On June 23, a delegation led by Gela Geladze, Minister of Internal Affairs of Georgia, visited the Armenian Genocide Memorial, accompanied by Armen Ghazaryan, Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs of Armenia.

The guests were warmly welcomed by Lusine Abrahamyan, Deputy Director for Museum Affairs at the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute. She escorted the delegation through the memorial, presenting its history. Deputy Director Abrahamyan also highlighted three khachkars (cross-stones) in the Tsitsernakaberd complex, dedicated to Armenians who were victims of massacres orchestrated by the Azerbaijani government in the late 20th century in Sumgait, Kirovabad (Gandzak), and Baku. Additionally, she shared the stories of five freedom fighters buried near the Memorial Wall who lost their lives during the Artsakh liberation struggle, emphasizing the connection between these events and the Armenian Genocide.

Officials from both countries laid a wreath at the monument honoring the victims of the Armenian Genocide. Afterwards, the guests placed flowers at the Eternal Flame and observed a minute of silence in memory of the innocent victims.

In gratitude for the visit, Deputy Director Abrahamyan presented the honored guest with books on the Armenian Genocide.
