The Armenian community of France marked the 90th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Sevres. Nearly 250 people, including Armenian Ambassador to France Vigen Tchitetchian, Primate of the Armenian Diocese of France, Bishop Norvan Zakarian, leaders of the Armenian, Chaldean, Assyrian, Kurdish and Greek communities, attended the ceremony, freelance French journalist Jean Eckian told PanARMENIAN.Net.

Under auspices of the mayor of Sevres, M. Francois Kosciusko-Morizet, and National Association of Armenian Veterans, the mayor of the Chaville Jean-Jacques Guillet briefed on the history of the Treaty signing.

For her part, Mrs. Hilda Tchoboian, the chairperson of the European Armenian Federation, said that “the Treaty of Lausanne did not obliterate the Treaty of Sevres.”

“These are two separate documents,” she said, adding that the Treaty of Sevres was the signal of the resurrection of the Armenian nation and that the past cannot be forgotten.
