/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Two days after the vote of the
French Parliament adopting the text of the bill
penalizing the Armenian Genocide, the memorial set up
in the town of Chaville, close to Versailles, was
deteriorated in the night from the 13 to October 14.
In fact, two plates engraved in bronze, dedicated to
the victims of the Armenian Genocide were torn off
from the base, forming a case in the background of the
work of art. The police undertook an investigation
immediately, independent French journalists Jean
Ackian told PanARMENIAN.Net. The monument itself
consists of a tangle of the letters of the Armenian
alphabet, which form a cross in the center.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
