"We have more than 100 000 names 3 months after the start of the work
on the vault. Unfortunately, we are a bit late in terms of initiating
the process as almost all the people who survived the Genocide are
dead now", said the Director of the Archive.
He added that not only the name of the killed person but his date
and place of birth will be available in the e-vault.
According to Amatuni Virabyan, toward the 100the anniversary of the
Armenian Genocide, the Archive will publish the 4th and 5th volumes of
the "Armenian Genocide in Ottoman Empire: Evidences of the Survived"
collection. The collected articles will be translated into English
and Turkish at the expense of the funds from the copies of the volumes.
Besides, the Archive initiated the creation of mono-stories of the
survived people. The Archive will also publish about 25 thousand
documents on the material and cultural losses of Armenians as a result
of the Genocide in the nearest future.
