AGMI Director Harutyun Marutyan welcomed the guests and expressed gratitude for the donation: “In case of full collection of the Armenian Genocide recognition documents by the US States, we plan to organize a temporary exhibition. This is important for all of us; it is also part of Armenian-Americans history”.

It's important for local researchers to have reachable materials”.

Agha-Sargsyan brother and sister presented the path of their family and the process of recognition of the Armenian Genocide in the state of Georgia. They promised to be consistent so that archives on the Armenian Genocide recognition must be sent to the AGMI also from other US states.
