Armenian fighters who gave their lives for France was inaugurated in
Versailles, France, on May 30, on a initiative of Antoine Bagdikian,

The Khachkar was unveiled by Armenia’s Permanent Representative to
the UN in Geneva Charles Aznavour and consecrated by Bishop Norvan
Zakarian, freelance French journalist Jean Eckian told PanARMENIAN.Net

France which was among the first countries to recognize the Armenian
Genocide,” Antoine Bagdikian said.
