On November 2, the delegation led by the President of the French Haut-de-Seine Department, Georges Siffredi, visited the Armenian Genocide Memorial, accompanied by the Deputy Governor of Tavush, Narek Ghushchyan.

The guests were welcomed by Lusine Abrahamyan, the AGMI Deputy Director for Museum Affairs, who presented the history of the creation of the Memorial. She also presented the history of the three khachkars placed in the Tsitsernakaberd area in memory of the Armenians who died in the massacres organised by the Azerbaijani government in the cities of Sumgait, Kirovabad (Gandzak), and Baku in the last century, stressing that what happened was a continuation of the Armenian Genocide.

Georges Siffredi and Narek Ghushchyan laid a wreath at the Genocide Monument, after which the guests laid flowers at the Eternal Fire and observed a minute’s silence in memory of the innocent martyrs of the Armenian Genocide.

They also toured the Armenian Genocide Museum accompanied with AGMI senior guide Hasmik Martirosyan and got acquainted with the permanent and temporary exhibitions, after which Mr. Georges Siffredi made a note in the Memory Book for Honorable Guests.
