ArmInfo.The attack on the Cultural Center of the Armenian Church in Marseilles is a matter of deep concern. This is stated in the message of the Armenian Embassy in France.
"We confirm that any act of hatred based on ethnicity should be prohibited, such as the recent Turkish- Azerbaijani attacks on Armenians and their heritage," the Armenian Embassy stressed.
Earlier it became known that unknown persons fired at the cultural center "St. Sahak and St. Mesrop" in Marseille. The incident took place on January 24 at about 18:40.
The police visited and examined the scene. The bullet pierced the window on the second floor where the piano lesson was taking place. There are no casualties. In connection with the incident, the management of the center filed a complaint with the police. It should be noted that more than 250 children study at the center.
It is worth noting that, months earlier, during the hostilities in the zone of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, similar incidents were recorded in Berlin, San Francisco, Paris and Desin. Members of the Turkish radical group "Gray Wolves", whose activities were banned in France, were involved in these actions.
