Armenian Genocide Museum Institute and Canadian Museum of Human Rights to
Sign Official Memorandum of Understanding
Toronto - On November 7, Dr. Hayk Demoyan, Director of the Armenian Genocide
Museum Institute (AGMI) in Yerevan, will visit 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.
IMG_06951559a8.jpgWhile 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.

Time: 7:30 PM
Location: AGBU Centre, 805, rue Manoogian, St-Laurent, QC

Studies and Prevention: An International Journal in partnership with the
