French Journalist Given The "finger" During Sargsyan Visit To Lyon?

FRENCH JOURNALIST GIVEN THE “FINGER” DURING SARGSYAN VISIT TO LYON?

17:19, November 26, 2012

It seems that a minor diplomatic flap occurred on November 14, during
the visit of President Sargsyan to Lyon, France

The on-line French newspaper La Tribune de Lyon reports that the
Armenian president did not appreciate the questions posed by French
TV journalist Olivier Michel.

Michel is said to have directed some questions about corruption in
Armenia and the Yerevan government’s support of the Syrian President
Bashar al-Assad.

After the interview, Olivier Michel says he “was called out by
the Armenian translator and one of the ministers [accompanying the
president] threatened me with the finger.”

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
