PARIS, APRIL 21, ARMENPRESS: Armenian president Robert Kocharian who arrived in Paris yesterday on a working visit and president Jacques Chirac will commemorate the victims of the 1915 Armenian genocide on April 22 evening. They will place a wreath at a monument to prominent Armenian composer Komitas in downtown Paris, symbolizing the Armenian genocide.
France is among those countries which officially recognized the Armenian genocide. The event is thought to become an important diplomatic move since it will be Chirac’s first official commemoration of the genocide victims.
The move is also expected to become a message to Turkey to remind it that it has to come to terms with its past and assume the responsibility for the first genocide of the 20-th century.
