The book about Turkey ignores the tragic events of 1915. Instead it presents lying statements of the Turkish side. On behalf of Alex Govchian, the Coordinator of the Armenian Unions of France, the Armenian Community of France and local Armenian unions a letter was addressed to the publication. It says that an article titled "Defeat of Armenia", which was published by "Hachette" in a book titled "Blue Guidebook" is an indirect denial of the Armenian Genocide. Authors of the letter demand to change the above-mentioned article. "We'd like to inform that we do not share views that deny the Armenian Genocide", was the answer from "Hachette". Representatives of the publication assured that in the new book due to be published in 2009 the above-mentioned article will undergo correction. In particular, this disputable article says that after joining together in the World War I Armenians have killed a lot of Turks and Kurds and just because of this the Ottoman Government organized mass killings of Armenians in Van in 1915, "Yerkir" newspaper reports.
