    PARIS, CALIFORNIA, MEXICO TO HOST EXHIBITIONS COMMEMORATING ARMENIAN GENOCIDE

    17:21 * 30.03.15

    Large exhibitions commemorating the Armenian Genocide will take place
    in Paris, France, California, USA, and Mexico.

    Exhibits - belongings of victims and survivors of the Armenian
    Genocide, pictures and other things - will be displayed at the
    exhibition, Hayk Demoyan, Director of the Armenian Genocide
    Museum-Institute, told reporters on Monday.

    The Paris Municipality will host a temporary exhibition dedicated to
    the Armenian Genocide Centennial, on April 29.

    The "Armenia 1915: Paris hosts the collection of the Armenian Genocide
    Museum-Institute of Yerevan" exhibition will run April 29 to July 4.

    "We are grateful to the Paris municipality for affording us such a
    unique opportunity to present a special collection in the heart of
    Europe. Europeans will be able to see the exhibition for two months.

    The collection includes about 150 exhibits, which contain unique
    information on each human tragedy. A collection of the Armenian
    Genocide survivor Aurora Mardiganian has a unique place in the exhibits
    presented by the AGMI, the originals of which will be displayed for the
    first time namely during Paris exhibition. The exhibition involves the
    posters of the silent film "Auction of Souls" where Aurora Mardiganian
    played herself, as well as photos, personal belongings, releases and
    other unique items. The film was screened at Salle Gaveau hall of
    Paris in 1919," Mr Demoyan said.

    The expenses associated with the translation and publication of
    exhibition related four books were covered by ACBA-CREDIT AGRICOLE
    bank.

    The Jewish Cultural Center of California will host the exhibition on
    April 8-10, and the Museo Memoria y Tolerancia in Mexico will host
    it on April 16.

    "But we also plan to hold exhibitions in New York and Washington. A
    large exhibition entitled 'The Armenian Genocide and Russia's
    reaction' will take place in Moscow, on April 20-23. I should note
    that exhibitions have been held in dozens of halls throughout Russia,"
    Mr Demoyan said.
