French Prime Minister Manuel Valls is going to deliver a speech at an Armenian Genocide commemoration event set to take place in the Canada Square of Paris, Nouvelles d’Armenie says.
President Francois Hollande was earlier reported to be planning a trip to Armenia to take part the April 24 centennial events in capital Yerevan.
Marie-Louise Ericsen says
Wonderful, the world is finally waking up to what has happened and continues to happen. Allowing any nation to rewrite history and bully others as Turkey does, is a serious danger. Turkey cannot admit what they’ve done with the Armenians (the original inhabitants of that land for thousands of years) as to admit it will mean they would have to acknowledge that they have stolen the Armenian Culture of foods, music, silk weaving, art and stolen whole industry’s from the Armenians and in fact 80% of them are indeed mixed Armenian decent! So called proud Turks (brutal mongols) can never admit they plagiarized a whole culture, so they viciously deny it and threaten all those that know history. They donate millions to American and Canadian universities to rewrite history and teach away the Genocide and they pay the GOP/Republicans for the same. The Kingdom of Armenian goes back 5 thousand years. Look at any biblical map and see where turkey now is, was once Armenia. The barbarian Turkic tribes stole not only a nation, but a whole culture and renamed everything into their own language and into their Islamic faith. They threaten us because we have military bases in Turkey, but as they are not and never have been our ally or any western nations ally and fund ISIS etc. We should stop paying them billions and simply move our NATO bases into another place like Northern Iraq? We certainly do not need a brutal nation like Turkey dictating to the west!
