  • ANKARA: Alleged Writings On Monument Of So-Called Armenian Genocide

    ALLEGED WRITINGS ON MONUMENT OF SO-CALLED ARMENIAN GENOCIDE IN LYONS
    Published: 30.04.2006

    Anatolian Times, Turkey
    May 1 2006

    PARIS - Representatives from Armenian associations in France have
    claimed that unidentified person or persons inscribed "there was no
    genocide" on a monument that Armenians will erect in French city of
    Lyons and the construction of which is actually underway.

    Representatives alleged that some wrote "there was no genocide" and
    "I'm Turkish and proud of it" (a motto by Mustafa Kemal Ataturk,
    the Founder of the Republic of Turkey) on the monument and accused
    Turks living in France of inscribing the motto.

    On the other hand, Turkish citizens living in Lyons told A.A
    correspondent that Armenian people in France might have written
    these words on the monument to affect the court that will render its
    verdict these days regarding a lawsuit filed to stop the construction
    of the monument.

    "There are tight security measures in the area where construction
    efforts are under-way," Turkish citizens said, noting that the area
    was monitored by cameras for 24 hours a day.

    Lyons court will render its verdict in the coming days on the fourth
    suit filed by nongovernmental organizations in the city to stop the
    erection of the monument.
