    ARMENIAN MONUMENT IN SQUARE OF LYONS LIKELY TO BE MOVED TO SOME OTHER PLACE

    LYONS, APRIL 23, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. The fate of the
    Armenian monument erected in one of Lyons' squares has become
    a subject of debate between the city municipality and judicial
    authorities. Remaining faithful to his promise to Armenians, the mayor
    of Lyons Gerard Collomb allowed to erect an Armenian monument in one
    of the city's squares. However, members of the union on preservation
    of the historical nature of the city reminded that this square is on
    the UNESCO list of squares subject to preservation so no changes can
    be made here and the Armenian monument has to be removed. The union
    members applied to Lyons administrative court that ruled the Armenian
    monument to be removed from the square. The fact that the complaints
    against the monument have been sustained does not mean that it has
    to be destroyed.

    In all likelihood the monument will be moved to some other place.
