On May 31, a delegation from the Hauts-de-Seine Department of France visited the Armenian Genocide Memorial Complex in Tsitsernakaberd.

The guests were welcomed by Lusine Abrahamyan, Deputy Director of the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute (AGMI) for Museum Affairs. She accompanied the delegation to the memorial, presenting the history of its creation and significance.

Deputy Director Abrahamyan also highlighted the presence of three khachkars (cross-stones) on the grounds of Tsitsernakaberd, commemorating the Armenians who were killed during the pogroms in Sumgait, Kirovabad (Gandzak), and Baku, organized by the Azerbaijani government at the end of the 20th century. She also spoke about the five freedom fighters buried near the Memorial Wall during the Artsakh liberation struggle, underlining the connection between those events and the Armenian Genocide.

The French delegates laid flowers at the Eternal Fire and observed a moment of silence in memory of the innocent victims of the Armenian Genocide.
