    ARMENIAN GENOCIDE MONUMENT IN LYON DESECRETED

    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 on
    the monument, Nouvelles d'Armenie reports.

    The opening of the monument in April 2006 was protested by denialist
    groups, apparently sponsored by Turks. The protesters then clashed
    with representatives of the movement in Lyon, who were filled with
    indignation over the slogans that were heard during the protest. Along
    with the protest, offensive remarks were inscribed on the monument.

    Further desecration ahead of the Armenian Genocide Centennial
    commemoration ceremonies goes to show that the criminals intend
    to continue due to lack of a law criminalizing denial, Nouvelles
    d'Armenie writes.
