French Armenians are shocked by the decision of the Armenian parliament against recognition of the genocide of Assyrians perpetrated by the Ottoman Empire in the beginning of the 20th century.

The Armenians of France cannot understand the decision of the Armenian parliament to stop a legitimate request, journalist Jean Eckian told PanARMENIAN.Net.

Several communes of France recognized the genocide of Assyrians while the Assyrian population in France participates in the events commemorating the Armenian Genocide.
