Frenchmen's confessions of shame best assessment of Charlie Hebdo actions — Kremlin

"Our embassy in Paris and we here are getting many letters from ordinary French people who write they feel shamed over the actions of their fellow-countrymen," Kremlin spokesman says

MOSCOW, November 12. /TASS/. Russian authorities are getting letters from rank-and-file Frenchmen who write they feel ashamed for the cartoons published by the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo on tragic crash of the Russian A321 jet over the Sinai Peninsula, the Kremlin press secretary Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Thursday.

"We can hardly say anything more than we said several days ago," Peskov said. "Our embassy in Paris and we here are getting many letters from ordinary French people who write they feel shamed over the actions of their fellow-countrymen and as for ourselves, we can’t say more."

As he commented last week on the first cartoon Charlie Hebdo had published in connection with the A321 tragedy, he called it ‘sacrilege’.
