Five young Armenians were bitten by Turks Monday in Valance, France,
Liberty radio station reports.
The fight was broken out on national ground. Four of the five were
taken to hospital with injuries.
French Armenians opened a point for collection of signatures against
Turkey’s likely EU membership. Two dozen Turks reportedly made
offending remarks toward Armenians, then, threw bottles at them and
eventually resorted to violence.
Armenians complained about that to the law enforcement. Instead of
interfering, the police advised to close the point.
This is the first time Armenians’ sentiments have expressed this way,
Liberty radio station says.
