    A khachkar commemorating the victims of the Armenian Genocide and those
    Armenian fighters who gave their lives for France was inaugurated in
    Versailles, France, on May 30, on a initiative of Antoine Bagdikian,
    President of Armenian Veterans Association, and Francois de Mazieres,
    Mayor of Versailles.

    The Khachkar was unveiled by Armenia's Permanent Representative to
    the UN in Geneva Charles Aznavour and consecrated by Bishop Norvan
    Zakarian, freelance French journalist Jean Eckian told PanARMENIAN.Net

    "We are not here to seek revenge but ask for justice. We thank
    France which was among the first countries to recognize the Armenian
    Genocide," Antoine Bagdikian said.
