the Armenian Genocide.
The architects of the Catholicosate are invited to complete the
following tasks:
1.Renovation of the Statue symbolizing the post-genocide revival of the
Armenian people (Bikfaya, Lebanon). The bronze Statue was prepared to
mark the 50th anniversary of the Genocide in 1965. The land surrounding
the statue will be expanded, a huge map of the genocide will be carved
on a new wall to be erected and a small chapel will be built next to
the statue.
2.Genocide Museum at the Birds Nest Orphanage in Byblos (Lebanon). The
oldest building on the campus of the orphanage, which has been
classified as a historical monument, will become the site of the new
museum. The museum will display documents, pictures, artifacts and
other personal objects of the survivors of the Genocide committed
by Ottoman Turkey in 1915. The institution already has the personal
belongings of the orphans, who were brought to Lebanon by Danish
Missionaries soon after the Genocide.
3.The Martyrs' Chapel in Antelias (Lebanon). The Chapel was build in
1936 and later renovated in 1993 and 2007. It will undergo a total
renovation in preparation for commemorative prayers in 2015.
