VERSAILLES, Paris (PanArmenian)—An Armenian cross-stone will be erected on May 30 in Versailles as a memorial commemorating the victims of the Armenian Genocide and the countless men and women who resisted and defended against the Turkish onslaught.
The cross-stone was commissioned with the sponsorship of the President of Armenian Veterans Association Antoine Bagdikian and the Mayor of Versailles Francois de Mazieres.
According to French-Armenian journalist Jean Eckian, the cross-stone will be unveiled at a special ceremony presided over by Armenia’s Ambassador to Switzerland Charles Aznavour. The event will be accompanied by an art exhibition titled, “Missak Manouchian and Armenians in Resistance.”

Now if only America could acknowledge historical fact without preconditions.
Bravo France and the French people. I have not met any Frenchman/woman who does not know who the Armenians are and their tragic history. Armenians are very much respected in France . U.K. should recognise the Armenian Genocide fully instead of bending to the Turkish pressure.Shame!
