The Chairman of the Human Rights Commission of the National Council of Austria, Nikolaus Scherak, visited the Armenian Genocide Memorial


18.06.2024


The Chairman of the Human Rights Commission of the Austrian National Council, Nikolaus Scherak, visited the Armenian Genocide Memorial, on 18 June, accompanied by the Deputy Chairman of the RA NA Standing Committee on Human Rights Protection and Public Affairs, Rustam Bakoyan.

Lusine Abrahamyan, AGMI Deputy Director for Museum Affairs, welcomed the guests. She then accompanied them round the Genocide Memorial complex, presenting the history of its creation. Emphasising the connection with the Armenian Genocide, Mrs. Lusine Abrahamyan also narrated the history of the three khachkars placed in Tsitsernakaberd in memory of the Armenians who died in the massacres organized by the government of Azerbaijan in the cities of Sumgait, Kirovabad (Gandzak), and Baku at the end of the 20th century, as well as the stories of the five freedom fighters buried in front of the Memory Wall who died during the Artsakh struggle for survival, emphasising the connection between what happened then and the Armenian Genocide.

The guests put 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 and got acquainted with the permanent and temporary exhibitions, after which Mr. Nikolaus Scherak left a note in the Memory Book for Honoured Guests.

Expressing thanks for the visit, AGMI Deputy Director for Museum Affairs Lusine Abrahamyan presented the honorable guest with some books about the Armenian Genocide.
