    ARMENIAN GENOCIDE MUSEUM INSTITUTE AND CANADIAN MUSEUM OF HUMAN RIGHTS TO SIGN MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING

    On November 7, Dr. Hayk Demoyan, Director of the Armenian Genocide
    Museum Institute (AGMI) in Yerevan, will meet Mr. Stuart Murray,
    President and CEO of the Canadian Museum for Human Rights (CMHR)
    in Winnipeg, to sign a historic Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).

    The objective of the MOU is to exchange knowledge and expertise,
    educational materials, and exhibitions with respect to human rights,
    share research and advice, cooperate to advance the academic study of
    human rights and reconciliation, the Armenian Genocide and its effects,
    and processes seeking justice and reconciliation, and work together
    to educate people on issues of human rights, in both national and
    global contexts.

    The MOU will be signed in the presence of His Excellency, Mr. Armen
    Yeganian, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic
    of Armenia, officials of the Zoryan Institute, and representatives
    of the Armenian community.

    In March of this year, Zoryan officials accompanied Dr. Clint Curle,
    the CMHR's Head of Stakeholder Relations, to Yerevan, to meet with
    the Director of the Armenian Genocide Museum Institute, the Republic
    of Armenia's Minister of Diaspora and other officials, to discuss
    the significance of the new museum being developed in Winnipeg in
    relation to the Armenian Genocide. At that time, discussions for
    formal cooperation between the two museums were held and plans for
    the formal signing ceremony later in the year made. The International
    Institute for Genocide and Human Rights Studies (A Division of the
    Zoryan Institute) (IIGHRS) has been instrumental in bringing the
    CMHR and AGMI together to the mutual benefit of both organizations
    and the Armenian and Canadian people.

    While in Canada, Dr. Hayk Demoyan will also be making two public
    appearances at events hosted by The Zoryan Institute in Montreal
    and Toronto. Dr. Demoyan will speak about recent research on Aurora
    Mardiganian, and he will also update the public on the official plans
    for the commemoration of the centennial of the Armenian Genocide.

    The official signing of the Memorandum of Understanding between the
    CMHR and AGMI is the culmination of the Zoryan Institute's efforts
    to bring the two institutions together. This agreement will help
    both institutions in their efforts to use awareness and dialogue as
    a way to promote enhanced human rights for the Armenian community,
    for Canadians, and for all visitors to the two museums.
