A delegation from the U.S. Department of Energy, headed by Aleshia Duncan, Deputy Assistant Secretary for International Nuclear Policy and Cooperation, visited the Armenian Genocide Memorial.
The guests were welcomed by Edita Gzoyan, Director of the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute, who accompanied them to the memorial and presented the history of its creation. The Director also drew attention to the three khachkars (cross-stones) placed in memory of the Armenians who fell victim to massacres orchestrated by the Azerbaijani government in Sumgait, Kirovabad (Gandzak), and Baku at the end of the last century. She also spoke about the five Armenian freedom fighters buried across from the memorial wall during the Artsakh liberation struggle, highlighting the connection between those events and the Armenian Genocide.
Members of the delegation from the United States laid flowers at the Eternal Flame and observed a minute of silence in memory of the innocent martyrs of the Armenian Genocide.
