on the monument, as Nor Harach reports to Hayern Aysor.

The monument was placed under the sponsorship of Lyon Municipality. On the occasion of the opening ceremony of the monument in April 2006, members of denialist organizations of the district had organized a protest, which was apparently supported by those providing services to the Turks. The protesters had clashed with representatives of the movement in Lyon who were filled with indignation over the slogans that were heard during the protest.

Alongside that protest of denial, offensive remarks were inscribed on the monument.
