Every year, on April 24, Armenians around the world commemorate the victims of the Armenian Genocide. The Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute joins in honoring the memory of those who perished during the genocide perpetrated by the Ottoman Empire between 1915 and 1923. At the same time, it reaffirms its scientific and educational mission: to document and study the Armenian Genocide, preserve historical memory, promote international recognition and condemnation, and actively combat denialism.

The Armenian Genocide was a crime against humanity, aimed at the systematic destruction of the Armenian people in their ancestral homeland. Tragically, this crime continues through the ongoing denialist policies of the Republic of Turkey, expressed in various forms to this day.

Overcoming the consequences of the genocide and restoring justice within the framework of international law remain urgent tasks—especially in light of Azerbaijan’s recent acts of aggression in Artsakh, including war, violence, forced displacement, and the destruction of Armenian cultural heritage.

The committed and consistent involvement of the international community is vital for preventing future genocides, safeguarding cultural heritage, and protecting both individual and collective rights.

To that end, the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute will continue its outreach to the global community—hosting visiting official delegations at the Tsitsernakaberd Memorial Complex, collaborating with international partners, conducting in-depth research, organizing exhibitions, and initiating joint academic and educational programs worldwide.

The 110th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide serves as a solemn day of remembrance and a powerful reaffirmation of the enduring will to pursue truth, justice, and the protection of human rights.
