The French

Interesting magazine, originally uploaded by CharlesFred.

In the meantime, we hear that the French have decided to ban smoking in public places.

Also, we hear that the parliament in France will be voting on Thursday on whether to make it illegal to deny that the mass murders of the Armenians at the hands of the Ottoman Empire in 1915 was genocide. Interesting, especially as the word genocide was not invented until 1944.

Charles Aznavour, who along with Juliette Greco, is our favourite French singer, was Armenian.
