Or, so say the police. Remember, this comes hard on the heels of the proposal of a new law making it a crime to deny the Armenian genocide. Yep, and all of the sudden, I guess, some "youths" got so hungry (you know, because they don't have "jobs") that they decided the only thing they could do (a la Les Miserables) was steal a statue and melt it down to its basic element to buy a loaf of bread, right?
Yeah, eat my @$$:
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.
Jeez, sorry I get so vulgar sometimes.
