Protests Against Armenian-Turkish Protocols Greet Sargsyan in Paris
Armenia’s president has started his tour of Armenian communities
worldwide amid violent protests from members of a diaspora angry over
plans to establish ties with Turkey, reports the Associated Press.
French riot police are fighting back belligerent demonstrators in
Paris. A few dozen shouted "No!" and punched riot shields before a
planned event Friday with Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan.
Police dragged several protesters away kicking and screaming. Sargsyan
appeared only for a few minutes; he placed a wreath by the Genocide
Memorial statue, then promptly left.
