Monday July 3, 2006, Stéphane/armenews
Within the framework of the debate “Transmission of the Memory: assessment and prospects” which was held Wednesday June 28, 2006 with the seat of the Great East of France, Jean-Michel Quillardet, Main Grand of the Great East of France declared: “The Armenians were victims of a genocide. There was a crime of genocide. There was a genocide (...). It is not a question to come to a conclusion about the History: racism, the anti-semitism and xenophobia are offences and crimes. When the legislator seizes the Armenian genocide and of the crimes committed against the Armenian people and that it intends to say that it is a crime of genocide, it is in its role”.
The Large Master of the Great East of France then stressed that, although having good relationship with his brothers of Turkey, he says to them: “The only question which installation is to know if Turkey corresponds in its bases to our humanistic project, if Turkey recognizes its responsibility in this crime for genocide. If the Turkish people recognize this responsibility, then it will be in the bases of this European project.”
This debate, organized by Alexis GOVCIYAN, President and Alain KREMENETZKY, Délégué General of EUROPE of the MEMORY, during the evening, had allowed inter alia hearing testimony moving by Raphaël ESRAIL, Secrétaire General of the Union of the Deportees of Auschwitz, and the effective intervention of Macaw TORANIAN, Directeur of News of Arménie magazine.
