Armenian Genocide
AFTER THE ANTI-ARMENIAN RALLIES IN LION
Prefect Jean Pierre Lacroix of Rouen, France, made a
statement on the ban of rallies of Turkish
organizations denying the Armenian Genocide. When the
Armenian Association of France accused Lacroix of
failing to stop the April 24 rally against erecting a
monument to the Armenian Genocide victims, the Rouen
perfect stated that the law did not allow him to do
so. Today he has the right to ban the rallies in view
of the last precedent. “I would not approve of such
rallies,” he said.
