ArmInfo. From now on one can make virtual excursions in the Armenian
Genocide Museum-Institute. Director of the Museum Hayk Demoyan
said at a press-conference, Monday, the visitors to the web-site
www.genocide-museum.am will have a chance to see the exposition
and lay virtual flowers at the Memorial dedicated to the Armenian
Genocide victims.
The official web-site of the Museum has a total of 250 pages of
information about the first genocide of the 20th century (memories
of witnesses, documents, etc.). There are also some photos which
were considered to be documentary proofs of the tragedy, however,
the recent research denied their "implication" in the Armenian
Genocide. Demoyan said that these photos should be used in media
as little as possible so as not to give grounds to Turkey to blame
Armenia for distorting historic facts. Up to 600 people visit the web-
site daily. According to Demoyan, in April 2008 the number of the
visitors totalled 12 thsd. At the moment, the web-site is presented
in the English version. It is expected to work in Armenian, Russian
and Turkish in 2008. To note, the web-site was officially launched
in June 2007.
