On March 31, the Deputy Prime Minister for Foreign and European Affairs of Montenegro, Mr. Filip Ivanović, visited the Armenian Genocide Memorial, accompanied by Deputy Foreign Minister of Armenia Paruyr Hovhannisyan.

The delegation was welcomed by Director of the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute (AGMI) Edita Gzoyan, who accompanied the guests to the memorial and presented the history of its establishment. Dr. Gzoyan also spoke about the three khachkars (cross-stones) placed on the grounds of Tsitsernakaberd in memory of Armenians killed in the Azerbaijani-organized massacres in Sumgait, Kirovabad (Gandzak), and Baku at the end of the last century. She also referred to the stories of five Armenian freedom fighters buried opposite the Memory Wall, who died during the Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) liberation war—highlighting the connection between these events and the Armenian Genocide.

Mr. Ivanović laid a wreath at the memorial monument commemorating the victims of the Armenian Genocide. The guests then placed flowers at the Eternal Flame and observed a moment of silence in memory of the innocent victims.

The delegation also visited the Armenian Genocide Museum, where they were guided through the permanent and temporary exhibitions by AGMI Deputy Director for Museum Affairs Lusine Abrahamyan. At the conclusion of the visit, Mr. Filip Ivanović signed the Museum’s Honorary Guest Book.
