The Greek delegation, headed by Andreas Katsaniotis, Deputy Foreign Minister, visited the Armenian Genocide Memorial on October 30.
The guests were welcomed by Lusine Abrahamyan, AGMI Deputy Director for Museum Affairs, who presented the history of the creation of the Memorial. She also presented them 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, stressing that what happened was a continuation of the Armenian Genocide.
Mr. Andreas Katsaniotis laid a wreath at the Genocide Monument; the members of the Greek delegation then 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 where they became acquainted with the permanent and temporary exhibitions, after which Mr. Andreas Katsaniotis made a note in the Memory Book for Honourable Guests.
