On November 2, the delegation led by the head of the Estonia-Armenia friendship group of the Republic of Estonia, Mati Raidma, visited the Armenian Genocide Memorial, accompanied by the head of the RA NA Armenia-Estonia friendship group, Arsen Torosyan.

The delegation was greeted by Lusine Abrahamyan, AGMI Deputy Director for Museum Affairs, who narrated the history of the creation of the Memorial complex. She also presented the guests with the history of the three khachkars placed in the Tsitsernakaberd area in memory of the Armenians who died in the massacres in the cities of Sumgait, Kirovabad (Gandzak) and Baku in the last century organised by the Azerbaijani government, and the stories of the five freedom fighters buried in front of Memory Wall during the Artsakh war, emphasising the connection between what happened then and the Armenian Genocide.

Members of the delegation laid flowers at the Eternal Fire and observed a minute’s silence in memory of the innocent martyrs of the Armenian Genocide.

At the end of the visit the guests also made a tour in the memory Park.
