Tens of visitors leave notes in the Commemoration Book of the Armenian
Genocide Museum (AGMI) Institute every day.
Authors of the display of the AGMI have managed to create an
atmosphere, where every visitor feels as if he has been a witness of
the Armenian Genocide. The Museum Institute constantly enriches its
collection, which doesn't leave anyone indifferent.
AGMI Deputy Director Arpine Bablumyan says the notes left in the
Commemoration Book are very different. Here one can see words of both
revenge and apology. The Book has more than ten issues, all of which
are kept in the archive.
The notes mostly call for recognition and condemnation of the
Genocide. It's worth mentioning that the crime is condemned by
almost every Turkish visitor. Many of them even apologize for the
crime perpetrated by their ancestors. They say it's the best place
to learn about history or the history as we present it.
The Museum Institute has a separate Book for high-ranking officials.
The AGMI website also posts articles about the visits of high-ranking
guests, the photos and the translation of their notes.
