    Armenian tribute cross smashed
    _Jan 28 2008_ (http://icwales.icnetwork.co.uk/news/wales-news/20 08/01/28/)
    by Martin Shipton, Western Mail
    A MEMORIAL stone commemorating an estimated one-and-a-half million Armenians
    massacred by Ottoman Turks in 1915 was desecrated in Cardiff at the weekend.
    Organisers of a National Holocaust Day event discovered yesterday morning the
    slate cross on the monument by the Temple of Peace in Cathays Park had been
    smashed with a hammer.
    Many Turks object to the description of the 1915 massacres as a holocaust,
    and yesterday a single Turkish heckler with a megaphone sought to drown out
    prayers and speeches at the desecrated monument attended by members of Wales'
    small Armenian community.
