__NOTOC__ Lyon Armenian Genocide Memorial ((フランス語:Memorial Lyonnais du genocide des Armeniens)) was erected in 2006 in central Lyon, France in memory of the victims of the Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Empire in 1915 and the following years. The memorial is located near Place Bellecour, the main square of Lyon. It was designed by Leonardo Basmadyian and includes 36 white concrete pieces supported by stones from Armenia. Poems of Kostan Zarian are written on the concrete pieces.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.armenian-genocide.org/Memorial.155/current_category.63/offset.10/memorials_detail.html )〕 The cost of the memorial is around 180,000 euros, over two-thirds of which was provided by the Armenian community of Lyon. The rest was given by the Lyon Municipality and actively supported by Mayor Gérard Collomb.〔 ==Controversy== Members of the Turkish community of France and local Turkish organizations protested the construction of the memorial. The Council of Turkish Culture Associations in Rhone-Alpes applied to the French court to overturn construction of the memorial, however, the court upheld the decision. On March 18, 2006, about 3,000 Turks organized a protest against the memorial.〔〔〔 〕 The local branch of the opposition Union for a Popular Movement also stood against the construction of the memorial.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lyon Armenian Genocide Memorial」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
