20 October: About 30 believers attempted to stage a protest against
the adoption by the French parliament’s lower chamber of a draft bill
criminalizing the denial of the “Armenian genocide” in 1915.
The protesters chanting “God is Great!” and other slogans, including
anti-French ones, were dispersed by police officers. Worshippers at
the Cuma mosque and law-enforcers clashed during the protest. None
of worshippers was arrested.
At the end of the protest, an appeal to the French embassy was
read out.
