Do you have a lizonze for that monument?

PARIS (Reuters) - A bronze monument near Paris commemorating the 1915 massacre of Armenians by Ottoman Turks has been destroyed just two days after France's parliament passed a bill that would make it a crime to deny the genocide.
A local member of the Armenian church in Chaville, a town near Paris, said the heavy bronze sculpture was wrenched off its pedestal late Friday night or early Saturday morning.
"Police say it might have been stolen for the metal, but it seems too much of a coincidence that this should have happened just after parliament voted the Armenia bill," said Stephane Topalian, a member of the Armenian church council.
Ankara denies accusations that some 1.5 million Armenians perished in a systematic genocide during World War One, saying large numbers of both Christian Armenians and Muslim Turks died in a partisan conflict raging at that time.
Turkey has protested against Thursday's lower house vote, which establishes a one year prison term and 45,000 euro (30,326 pound) fine for anyone denying the massacres.
The bill still needs to be approved by the upper house Senate to become law.
Here pussy pussy :))
ping
Islamonazis (like the Democrats) want to continue their evil and ... just rewrite was happened.
Some things never change.
Now where have we seen monuments to Mohammedan savagery destroyed before?
"Here pussy pussy :))"
For one who likes to perpetuate the myth that the Turks did nothing wrong, you continue to allude with a taunt as if you could repeat that which you say you didn't do.
An interesting sidebar story for the thread:
excerpt from
http://www.ujc.org/content_display.html?ArticleID=151177
The recent $20 million settlement between a major American insurance firm and
the heirs of Armenian policyholders killed in the Armenian Genocide had its
genesis, indirectly, in the memoirs written nearly 90 years ago by
a Jewish-American diplomat.
Henry Morgenthau Sr., the German native who served as U.S. ambassador to the
Ottoman Empire during World War I, wrote in 1918 in “Ambassador
Morgenthau’s Story” about an exchange with Talaat Pasha, Turkey’s Interior
Minister and an architect of the Genocide.
“The New York Life Insurance Company and the Equitable Life of New York
had for years done considerable business among the Armenians,” Morgenthau
wrote. “One day Talaat made what was perhaps the most astonishing request
I had ever heard. ‘I wish,’ Talaat now said, ‘that you would get the
American life insurance companies to send us a complete list of their
Armenian policyholders.’
“They are practically all dead now,” victims of the Genocide, the Turkish
official told the ambassador, “and have left no heirs to collect the money.
It of course all escheats to the State. The government is the beneficiary now.”
Morgenthau lost his temper.
“ ‘You will get no such list from me,’ I said, and I got up and left him.”
