COLLECTION OF PERIOD MAPS ATTEST TO WILSONIAN ARMENIA
An historic map shows Armenia's border with Turkey
YEREVAN (Armenpress)-The collection of the Armenian Genocide
Museum-Institute has been completed with the addition of new
cartographic materials. Armenpress reported from the Armenian Genocide
Museum-Institute that these American, German, and British cartographic
materials are of great interest, as the borders of Turkey already
declared Republican exist there. Accordingly, the eastern boundary
of Turkey runs along the border which was laid out by the arbitral
resolution of the USA's 28th President, Woodrow Wilson.
These cartographic materials are the best evidence of the fact that
even after the Republic of Armenia's inclusion in the USSR and the
proclamation of the Republic of Turkey, the border between Armenia and
Turkey was considered to be the one established by the U.S. President
in November 1920, which did not undergo any changes by an international
agreement and was not considered null.
The Armenian Genocide Museum opened its doors in 1995, concurrently
commemorating the eightieth anniversary of the Genocide.
During its years of activity the Museum has received many visitors,
including schoolchildren, college students and an unprecedented number
of tourists both local and foreign.
The museum provides guided tours in Armenian, Russian, English,
French and German.
The Republic of Armenia has made visiting the Armenian Genocide
Museum part of the official state protocol and many foreign official
delegations have already visited the museum. These delegations have
included Pope John Paul II, Russian President Vladimir Putin, French
President Jacques Chirac, and other well-known social and political
figures.
The impressive two-story building is built directly into the side of a
hill so as not to detract from the imposing presence of the Genocide
Monument nearby. The roof of the Museum is flat and covered with
concrete tiles. It overlooks the scenic Ararat Valley and majestic
Mount Ararat.
The first floor of the Museum is subterranean and houses the
administrative, engineering and technical maintenance offices as well
as Komitas Hall, which seats 170 people. Here also are situated the
storage rooms for museum artifacts and scientific objects, as well
as a library and a reading hall. The Museum exhibit is located on
the second floor in a space just over 1000 square meters. There are
three main indoor exhibit halls and an outer gallery with its own hall.
The Genocide Monument is built for the remembrance of the innocent
victims of the first Genocide of the 20th century. The Genocide
Museum's mission statement is rooted in the fact that understanding
the Armenian Genocide is an important step in preventing similar
future tragedies, in keeping with the notion that those who forget
the past are condemned to repeat it.
