/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Thanks to the efforts of the Armenian community of
France famous French publication "Hachette" will correct the book,
which includes an article that denies the Armenian Genocide. The book
about Turkey ignores the tragic events of 1915.

Instead it presents lying statements of the Turkish side.

On behalf of Alex Govchian, the Coordinator of the Armenian Unions of
France, the Armenian Community of France and local Armenian unions
a letter was addressed to the publication. It says that an article
titled "Defeat of Armenia", which was published by "Hachette" in a
book titled "Blue Guidebook" is an indirect denial of the Armenian
Genocide. Authors of the letter demand to change the above-mentioned
article. "We’d like to inform that we do not share views that deny the
Armenian Genocide", was the answer from "Hachette". Representatives
of the publication assured that in the new book due to be published
in 2009 the above-mentioned article will undergo correction.

In particular, this disputable article says that after joining together
in the World War I Armenians have killed a lot of Turks and Kurds and
just because of this the Ottoman Government organized mass killings
of Armenians in Van in 1915, "Yerkir" newspaper reports.
