Valerie Boyer MP Marseille and Philippe Meunier du Rhône member also participated in this meeting devoted to the fate of the Armenians and also the concern of Christian minorities in the region. The Delegation of CCAF has focused on the role of the Turkish authorities in the attempt of ethnic cleansing against Kessab a particularly symbolic place because it represented the last surviving Armenian in range of Turkey.
700 Armenian families, survivors of the 1915 genocide, who had observed a strict neutrality in the Syrian conflict, and who only wanted to live in peace, have indeed had to abandon their ancestral village to escape the armed forces assault Islamists supported and manipulated by Ankara. These terrorist groups now occupy their homes, desecrate their churches and rob them of their property.
The Delegation noted that the CFC these events shall be dubbed anti-Armenian exacerbated racism which, other things being equal, belongs to the same fanaticism as that presided 1915 genocide criminal ideology. Logic that is also found in the state professed denial by Turkey and which has lead to Kessab on a new outlet.
Faced with this criminal insanity, which is today through the worst Islamist armed arms in the Syrian conflict organizations, CCAF delegation has called for an awareness and a burst of Western democracies, especially the forces involved in the defense of human rights.
