A resolution was adopted, within the framework of the three-day conference titled "Challenges of Teaching the Armenian Genocide in the 21st Century," organised by the AGMI on April 20-22 last year, that stated that the participants of the conference, emphasising the re-evaluation of past experience and the teaching of the history of the Armenian Genocide, found that it was imperative to create and teach a course on "Basic Problems of the Armenian Genocide," in both public and higher education institutions. (The full text of the resolution may be found at http://www.genocide-museum.am/arm/13.05.22.php . Therefore, thanks to the consistent work carried out by the AGMI Directorate, a professional group was formed, by order of the Minister of Education and Culture of the Republic of Armenia, which held working discussions on this subject for several months. As a result of this, the programme for the course on the subject of "Basic Problems of the Armenian Genocide" was prepared, the use of which was approved by Janna Andreasyan, RA ESCS Minister, by order No. 878-A/2 of June 13, 2023.

When compiling the programme for the "Basic Problems of the Armenian Genocide" course, points made the teachers who participated in the educational programmes organised by the AGMI in recent years were also considered. The programme has already been posted on the RA Ministry of Education and Culture’s website.
