Missak Manouchian and his wife Mélinée as well as 23 of his comrades in arms enter the Pantheon in Paris this Wednesday, February 21. 80 years after their death, this event is France's ultimate recognition of these symbols of foreign resistance in France.
Some 2,000 people were invited to the ceremony, including Communist Party officials, Armenian officials and many representatives of the Armenian community. The presence of Marine Le Pen, invited as head of the National Rally group to the Assembly as during previous national tributes, is controversial.
