YEREVAN, 21 APRIL, ARMENPRESS. The Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute
is opening its doors with an updated and enriched exhibition ahead of
the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. The official opening
ceremony of the new exhibition was held on April 21. During a press
conference, Director of the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute
Hayk Demoyan informed that the museum's collection includes more
than 90,000 materials, making it the world's largest collection of
materials devoted to the Armenian Genocide.
According to him, the new exhibition is more for foreigners who won't
be able to call into question the fact that the Armenian Genocide
was planned.
Hayk Demoyan also informed that the representatives of 20 media
outlets, including Turkish media outlets will have the opportunity
to view the new exhibition on April 23. "The museum will showcase new
and updated materials not as a exhibition presenting the remembrance
of the Armenian people and Armenia, but also the history of Turkey
and the Turks. Thus, this museum will also serve as a platform for
young Turks to come and confront their past," Hayk Demoyan said.
He also informed that the museum would be open to visitors on April
25 and that it would only be open for representatives of foreign
delegations and media outlets until then. According to him, the area
has been expanded 2.5 times and will include 12 galleries instead of
the previous 3. There will also be 50 titles.
