Activists threw buckets of blood in the lobby of the building and manifested their anger at the State denial that exists in Turkey since 1915 on the issue of genocide. Holding placards with the inscriptions “Justice for the Armenian people”, “Turkey out Kessab” or “Justice, repairs! “The group is currently conducting a peaceful sitting in front of the building, 102 Avenue of Elysium fields.

“We will not give up, even after 100!” They chanted in heart. To symbolize their determination to stay on site to expose the responsibility of the Turkish state in the genocide of their people, young people chained themselves to each other, wearing the T-shirts with slogans such as “Turkish state guilty” and “Erdogan outside Kessab”.

Indeed, in recent weeks, jihadists from Turkey, attacked Kessab, a village in Syria which was a haven for families who survived the deportations of 1915. Logistic support Turkey in the willingness of ethnic cleansing practiced against Armenians Kessab is further evidence of the continuity of the Turkish state with his criminal past to remove the Armenian presence of its historic home.

At 1 year of the centennial commemoration of the Armenian Genocide, the Nor Seround came without violence, to remind the Turkish state the legitimate claims of the Armenian people due to the genocide which he was subjected. This page of history can not be turned when the national Armenian property have been returned, spoliation compensated the damage repaired and restored the dignity of the Armenians, this according to the principle of justice, the only guarantee of peace sincere and lasting.

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.

The president of the UMP group in the National Assembly is committed to a question the government on this issue and to invite his alter ego of the Senate to do the same. Participants in the meeting expressed the need for clarification of the position of France on the drama and issues.
