/PanARMENIAN.Net/ “Ankara will never be accepted to the EU. France will
oppose that. The French have not forgotten the monstrous Genocide and
will never forgive Turkey annexing part of Armenia,” stated famous
French composer, arranger, conductor and pianist Michel Legrand. In

to France and married my grandmother – a Frenchwoman. Thus, I am a
quarter Armenian,” the Yerkir newspaper
