ArmInfo. The French TV channel Arte France, aired a report on anti-government protests in Turkey on its program "28 minutes," which featured a map of the region without Armenia. This caused a scandal on social networks.
Deputy Director of the authoritative French magazine Le Figaro Jean-Christophe Buisson posted on his Twitter (X) "I do not believe for a second that this was a deliberate action on the part of "28 minutes" on Arte France or an action of the Azerbaijani television lobby, but this mistake is very painful for the eyes and the heart: Armenia has simply been erased from the map of the Caucasus. The dream of Erdogan and Aliyev...".
The Coordinating Council of Armenian Organizations in France (CCAF) also responded to the situation stating: "110 years after the Armenian Genocide, Arte France is making the pan-Turkic dream come true and simply erasing Armenia from the world map! But where did this map used by "28 Minutes" come from? This is unacceptable. It is necessary to apologize and correct the situation!"
