On April 28, a temporary exhibition "The Armenian Genocide: Frontpage
Coverage in the Foreign Media" was opened in the hall of the Capuchins'
church in Beirut.
The opening of the exhibition has been organized with the joint
efforts of the Central Body of Lebanon of the commemoration of the
100th Anniversary of the Armenian Genocide and the Armenian Genocide
Museum-Institute, and with the support of Beirut Municipality.
"Armash" choir of the Catholicosate of the Great House of Cilicia,
headed by Archimandrite Torgom Tonoyan, and "Krunk" choir (choirmaster:
Doctor Edward Torikian) participated in the opening of the exhibition.
The spiritual and secular leaders of the Lebanese Armenian community,
the representatives of its various community bodies and other invitees
were present at the opening of the temporary exhibition "Armenian
Genocide: Frontpage Coverage in the Foreign Media."
The exhibition includes about 70 Russian, American, Italian, French
and British periodicals of 1860 to 1922, the front pages of which
have reference to the Armenian massacres and its consequences.
Aharon Shkhrtmyan had a speech in Armenian and Arabic on behalf of the
Lebanese Central Body of the commemoration of the 100th anniversary
of the Armenian Genocide.
Primate of the Armenian diocese of Lebanon, Archbishop Gegham
Khacheryan, noted in his closing speech that 97 years after the
Armenian Genocide, the Armenian nation resolutely moves ahead to
achieve his just rights. "The just right of the Armenian people must
remain ever living in our people's memory, which the survivors passed
on to their sons. As for collective memory, it should be handed down
from generation to generation," the Primate stressed, adding that
it is our duty to keep that memory, as it is a holy bequest for us
which we are to transfer to the next generations.
During the Sunday liturgy, the visitors had an opportunity to get
acquainted with these valuable archive documents proving the fact of
the Armenian Genocide.
During 2012 the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute will hold temporary
exhibitions on other subjects relating to the Armenian Genocide in
Denmark, Sweden and the USA.
