Hungary: Armenian Genocide Memorial Desecrated
Blogian reports that a monument to the Armenian Genocide has been desecrated in Budapest. The khachkar (stone cross) was defaced with offensive graffiti on 24 April 2008, the day when Armenians worldwide remembered the 1915 massacres and deportations.
A penis was painted across the cross on the monument, a 2000 replica of an ancient Armenian cross-stone (khachkar). The word “fuck” was written twice at the bottom of the cross-stone, while the writing on the back of the monument was painted over. The word “Lie” and “Fuck” were also written on the back of the cross-stone. PanArmenian.net only reported the “lie.”
