ARMENIAN MEMORIAL IN LYON TO BE REPLACED
The question of the Armenian memorial, constituted in one of the squares of Lyon, France, has became the theme of hot arguments between Lyon city administration and judicial authorities. Mayor of Lyon Gerard Colombe, being faithful to the Armenians, approved the construction of the Armenian memorial in one of the squares of the city.
The union for preservation of the city's native architecture protested against that decision reminded that the square is under the protection of UNESCO and therefore nothing can be constructed there. They demanded to replace the memorial and the Court of Lyon satisfied their demand. "Noyyan Tapan" news agency informs that most probably the memorial shall be moved to another spot in the city.
