/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The monument to the Armenian Genocide victims that
was desecrated in Lyons assumed its former appearance. The vandalism
aroused the indignation not only of the Armenian but also of the
French official circles and the authorities decreed to protect the
monument. Guard groups and four policemen watch the monument around
the clock. Besides, the city authorities placed video cameras thanks
to which the situation around the monument is always kept under
control.

As it was reported earlier, French Minister of interior Nicholas
Sarkozy condemned the desecration of the monument and said the
criminals should be found and punished.

Official unveiling of the ceremony will take place April 24. The
French President is expected to attend the event, reported Hurriyet
Turkish newspaper.
