Seven days before the commemorations of the Armenian Genocide of 1915, the steles of the Armenian Memorial set up in the town of Lyon (France), which must be inaugurated by President Jacques Chirac, were profaned with inscriptions of insults and negationists: "There never was genocide of the Armenians". This act of vandalism followed upon the consecutive racist drifts with the ultra nationalist Turkish demonstration of last 18 March. Armenian
associations and organizations (CCAF - CDCA) call the authorities of Police force to seek and sanction the persons in charge for these intolerable attacks to human dignity.
