VIRTUAL MUSEUM OF ARMENIAN GENOCIDE CAN BE UPLOADED TO SMARTPHONES AND TABLETS AT END-2014
YEREVAN, April 23. /ARKA/. Virtual Museum of Armenian Genocide
and virtual Tsitsernakaberd Genocide Memorial will be available in
applications for smartphones and tablets by the end of the next year,
Arman Zaqaryan, Director of Armenian affiliate with Memco Inc, told
reporters on Tuesday.
Memco Inc. has designed and gifted to Museum of Genocide in Yerevan
a virtual Armenian Genocide Museum and Tsitsernakaberd Memorial,
dedicating it to the 98th anniversary of the first genocide in the
past century.
"Users of smartphones and tablets can start using the virtual museum
by the end of 2014. The application will be working on Android and
iOS systems," Zaqaryan said.
Thus, it will be possible to have a virtual tour around Museum of
Genocide, get familiar with the documents, photos and other evidence
related to the Armenian Genocide, as well as "lay" flowers at the
"eternal fire."
"For a virtual tour one has to follow http://www.genocide-museum.am
link and download the application. Then, the virtual museum and complex
will open for the visitors who can choose day or night mode," he added.
Anna Petrosyan, a press officer for Memco Inc, said the online museum
is the best option to visit the memorial for those who can't do so
due to health issues or residence place.
"There are many people who can't be in Yerevan on April 24 for many
reasons, and out project can help them to express their feelings. In
addition, the online museum is another opportunity to remind the
world about the Genocide, the Armenian tragedy which happened in the
Ottoman Empire in 1915," Petrosyan said.
According to Memco Inc. head, Karen Melikian, the idea of creating a
virtual Genocide museum came to him when living in the United States,
he could not attend every year the Tsitsernakaberd Genocide Memorial
in Yerevan.
The Armenian Genocide was the first genocide committed in the XX
century. Turkey deeps denying the fact of the Genocide and painfully
reacts to any critics coming from the Western world.
The Armenian Genocide was recognized by Russia, Germany, France,
Netherlands, Vatican, Lithuania, Slovakia, Sweden, Venezuela, Lebanon,
France, 42 U.S. states, as well as by the parliaments of Greece,
Cyprus, Argentina, Belgium, National Council of Switzerland, Canada,
Poland, Italy, other countries as well as the European Parliament,
the World Council of Churches. -0-
