Monday April 17, 2006, seven days before the commemorations of the
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 negationnists:

“There never was genocide of the Armenians”.

This act of vandalism followed upon the consecutive racist drifts
with the ultra nationalist Turkish demonstration of 18 March.
