On November 6, Amit Satija, Joint Secretary for Defence Affairs of the Ministry of Defence of India, visited the Armenian Genocide Memorial.
The guests were welcomed by the Director of the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute, Edita Gzoyan, who accompanied them to the Memorial and presented the history of its creation. The AGMI Director also spoke about the three khachkars (cross-stones) installed in the Tsitsernakaberd area in memory of the Armenians massacred in the Azerbaijani government-organized pogroms in Sumgait, Kirovabad (Gandzak), and Baku at the end of the last century. She also touched upon the stories of the five freedom fighters buried in front of the Memorial Wall during the Artsakh Liberation War, emphasizing the connection between those events and the Armenian Genocide.
The members of the Indian delegation laid flowers at the Eternal Flame and observed a minute of silence in memory of the innocent victims of the Armenian Genocide. They then toured the Armenian Genocide Museum, familiarized themselves with its permanent and temporary exhibitions, after which Mr. Amit Satija made an entry in the Honorary Guest Book.
