Officials with the human rights museum have signed a deal with their
counterparts at the Armenian Genocide Museum Institute.
The deal, officially signed Thursday, will see the two museums
"exchange knowledge and expertise, educational materials, and
exhibitions," amongst other things. The deal was facilitated with the
help of the International Institute for Genocide and Human Rights
Studies, a Canadian organization.
Approximately 1.5 million Armenians died during and after the First
World War when the leaders of the Ottoman Empire attempted to wipe out
their population for ethnic and religious reasons.
"This partnership will help bring the story of the Armenian genocide
to a wider audience, to the benefit of generations to come," said Hayk
Demoyan, director of the Armenian Genocide Museum Institute.
The Winnipeg-based human rights museum is slated to open on Sept. 20, 2014.
