Barber shop visits are normally tame affairs, but today involved a rather heavy conversation with my hair cutter of choice in Mile End.
The 67-year-old Greek Cypriot, who is normally very quiet, today opened a conversation by asking if I had seen the news last week that France had condemned Turkey’s genocide against the Greeks. I hadn’t, although a web search reveals the French Senate voted to criminalise denying the mass killing of Armenians early last century was genocide.
