YEREVAN (YERKIR) – In its literary supplement, the French newspaper
Le Monde has covered publications on the 90th anniversary of the
Armenian Genocide, Armenpress reported.

The introduction says that a few years ago intellectuals and
historians had different views on the massacres committed by the
Turks in 1915. The issue was not the events but how they should be
qualified. Bernard Lewis, an American professor of the Middle Eastern,
who had denied the Genocide in 1993, was condemned two years later of
“fault” by a Paris court.

The Armenian Genocide is officially recognized in France. The
paper also has covered works by Armenian and foreign scholars on
the Genocide.
