/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Parisian court imposed a symbolic fine of 1 Euro on
the editors of the French encyclopedia for producing false information on
the Armenian Genocide, PAP news agency reported. According to the court
decision, the editors the famous French encyclopedia”Le Quid” took Turkey’s
position when describing the events of 1915. The Parisian court decreed that
the verdict should be published in press. The suit was brought in 2003 by
the Armenian National Committee of France (CDCA). At the same time the
Committee representatives stressed that parallelly with the publication of
Turkey’s position the editorial staff placed the note that France recognized
the Armenian Genocide. To note, the Armenian community of France numbering
300 000 people is the most numerous one. France recognized the Armenian
Genocide in 2001, thus causing Turkey’s sharp protests.
